    Is USA too violent?

    I really really respect Johnny Depp. I think he's a great actor.

    However, I read that he lives in Paris with his wife and children because USA is too violent.

    Is this true?

    I always thought that Americans are peaceful

              ok so let me get this straight. Americans prefer use of violence instead of brain?
              And that's why Johnny Depp is a pussy cuz he doesnt?

                      no, reread my post
                      johnny depp is a pussy cause he is a hypocrite
                      he has gone on many anger binges before.....he did like $6000 damage to a hotel room once.....he himself can be a violent man....
                      so when he sais he doesnt like to live in the u.s. because it's too violent, hes a hypocryte.

                          Sorry I didnt know the definition of the word violence. I thought violence is damage done to other people, I didnt think its damage done to hotel rooms.

                          Btw, I also think he could afford that 6k

                          But thanks for clearing this out

                              I was born in the U.S., have lived all over the country and have never had a friend or family member have any problems at all.

                              Course there's some neighborhoods I'd get a little nervous being in.

                                  It depends on where one lives here in the good ol usa

                                  my house hardly ever gets locked - I never lock my car
                                  Out front theirs a stocked tool box,four wheeler, boat etc.
                                  sitting out front
                                  I never worry about anything getting stolen

                                  But 60 miles southwest of me is shreveport,la
                                  you better lock ALL your shit up or it aint gonna be there the mornin

                                  and yes theres alot of people that carry guns around here
                                  including myself. In my 35years I have never fired a gun at another person nor do I know of anyone that has.

                                  BUT if some ass wipe feels lucky one night and crawls in my house
                                  he's a dead motherfucker - and I can shoot him legally, as long as he's "in my house" - can't shoot him in the yard

                                  Do I feel safe here - yes very much so

                                              Yeah it's so much more violent then what's going on elsewhere in the world right now.

                                              He's just a pussy and its better that he doesn't live here, guess france suits him just fine.

                                                  I feel safe in US. Unless you are in Detroit. LOL
                                                  When I drive in US I hardly lock my car, but when I am in Europe
                                                  I always make sure I lock it good.

                                                      He's one to talk.

                                                      Johnny Depp trashed a hotel room in NYC costing them $1,200 in damages, was arrested in Vancouver for having a fight with a hotel security guard, and was fucking Kate Moss when she was only 16.

                                                          Some analysis:

                                                          You're approx 10 times more likely to be murdered in South Africa than in the USA.
                                                          You're more likely to be the victim of crime in Canada (excluding homicide) than in the US.
                                                          You stand the same chance of being a victim of crime (excluding homicide) in the USA and you are in France.

                                                          You're 10 times more likely to get flamed on GFY than on Adult Webmaster Info

                                                                      For example, Finland has a population of 5,181,115 and had an estimated 27,323 violent offences reported (manslaughter, murder, homicide and assault). That's about 1 violent offence per 190 people.

                                                                      The USA, God bless Her, had a (based on 2000 data) population of 282,124,631 and an actual (as opposed to reported) figure, based on data gathered from victims (instead of law enforcement entities), of 2,186,700 violent crimes. That's about 1 violent offence per 130 people.

                                                                      That's interesting.

                                                                              If repeat violent offenders were actually punished properly here, we'd have a lot less violent crime.

Hundreds of millions of people work in DC and NY every day. But no one lives there. The only people that live inside of DC and NY are people who live in the extremely bad and poor neighborhoods. Most of the people that work there live in the nice suburbs around the cities, which are lower crime zones. This is the case in any large city. Most of the cities you wouldn't want to be in at night, but during the day they are crime free.

That doesn't hold true today. The ONLY true friend the US has is England. Every other country has one hand out for our money while the other hand is holding a "down with America" sign.

                                                                                                                  Its time for America to take a year off from propping up the world so that mikas and martins of the world realize just how much we do.
                                                                                                                  That is very true. I get sick of hearing people talk about how evil the US is while in their next breath telling us how much more we owe the world because everything we've already done and still do isn't enough.
