national murder rates (per 1000 people)

http://www.nationmaster.com/graph-B/cri_mur_cap

America is #40

statistically, you are 5 times more likely to get murdered if you live in the USA than you are in the UK, Germany, Italy, Spain, Greece, Norway, Denmark, Ireland, Switzerland, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Japan, or New Zealand. and more than twice as likey to get murdered if than if you lived in Canada or Australia.


compared to the top countries,
Americans have a 50% greater chance of not reaching 60 years old.

and the USA is #42 for life expectency (meaning people live longer in 41 other countries)
http://www.nationmaster.com/graph-T/...at_bir_tot_pop which might be partialy because the USA has far fewer hospital beds per capita than countries that take health care more seriously. http://www.nationmaster.com/graph-T/hea_hos_bed


This isn't "hate"; just some pure numbers to think about.
Why are all these 'poorer' 'less powerful' countries keeping their citizens healthier and safer?
