More cell phones than people...

First of all, the gap between South Africa (#1) and us is MASSIVE while the gap after that is exponentially tiny, so don't sweat it.

Secondly, this only covers gun deaths- crime rate is a whole different ballgame. A gun ban is ineffective if the crime skyrockets while deaths plummet.'

CASE IN POINT:
The UK wasn't even on the gun death chart, but on the assault chart, we're ahead by just 2 tenths: http://www.nationmaster.com/graph-T/cri_ass_cap

And the UK is ahead of us on the carjacking chart: http://www.nationmaster.com/graph-T/cri_car_the_cap

Check Australia as well. They have a gun ban- and they show the same statistics.

Luxembourg, who woulda knew?

[I Hate Pants]

Come to Canada if you want to get stabbed

[Derfud]

Luxembourg, who woulda knew?

Because every single person in Luxembourg is filthy rich.

6th overall in murders and in Bowling for Columbine Moore made us look soooo bad, sure its higher than the UK and Canada, but these are the sacrafices for freedom (IE guns)

[Derfud]

Canada has freedom, you just have to register when you buy a gun, and you can only own certain types. There is a difference.

America is number 8... keep the kevlar on when you get home.

[JetRaiden]

columbia? hm, not surprising. :rolleyes:


but south africa? geez. I honestly didnt think that would be up there.

[Everay]

raiden, not to offend anyone here, but Africa is a shit hole. remember about a year or three ago guy raped a baby because its common knowlege there that sex with multipul virgins gets rid of AIDs? Africa=shithole.

Hmmm... Civil War... AIDs epidemic... Racist/Anti-rascist movements... Its a hotbed for Bang Bang Shootemup type actions.

true, I'd think one of those other african countries would be up there, but its "Where to get shot" not "Where to be stabbed with a sharpened twig"

[Sputty]

South Africa is the rape capital of the world.

Yea that was pretty fucked up what happened in Berlin, more rapes reported then there were women in the city. I don't like Russians.

[Smaug]

Well you can't really blame them for trying to get some revenge for what the germans did to them.

the germans did the same to the russian women and girls.

[JetRaiden]

I dunno man, 100,000s of women died after that invasion, mostly suicides.

[Smaug]

When it comes to Germans and Russians, you can't really claim that one side was worse than the other.

[Zodiac]

I could argue that, but im not going to, it's all history. Now, back to bashing Africa!

[Setari]

i think youre overlooking the psychological stress these people went through. The Russians endured horrible treatment at the hands of the SS during the German invasion. Then they lost over 1 million fellow soldiers just taking the city. I believe it's safe to say they weren't exactly thinking with a straight mind.

[Sputty]

Indeed, Africa sucks. Only Libya is good, with their sweet, sweet oil.

[Zodiac]

Negative, Egypt owns.

[Sputty]

No, Egypt sucks.(terrorist harbouring for the lose)

[Smaug]

I like Djibouti, because its fun to say.

[Setari]

What about the Congo and South Africa with their white native Africans.

[Sputty]

They're being massacred and driven out Setari.

[JetRaiden]

I like Madagascar, because its an island.

[Everay]

AND it has a cool name.

And now, we return you to your regular thread programming.

Cellphones: The only reason we are so low on that list is because we are way more populated than Taiwan. Any random 100 people in Taiwan are going to be more likely to have phones, because any random 100 people in the united states (if memory serves, 100 out of about 218 million) are much less likely to have a phone. I mean, look out in the extreme rural areas of the US. Little to none of those people have cell phones.

its closer to 300 million now.

yea I think the per 100 ratio of phones is somewhat...I dunno..

all I know is we have a billion times more cell phones then Taiwan.

One of the people I worked with over the summer is Pakistani, and every August he flies back to Pakistan to visit his family. He said that the cellphone reception and service is much better in Pakistan then it is in the US... Why? Simply less land to cover... In the United States there is a lot of farmland, with wide spread cities and thusly widespread phone towers, etc. In a small nation, such as Pakistan or Taiwan, everything is much closer... the large cities are not widespread, and in some cases the phone tower transmission ranges overlap... no blackout zones.
