Another fun chart

[SwordsMaster]

After my opium chart last week, I give you something more controversial. Now, keep it civil. This is NOT against gun control, but it seems fairly obvious that, while in Europe people swear a lot, and threaten people drunk, our co-specimens from across the pond actually kill people. Note that I didn't say guns kill people.

The murder rate for England and Wales is higher than anywhere in western Europe (except Finland, Belgium and France) but Britain still lags Canada and America. However, when it comes to non-deadly violence, Britain soars ahead. In a 28-country International Crime Victims Survey, Britons were the second likeliest (after Icelanders) to say they had been threatened or assaulted in the past five years, ahead of countries with much higher murder rates.

So please focus on the sociological issue, and not the logistical one. After all you can kill people with a sharpened stone.
