Weird But True..

after watching the movie bowling 4 columbine i have come 2 a conclusion..

if you have watched it you would know that every year 11,000 ppl die from gun deaths in the us well only 150'ish ppl die in canada every year from gun deaths.

not its not like u guys have way more ppl in your country, nor do you have more guns.

what makes us so different? why do ppl in toronto leave there doors unlocked at night, even if they have been robbed 3-4 times? and ppl in the us dont?

why dont ppl go on murderous rampages in canada? we have the same tv, and video games.

what is the difference??

p.s if you havnt seen bowling 2 columbine rent it, its a very good movie, it will make you think.

It might be something to do with the weather Canuk. The hotter the weather the hotter the temper. Coupled of course with the availability of guns. Take a look at all the equatorial countries in the world. It is virtually non stop fighting. That is my theory anyway.

Well, one thing is that the US does have 10 times the people of Canada, but that would only add up to 1,500 people dead each year. The reason is probably that there are less hand guns in Canada, being as they are illegal there.

rong again. you dont think we have gang wars in canada? shit i can go 2 walmart in toronto and but a shot gun, and a colt. jesus, we legalized dope. theres just as much coruption.

its just the whole thing pisses me off.
what the hell is the difference??

There is a lot more that 10 times the population in the US.


You're one to bring this subjet to light, TheCanuk. You have a lot to learn. Just look at your avatar.

And "rong" is just wrong. :P

Bowling for columbine's deaths do not count but the death rate makes more sense. There's tons o' shootings in Edmonton

maybe its reputation - Americans have to look hard in front of all the other countries, and Canada has to look the Underdog that everyone roots for

ya

but why did americans need 2 take over cultures and countrys 2 be free?

I think it's just a matter of News........where I live there are a lot of things bad happen same as the rest of the contry, but it never makes the news so Sheringham is a nice little town.........See what I'm saying, it does happen everywhere, it just gets shown more cos America like to show off (no offence)

Last year, there were 149 killings in Canada through guns. Apparently there were "around 30,000" Americans killed in the same manner.

I can, however, assure you that the majority of people do not leave their doors unlocked. ;) And I live in a podunk mountain town.

Edit: Oh, and there were 582 homicides reported.
