It should be noted that we don't just have more gun crime, we have more crime
PERIOD. I've been to Canada and I feel much safer on Canadian cities than in
American cities.
The culture there is way different, people carry themselves differently. You
don't have cars driving by with loud bass booming obscenities like you do
here in America. And your youth have much more manners than ours.
I blame America's crime problem on the fact that America has stopped
parenting our kids. That's the first thing I notice when I travel is how
much better kids behave in foreign countries. There is a very big
difference!
Our kids are caught up in fashion, keeping up with the Kartrashians, and the
latest music craze. They have no true role models... and no support or
discipline at home. Parents often feel like it's easier to give in to their
every whim than say no here.
When I traveled to Canada two years ago I was blown away by something that
your youth has that most American youth doesn't... GOOD MANNERS.
