    America and murder?

    Well there was a genocide in Darfur and the Holocaust. Mass murder! Not in America!

    America and murder?

    xD

    Nope, these numbers are from the sections of wikipedia, I counted the number of them that said U.S and then I divided it by the total number, timesd it by 100, and I got the percentage for each section.

    27.7
    29.6
    4.7
    31.3
    30.2
    54.1
    42.8

    There they are above^.

    However, you will most likely be thinking "4.7 is a complete outlier, what is it doing there?"

    Well, I added together the total number of mass murder on each individual list, which was 480, added all the numbers in the above list which was 183.7, and divided it by 480, once again, timesed by 100, and got my main average

    (Yes, they are all rounded to the most appropriate number)

    So yes, I don't make up false numbers

    (Oh, and I stored all the numbers in notepad, just because I couldn't remember them, and I havn't closed the window yet)

    Also, they better not be on the link!!! I spent ages on them

    America and murder?

    Query: where do you get these numbers exactly? Are they specifically on the link I put up or do you get them from elsewhere?

    It's just that 43.1% of all statistics are usually made up on the spot.... (oh! the irony! I couldn't resist!)

    America and murder?

    The average percentage of American mass murders compared to the rest of the world is 38.2708%

    That is quite high, but every mass murder case will be there, compared to un-heard of cases in developing countries.

    America and murder?

    Very interesting, Interesting, you have shown a very good point.

    The USA is a very large country, however, out of the first 173 (Random number, it is in sections though) the percentage is only 27.7% out of all the other counties.

    Also relating to your point, this is most likely to be overly high, as many of them are not recorded in developing countries (not as well) so the rate will still most likely be lower.

    And yes, it does seem that America glamourises its self a lot.

    I got the idea for this theory, from a film trailer, it was a childerens comedy, but still made a very good point. It said "Once again, a spaceship has landed in America, the only country space ships ever seem to land in" Which has made me think a lot, and then I put 1+1 together (it sounds better) and got 27.7.

    The list of mass murderers.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Mass_murderers

    Just a link which might enlighten you inquiry. Many of them are not American.

    However, America may be the only country to litterally glamorize them, hence the impression that there are more of them in the United States. It's also a question of keeping records of them - many disorganized or third-world countries may not have such good ways of tracking said criminals.

    Microsoft seem to have made it so you cant:

    1) Uninstall vista
    2) Delete vista
    3) Overwrite vista
    4) Use vista
    5) Enjoy using vista

    But yey, XP PRO SP3 tomorow. Its gonna be AWESOME!

    ... i can finally use my £160 moniter...

    [More stuff (unrelated)]

    Omg, i can edit other peoples comments....

    Vista is a redicioulas waste of time

    Now then, this will make you laugh.

    Vista is so bad, microsoft have acctually programmed it so that you can't downgrade it to XP on a retail bought version (or downloaded version)

    So yeh, I am currently installing Ubuntu and then I am going to instal XP followed by deleting Vista off XP

    (partly because i dont know how to use Ubuntu very well... or at all, and also because i want to rub it in vista's faces!)

    Windows Ford Vista Crasher!

    well, according to this, i have another 7 hours left with vista, untill its gone for good

    But better than that, because i like the design of vista (although many people dont) the version of xp i am putting on has a vista theme. so it will at least look the same.... well similar....

    so yeh, it will look good, but work for once

    Aaaww welcome to Vistaland

    I have had so many Vista Horror Stories the last year or so I could write a book about it

    My favorite is still "The Virus": last summer I got a virus but somehow it took me about a week to figure it out (I had this random idea to run a scan cos I was bored) because the comp was actually functioning almost as "normal" as it does with Vista normally
