(1/12) > >>

pappy:
are gun toting, gang bangin, mob boss, drug dealin criminals.  like just on this board for instance.  When someone brings up crime stats in america, i get the vibe they think everyone in america is involved in some illegal act.  When they talk about rappers they say stuff like he is just talking about daily events in his neighborhoods.  And its like that shit dont happen every minute.  Like i saw someone say loyd banks album is just telling stories about his neighborhood jamaica queens.  an its like do you realize how big jamaica is.  Do you realize you have rich neighborhoods in jamaica an slums.  And in the slums it aint raining bullets like rappers say it is.  I dunno i got a lot to say but i cant put it into words lol.  Jus like seer asked do us americans think europe is some giant 3rd world country.  Do you europeans think america is some giant gang territory where everyone owns a gun or sells drugs. 

mauzip:
No, but I think I can say out of experience Europeans have a better picture of the USA than Americans have of Europe.

hector:
hmmm, well I'm actually from America, and I thought that was true.

Jome:
You just get the general impression that near all Americans have weapons, and it's 100 times easier to purchase weapons there, like e.g. selling it in malls and shit, wether you're mentally fit to own a gun or not.

E.g. on the Munch "Scream & Madonna" theft today, 2 of the witnesses was from America, this is what they told press:

50-60 year old dude:
"This guy was waving around with a, well you know I'm from Texas so I know my guns hehe, I think a .37 caliber or .40"

Woman:
"The man looked crazy and confused, he pointed around with a, I think it was a 40 caliber, it's actually the first time I seen a gun in Norway"

Owning a weapon here in Norway, usually means 3 things:
1. You're a hunter or in a shooting club.
2. You're a policeman or in the military
3. You're a criminal

We don't keep guns for security reasons over here, it's not needed at all.  :)
