ZILLA THA GOODFELLA:
is it because we juss have way more cutthroat muthafucaz out here or what? that's all I can think of....we juss so different and take shit so seriously....over time, I've learned how to chill more and stay laid back about situations and different issues, but it seems the people that I grew up with are juss gettin more ruthless about shit and losing all kinds of hope....so it's like society is juss gettin worse and worse.... in that bowling for columbine dvd, it was showin how every country in Europe etc has like 100/200/300 murders by a gun per year etc, then when it came to U.S.A it was like 12,000 or some shit, it was incredible. And U can't blame it on guns, I bet U we have em available to us juss as much as they do. This shit came to my mind cuzz 1 of my boys is real fucked up rite now over his best friend gettin killed tha other day, I kno how it feels, my best friend at 14 died also, but thing is this year San Francisco is suppose 2 be hitting murder records with like over 80 gang-related murder rate so far. shed some light on it........

Lincoln:
Yeah, I think you're right about people just taking things too seriously. I mean, Canadians and Americans are pretty similar but we're very laid back up here in comparison, and you can see that with gun related murders.

Don Rizzle:
it also has to do with the fact that we have very strict gun laws and i would not say they are as easily avaliable here as they are in america where u can buy them in walmart, americans have a thing a about guns and thats gonna be a way to release your anger in a moment of fury if you had stricter laws less people would have guns thus gun crime will go down, if your police can't control the underground thats another matter.
