united states exporting violence to canada
Real American:
Hip hop is definitely contributing to crime in all parts of the world. The whole anti authority, fuck the world mentality is being pumped into the heads of kids all across the world. That does have an effect on their behavoir.

While the man leaving the door open would be seen as an idiot, the burglar would still be punished. I don't blame America for our gun problem, but I do feel the americans that are selling the guns or bringing them in should be punished.
I still think the main blame falls on the soft sentencing of those caught with guns, and the media representation of blacks as well as the lack of male role models contributes greatly to the behaviour. Native Americans had it much worse than Blacks in this country and while they have their own set of major issues, gun murder isn't one of them. Asians had it pretty bad here for a while too. Arabs, Sri Lankans, Eastern Europeans, and Africans as well. The major problem is with Jamaican and other Carribean immigrants. The lifestyle they came from which is in the home and the lifestyle they see growing up on TV and in music has to have an effect. Look at all the blacks in Nova Scotia who came with the Underground Railroad; Crime is low, murder is low, productivity is on par wih the rest of Canada. The Carribean black on average is way more likely to fall through the cracks than any other black in this country because of a lot of factors. Media may not be the main one but it has to count for something.

That's the way I was really trying to say it, that we're being stupid leaving our door open. As Canadians we should be focused on ourselves though, letting American officials deal with the American criminals.

God America is awesome, the rest of the world even envies our negative traits. It's beautiful how we're the number one country in the world.
