COMMENTARY     

Quirel (United states.)
19th October 2007
OK. How about seeing this list according to population?
And there's NO way this list is accurate. Mexico is listed has having one fifteenth of the crimes of the United States.

Right.

The only reason Canada is on here is because of the country right under us! A country full of thugs and criminals!
