In the inner city crime is everywhere, and the cops take forever to respond, and in the country cops just take forever to respond. Police are much better at investigating crimes, and collecting law breakers than they are at protecting us and preventing crimes. | |

Is it as bad in Italy as it is here?
Anyone who doubts the validity of the right to bear arms is invited to join me in Philadelphia for a tour of some 'select' parts of the city... | |

What do you think the difference is there versus here? What are you doing in rome anyway? Are you going to school, or stationed there with your family or something? | |

Good on your dad.
What do you think the difference is that allows Italy to have such a low crime rate vs. the U.S.? How long have you lived in Italy? | |
