I'm not arguing Hong Kong. I'm just pretty offended you called America a "rampant" crime ridden country. You'd be offended if I called Hong Kong successful only because of the British. But I guess I can argue that as long as you can argue "rampant" violence in the states.

Actually I would not be offended if you said HK was successful because of the british. Like it or not I believe hong kong would not be what it is today without the british.

I say american crime is rampant because it is compared to where I'm from. I'm not saying that to be insulting or to bash, I'm saying that because crime in any one of your cities is high in comparison. I believe it is a legitimate argument. And no I do not claim you are all thugs or criminals. And I do not claim america is the most violent nation in the world.
