Since we are larger than most European countries, and way more diverse (generally) with large cities, we are bound to have more violence and media coverage. We will have any excuse for media to make a story. I remember as a kid, if somebody was killed, it was a big deal, people were moved emotionally over the loss. Today, it is common, turn the page, what is next, type of attitude, we are hardened to violence, and it has become a way of life. "We are not in Kansas, anymore!"

I think it’s media. It is rare that I hear about other parts of the world but it’s bound to be going on there as well. For every sensational story reported there is a thousand good ones to tell……...

Breaking Bad was a winning TV show. I loved it and will watch it again. The thing is: It's full of violence. I've never seen so much violence. It's not like me to watch that but the acting and the psychology pulled me in.

of course there are more shooting deaths here than in Europe or Canada. First of all, at the boarder of Canada, there's a big sign that says absolutely NO guns will be allowed in Canada, at all.And if you have even the remotest arrest record, from 45 or 50 years ago, they will detain you at the boarder.Canada has many guns for hunting, but they have a much lower crime rate than the U.S.

I would say yes, I think we see more murders and violence on our news about America than anywhere else. But of course America is a much larger country, and we do have more violence in the UK than we did. We have some cities than are unsafe, parts of London have areas where you wouldn't walk at night. I have a friend who's a Police Inspector in our local town, and he says it's the most dangerous place in Essex on a Saturday night. I'm not sure about that, mind you an Essex girl and her stilettos can be pretty dangerous.

I'd like to go back to a town like that - if such a place exists.
