Yea, the US being compared with EU countries on violent deaths is like comparing apples to oranges. The only similarity is they're both a fruit.
When a violent death happens here in the NL, it's on the news because it just doesn't happen often. People die from misdiagnosed cancer more here than from violence.
On the upside though, I know the US has to be ahead of apologizing for the Indians, slavery, and every other world incident, being politically correct, letting the minority/religious nut jobs run everything and letting the government completely erode everything the country was founded upon.
