Silver Screen / Bowling for Columbine

Actually, my brother went to Germany for about a year recently, and talked with people about crime in other countries. America has, by far, the highest rate of crime, for virtually everything.
Apparently the thing about communities in Canada not locking their doors is true--he said that anyone can just walk up to someone's door, open it, and the person inside will just give a friendly "Hello!" Amazing.
In Germany, too, the crime is much less. I took a trip there with my father this past summer, for a week, and at night I could walk the streets of Heidelberg without a single fear of being a victim. Also, everybody seemed well-mannered, minding their own routines and not sticking their noses in other people's business. I really hate the way some people are in this country. Just plain jerks.
I tell you, it's like another world over there, and it's awesome because of it. If I didn't love America's conveniences so much, I'd go live in Germany. Who knows, maybe I will anyway.
