We don't have the highest incidence of death by firearm in the world, as the USA does.
We are a happy and peaceful society with a high standard of living, democracy, and equality of legal recourse.
Really? You keep saying this, but there are 59 countries with a lower crime index then you all while both you and America are in the 40s on the index. America is equal to France and Sweden...
One day you might stop this never ending oh we are so good crap....lol

Yes we have crime. Still way, way lower than in the USA, where you have open carry of guns that was supposed to be protective (clearly it isn't).
You see, changing the subject and trying to evade the point only works if you aren't worse off, even in those new criteria, in the first place.
LOL

I'm just calling you out after you have made similar statements over and over.
You are 42 and we are 47 on a scale 13 to 84....Really? Statistically we are the same... I'm not changing anything you brought it up. There is very little difference between the two of us overall, but you hate guns...lol

No one cares about your country. That's all you do. It sounds exactly like someone who can't stop talking about how great the US is, or how great some other country is. How about talk about the OP or start your own "My country is soooo much better" thread.

Yeah, sorry.
But I'm also fairly sure that people do care about countries other than yours.

New Zealand is the 41st from the lowest homicide rate on that page, and the USA is 127th from it.

Your head
All you do in every single thread you're in is talk about violence and New Zealand.

OK your point...you just like to cherry pick don't you...lol I gave violent crime statistics and you have 59 safer countries than you and your index is 42 and America is 47 on a 11 to 84 scale... What this means you and I have about the same chance for a violent crime to happen to us in our respective countries.

New Zealand's rate is 0.9854 homicides per 100,000 and the USA's rate is 5.3533 homicides per 100,000. So the USA has a homicide rate of 5.34 times that of New Zealand on a per-capita basis.
And I pointed out statistically not much different 42 to 47 scaled... You said crime...not just homicides... but no one ever takes into account gang related either which the vast majority of America is really no where near, so yes they add a big chunk to our totals but they are mainly isolated to their areas.
Yes we have crime. Still way, way lower than in the USA

New Zealand
Isnt that the baby-killing capital of the world?
Where a certain group happily bash their own children to death on a VERY regular basis and go unpunished in the majority of cases? Refusing to speak to police even to defend an infant child.
Some lives don’t matter I guess
Pretty sure that’s the country. No wonder he so obviously envies the USA
(Also their gun grab was an abysmal failure, that’s upsetting for some New Zealanders who find firearms terrifying)
