Hello,

I just watched the documentary Bowling for Columbine, and i taught i raised some intersting facts about the american culture.
Everyone is aware of the violence in the states and usualy most people assimilate it with the issue of gun control....
Actually there are as many guns in Canada as in the state ( per family ...) and the rate of crime is so much lower there so i'm wondering what is it abotu american culture that makes is so violent ?
In the documentary they suggest the fear factor transported by all the news media (for demonstartion watch the 6 pm news ...QED), i'm not too sure that this alone can be significant alone.
Let me have some of your input ?
