No doubt at all about that.

What the hell does Japan's ADULT SUICIDE RATE have to do with kids shooting up schools? Want to blame the high price of copper on the commodities market as well?

The western Europoean socialist democracies have universal single-payer health care, protective trade policies, and unions. I don't know (and didn't state otherwise) about how stable they are.

I do know they are as a whole less violent than the US...

And the vandalous Norwegian teens and the xenophobic Swiss politicians aren't related to school shootings or the general dissatisfaction levels of the the youth population.

You're welcome to start making sense at anytime.
