Well, I gotta agree with it for the Mexican border. I live not to far from the boarder of Juarez (Mexico), and I think it'll help out a lot. This is where all the kids go to party since the legal drinking age is eighteen. There are American who go there who get kidnapped and held up for ransom, girls who are kidnapped and sold as sex slaves (yes, that does happen), along with kids driving back across the border and killing themselves or someone else because their drunk. There is also a lot of teens developing alcohol blood poisoning. Also when a murder is committed around this area in the states, that's the first place the murderer goes...and usual get there before the police can label them as a suspect. From there, they simply disappear, living a good life on a Mexican tropical beach. \nI'm not saying that everything will stop, but do think things will improve. I am very hopeful. I'm not sure when it's going to take effect, but the sooner the better. \nAs far as having a passport to get into Canada, I can't really give you an answer on it because I not sure what all happens on the Canadian border.

Absolutely. There is a huge problem with internet fraud and the proliferation of child pornography. MacLean's magazine had a great article recently titled something like, The Internet Sucks. People think they can spread hate propoganda and get away with it. I'm all for free speech too, but not this kind of free speech.

who said so? not if Chuck Norris could help it. It should be a written law of punishment that any lawbreakers would be roundhouse kicked by CChuck himself. The sheer ferocity of this kick would drop the crime rate to near zero, if any...

No. I live in in a rural area of the country where it is commonplace for the farmers and avid deer hunters to have guns. It is common for teen boys to be given a gun and taken out to the woods, dad and son, to learn how to hunt and be responsible with it. Considering how prolific the guns are here yet there is very little crimnal use of them, I don't see a correlation of quantity of guns to use of them in crime. \n\nThat doesn't mean crime is non-existent here. Shortly after moving to this state I was called for jury duty. It was a murder trial. Of interest to this discussion, the man murdered was hunting and had a gun in his hands when the confrontation began. The murders had ready access to guns themselves. Though there were several guns present when the man was murdered, the guns were not used. The man was beaten and kicked to death. You don't need guns to kill. You just need hate mixed with alcohol to dull your self restraint.

no. if it were true, you could bet your bottom dollar that criminals wouldn't commit a crime while the t.v was on!

You don't. So far Canada still has some sense. They don't open their offenders to the possibility of vigilanteism.

Much less so than in most countries.  However, in all countries, there is some bias....Canada is one of the better countries that way in my opinion.

10 to the 47th power.\n\nCrime rate might actually go down if we could get those c**ksuckers to actually catch criminals and stop worrying about people going 5 over.

It depends on the type of activity influenced by Americans!\n\nIf it is Inspirational self help such as Anthony Robbins or Chicken soup for The Soul books or Environmental Consciousness, it's a good thing! However, if it's the destructive lyrics of Rap or loose morals, Canadians should be concerned!

NO! I'm from Ontario, Canada.  Under a certain amount (grams) you will only get a fine instead of going to jail.  People seem to think we're just a bunch of igloo dwelling, gay marrying, beer drinking, potheads who are too polite, and say aboot instead of about.

No.  The incidence of crime can be studied from many angles.  You can count the number of occurrences in a time period.  You can count the number of occurrences in a time period divided by the current population.  In general, a very small population has less crime than a very large population.  A medium sized population will have more crime than a large population simply because of opportunity.  Gun's are tools.  They have little influence on the amount of crime.  They only influence the means of committing crimes.\nAnother idea.  If everyone were trained and equipped with guns, would you be very quick to pull a gun?  The idea has been suggested that if everyone could be trusted with such responsibility, that no one would risk having a multitude of guns pointed at him because he got mad or wanted to commit a crime.  If you are the only one with a gun, it is easy to pull it out and threaten others from a safety point of view.  Down-side; I don't trust everyone with a gun.
