How in gods name is Norway the lowest rate of crime in the world?

ohhh :o maybe america should follow in there weapons laws too

Music has nothing to do with anything? And actually weapon possession is not the answer either. Norway has one of the smaller gaps between the rich and poor, it’s population is not exactly ethnically diverse, and it provides a huge amount of social services. All of that helps with the lower crime rates.

Still, music can over power people, so I’ve always expected violence from Norway

There are not that many peole, income per capita is reasonably distubuted and the wheather it gets very very cold and stayes like that all year round. THATS MY OPPINION

Music can overpower people? Interesting? I suppose you have proof or even a theory around that?

Yes i do actually. The lead singer for a band called Gorgoroth was accused or a few m urders, and even took a different band’s bassist and hung him on a crusifix by barbed wire, and tortured him. and threated to drink the bassist’s blood. So yes, i’d say his music got to him and eventually made him think he should do violent things.

You’re using ONE man who came up with that music in the first place (meaning he was probably already pretty violent in the first place) to prove a theory about all people. Alright then.

Also, John lennon’s music was inspirational and a few people started a peace club.

I might be useing only a few examples, but since you SO smart, you look up what music has done and how powerful it can be…

My fault you dont understand scientific method? Just because a few people have felt inspired by music does not mean music causes any sort of behavior (to prove a causal relationship you need a scientific experiment, not random bits of correlational data that arent even relevant). And I dont the feel the need to research a point you are trying to make. I dont proclaim to have anything more than an average intelligence. It is hardly my fault you’re confusing my presentation of basic facts with me attempting to be condescending. I’ve never been accused of attempting to look smart. I’ve also never had to dumb down what I say to people. Thus I’m going to conclude that this is your issue more than mine.

Wow, okay how about you stick to your sicence, and i’ll stick to what i beilive…

Fair enough
