Another Gaming Death in South Korea

[kandrathe]

Just think if America traded cultures with S Korea we could have 15000 game related deaths a year instead of gun related.  I have to admit i have a small bit of awkward respect for anyone that dies playing a game.

Each year in the US 8.7 people die per 1000, of those .02 are killed by firearms, another .02 are murdered by other means, while .155 are killed in automobile accidents, and 3.22 die from cancer. I'm offering a little perspective.

From my prior analysis of gun violence in my nearby large city, the bulk of the handful of murders each year are either gang/drug turf battles, or domestic violence (usually related to substance abuse). My proposition is that violence in general in our society is related to poverty and the bad choice of crime or drugs(either using or selling) as an escape from poverty.

The grass will be greener in the other nations statistics as long as there is no economic draught, but when 23 million hungry North Koreans stampede southward I'll be glad to be living here by the Canadians.
