    Oh, that's just great, another spoiled brat crying out for attention, causing the possibility of racial riots in the meantime.

    Hmmm, single mother. Publicity. Press release. Money?

    Just a thought.

    I'm very skeptical now. No one can come to her aid if it never actually happened. The other thing I find strange is that they are referring to people who are anti-Semetic as being racist, which really isn't true. Jewish describes both an ethnicity, and a religion, but not a race. There are Jews of many different races.

    A local newsstation claimed that the woman has allready admitted that she made up the whole thing. So I guess there's no trouble in "utopia" after all. :D

    Well I was being sarcastic of course. There's a lot of trouble in Europe sure, and it's not like Europe has any less problems than America, but I just found it ironic than when someone clearly starts a thread in order to show that there are problems here in Europe too the news that was given actually turns out to be false. :p

    Well, i see that a little different. There's more than 11.000 deaths in the US because of gunfire each year, even if you put all victims of gunfire from all European countries together, you don't even get to half those numbers.

    We're definitely far from being Utopia, but our streets are a lot safer than those in the US.

    Numbers don't lie.

    Well that might be true but we have other problems here. In Finland I have lately got very angry at our ineffective yet expensive healthcare system which really ignores the patients, therefore I have stopped using the public (and free) healthcare and moved to private care which is very expensive and I can barely afford.

    Joacquin, that test you mentioned, put someone on the street to test who helped him, Michael Moore also did it. One in Paris, one in New Yorkm and one in Ottawa. The one in Ottawa was helped first, but it took a good 28 minutes.
