    Sweden isn't supposed to be even that close to on par with the US - which is the actual point.

      It was the "progs" that made it "alright" in the first place. And it remains "alright" now...up near the top of the 'Human Development Index' and the 'Happiness Index' along with the other more secular, welfare orientated countries of the world such as Norway, Finland, Australia, The Netherlands and Denmark.

        So you're saying the argument of the US conservatives in this thread boils down to: "Sweden and its progressive policies have resulted in it doing only a mere 10x better than the US, therefore progressivism has failed"?

          Going to 3rd world status, you mean!

              Funny how the most progressive areas of the US are filled with crime where the more consertive areas are not. Yet again, Starlight has no clue what he’s talking about.

                Here's one source, albeit not as recent.

                "In fact, a staggering 80% of gun homicides are gang-related. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), gang homicides accounted for roughly 8,900 of 11,100 gun murders in both 2010 and 2011."

                8,900 murders per year averages out to 24 per day, or one per hour, so if the murders were evenly distributed then the 40th would occur circa 4:30pm on January 2nd.
