I didn't mean that. We are actually a relative safe place to live in, you can pretty much ensure a good childhood here.
(good) = no school shootings, easy life to grow up, not much exam difficulty, challenge only starts after high school.
(bad) = increasing deterioration of government efforts to stabilize citizen troubles and wants, destability in constant government shifting policies, absolution and loyalty faction towards parties involving in political aspects.
So as you can see, our politics are on the notch of distaste, but it can be cured, provided there is incentive.
The whole thing about what I said is that despite prolonged operations to curb illegal activities, you can't really do it. The same as the world actually and I am not surprised to say the U.S. leads second compared with the likes of likely...Middle east, probably.
It is simple, the more you censure people's freedom in acquiring one thing, the more they are curious to acquire it.
Many parties rely on this note alone to answer to the wants and needs of those who wanted the acquisition.
In this case, we are talking about money, money laundering, drugs, ponzi schemes, illegal modifications on motorcycles. Because there is constant talk about taking these away, people will just seek other gateways to acquire them. I am sure despite the fact drugs are illegal in America, you can pretty much get it on the street if you know where.
In a way, I say America is more rampant with its illegal activities than here. Here, we do it under the cover, or in some cases, hiding in plain sight. (High schools at one point used to be gateways, it is the last place they will check, so you pretty much predict what is coming from.)
I suppose that is also because high schools like mine are run by governments, I believe it stems from the thought that anything run by the government cannot be corrupted enough to run illegal activities, too bad it is vice versa.
