Thank you for this knowledge, ThePunisher. I shall now make it my sole purpose in life to make sure every single country has an equal incarceration rate. I may be some time...
Where there is people, there is crime, and U.S has the most people in the world probably...

I'd take a high incarceration rate over letting murderers walk out after a year, as is the custom in Europe.
China and India have less cops per citizen meaning less statistical crime compared to other places such as Australia which is full of convicts and has a ridiculously high ratio in comparison.

What
Only one year imprisonment for murder.

Only one year imprisonment for murder.
What would be the punishment if you murder someone in singapore? They take littering way too seriously so I can only Imagine the punishment for murder.
Littering is a serious crime.
People should be punished for it.
People should be punished for it.
People should be forced to eat whatever they have littered.
What if someone accidentally shoots in the park?
That's not how the law works, dh. For example, just because littering is non-punishable in India doesn't mean that the Indian sentence for homicide is necessarily any more lenient then in Australia, where littering is a punishable offence.

It doesn't, but even if it did it's "incarceration rate"; how many people are incarcerated, in this case, per 100,000. The population of the country is pretty much irrelevant (I say pretty much because if, for example, a country had just ten citizens and one was incarcerated the incarceration rate would be 10,000 per 100,000).

Re: Yeoldetoast and Enchilado
There were approximately 165,000 convicts sent to Australia all up, over a period of 80 years from 1788 to 1868. (1)
Our first free settlers rocked up in 1793. Between 1793 and 1900, at least 900,000 free immigrants arrived in Australia. (2)
By 1889, Australia had over 3,000,000 people living in it.
Between 1901 and 2000, more then 5,600,000 legal immigrants arrived in Australia. (3)
As of today, Australian population is approximated to be 22,709,550 (4)
So from the first free settler in 1793 'til 2000, about 7,000,000 free immigrants have arrived in Australia; That's approximately 42 free immigrants to every 1 convict... so is Australia full of convicts? I'll leave you to decide.

I actually find it sad people still assume Aussy is still a nation of criminals and rat finks because of how it was orginally colonised and the worst thing is Aussy seems to feel that way too. They appear over zealous to prove they are good at everything they try and this seems to stem from an inbuilt and generational lack of esteem and over developed sense of "we are not still bad" giving the impression they still have something to prove because of their history.
I mean what actually defined a criminal in those days - during the Highland clearances if you wore Tartan or had a patch of it on your person (part of your actual heritage for so many generations you were born with tartan skin almost heh) you were jailed or killed or deported as a criminal - it may have been an offence to steal to feed your family - I find it more of an offensive to let people die from lack of sustanance when your forests were filled with food just running around begging to get in someones belly.
Is it an offence to fight and kill to protect your family when some snot nosed Laird was wanting to have his way with your new wife before you did, because he passed a law saying he could, or maybe he wanted your land so he trumped up charges to get rid of you and get it. Sure there was those that were guilty as sin, but blanket judgement is totally wrong. I dont see degrees of sin - its either black OR white, right or wrong - no in between, but I can understand why people broke laws back then, they were made by those with power and meant to subjugate and exploit the weak.
Its a shame people still arent taken on face value and not prejudged because of something that happened in the past, I noticed this when I was overseas last year, if people thought I was Australian I was treated vastly different to if they thought I was a New Zealander. But the thing is that when I needed help it was without fail the aussie tourists that stood up and offered it - noone else!

@MsDink So were you treated better when people thought you were New zelander and worse if people thought you were australian.
/me drops several asteroids on ThePunisher
Aw, well. Tal'll do that. But it will actually do something.
BTW, Love your tagline, Predisher. "Religious people are retarded". Does that mean you're retarded cause you worship Batista?

Huh. I never noticed "religious" was spelled wrong in his tagline. You should change that, Predator...
The DN's trash bin is bursting full of america!! Strange to think about? Yes. Yes it is.
"Ay-Dollar-Dollar" is part of the lyrics of a song by Aloe Blacc.
He doesn't worship Batista, he just wants to Æ’uck him.

I'm curious, in what ways did their treatment differ if they thought you were Australian as opposed to a New Zealander?
Dude,we do get punished for littering.But our punishments are nowhere near as bad as Singapores.
Attitude mostly Striker, changed noticeably when they said oh you are NZ, thought u were Australian 
Same in plenty of places. You'll get treated much better in Australia if you say your Scottish rather than English.
I'm guessing their attitude improved? (sort of why some Americans pretend they're Canadian when traveling abroad)
I've never noticed it striker.
Psh, if I ever traveled to some other place, I'd just say I was from Gallifry.
Yes improved by a lot, although I dont know why they do that - silly really!
Oh and don't worry hehe we can usually tell if you are an American or Canadian
but if you think it helps... *giggles*

Considering I lived in Canada a while, I could easily fake either.
And as I have posted in another threads about meeting Australians traveling abroad, there's a reason for that.

ohhh so you are a multilingual American - awesome! you should go far

@ Striker: Ahhh... saying about Australians what Punisher says about Americans? Classy.
Catches the spaz attack.
@schnapper: Ahh... forgot that thread and what I said in it and then trying to insult me because you didn't understand what I was saying? Kind of stupid.
@ Striker: Not to worry; I seem to remember something along those lines popping up about two years ago-ish, but I couldn't find it either. I also seem to remember that being said in jest i.e. before TDN's "Flaming era".
