B3TA fixes the worldMoon Monkey says: Turn into Jeremy Clarkson for a moment, and tell us about the things that are so obviously wrong with the world, and how they should be fixed. Extra points for ludicrous over-simplification, blatant mis-representation, and humourous knob-gags.

England vs NorwayGreat Britain:
88,749 Square Miles, population 60,000,000+. Or, 277 people per square kilometre.
$35,125 per capita GDP
Norway:
148,747 Square Miles, population 4.9 Million. Or, 12.5 people per square kilometre.
$79,949 per capita GDP
So, Norway has under 1/10th of the population, double the national income per head and nearly twice the land mass. I think that might have something to do with the crime rates - the populace is under less pressure economically, geographically and socially than the UK. They can afford to be lenient on criminals because they will only have about five of them a year and have twice the governmental budget available to play at nurturing them.
If you want to argue based on facts, you might like to do some actual research first.
