		<description><![CDATA[I don&#039;t think gun murders are a good way to look at it. You should be looking at the total murder rate. The UK has no legal guns, the USA does. If somebody get aggravated and wants to kill someone and they&#039;re aloud guns, they&#039;ll use the guns. If there are no guns, then they&#039;ll use something else.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For a start, the ethnic and cultural homogeneity of Japan is an outdated and insufficient explanation. But I think the situation in Okinawa is the factor that contradicts this article the most. Okinawa has a population of some 80,000 Americans, not to mention the rest of the immigrants, totally roughly 7 to 10 percent of the population, whilst mainland is practically ethnically pure. If this is the case then why is the homicide rate of Okinawa below Osaka and par with a few other ethnically pure prefectures. Going by the argument of this article Okinawa should have a much higher crime rate which it does not, cultural/ethical homogeneity explanations alone are not adequate methods of explaining the homicide rate in Japan, although it may play a part, you have to at least integrate theories and conduct a wide thorough analysis before reaching a conclusion.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This article is lacking in any depth or research-based evidence.   Why does Canada and Australia have very low murder rates as they as both multicultural and a city like Toronto has one of the highest levels of multiculturalism in the world.  Also, why is South Korea much higher than Japan as it is a very mono-cultural society. You can look at the homicide rates per capita  in this link.

		<description><![CDATA[Requiring registration to post.  Huh, no wonder no one has posted here.


Anyway, crime correlates closely with the income gap of a country.  This is something you neoliberals hate to hear.  high income gap = high crime.  low income gap = ...wait for it... low crime.  


Japan has a very low income gap.  Surprise surprise.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The real problem with this argument is that over 50% of homicides committed in the US are commited by African-Americans, who are, by and large, NOT recent immigrants. 
 
So no, it has nothing to do with immigration. It has to do with large groups of poor people, as well as other cultural differences. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Your article is a joke. Really. 
 
While there are cultural aspect that may lower the murder rate, take a look at a country like France, with a lot of immigration, many people not integrated at all, quite high criminality rate. And ends up with a homicide rate only 3x the rate of japan... Because guns are prohibited over there too ! 
 
Is it RIAA that pays you or something ?

		<description><![CDATA[so if I give you the most credit possible, your statistics suggest that a quarter of all inmates in federal prisons are non-US citizens. This statistic ignores criminals who were convicted by any court below the federal level, but for the sake of argument, let&#039;s work with it. 
 
You&#039;ve only provided evidence for the idea that between one fifth and one quarter of federal prisoners are not US citizens.  
 
You&#039;ve given no indication to support the idea that a majority of these non-citizen inmates are in prison for murder - let alone, to support the idea that non-citizens who end up in federal prisons are more likely to have committed murder than citizens in federal prisons.. 
 
You&#039;re still falling way short of proving that immigrants are involved in - let alone responsible for - the bulk of intentional homicides in the US.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wow, what an incredibly racist and ignorant statement this article becomes. 
 
DOes the writer not know the history of white America? Uhm...let me help you, because , sweetie, you seem to have forgotten the main reason your argument doesn&#039;t work. 
America is MADE by immigration. Always has been. Without people from outside its shores swarming in like flies, there would be no AMerica.  
Japan has been an isolated island for millennia. There IS no similarity between the two countries in terms of immigration. If you stopped all immigration right now in America, the whole country is still.....FULL OF IMMIGRANTS. One generation, two- even the recent transplants have separate neighbourhoods, ghettoes, stores, areas, even states.  
Have you been to Japan? 
I live here. As an American expat. The low crime rate is down to thousands of years of culture, honour, etiquette and the like. And, while your point about immigrants swarming in would ruin the delicate balance of familial and personal codes of conduct in a society driven by peaceful zen-like duty, there is no way you can claim America could be this way any time soon. Give it another 900 years in the US , without any media, any immigration, any influences from other countries, the same way Japan has formutated itself for over 2000 years, and you may have a winning recipe. 
Until then, you just sound like a right wing racist. 
 
And PS, As I lived in America, with full citizenship rights, I know what it&#039;s like to be an immigrant. I am not really American, but moved there, went through the immigration process and eventtually got my cards. 
Thing is, I am white. And fair complexion with blue eyes. My native language is English. Wanna call me an immigrant? ]]></description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wow, what an incredibly racist and ignorant statement this article becomes. </p>
<p>DOes the writer not know the history of white America? Uhm&#8230;let me help you, because , sweetie, you seem to have forgotten the main reason your argument doesn&#039;t work.<br />
America is MADE by immigration. Always has been. Without people from outside its shores swarming in like flies, there would be no AMerica.<br />
Japan has been an isolated island for millennia. There IS no similarity between the two countries in terms of immigration. If you stopped all immigration right now in America, the whole country is still&#8230;..FULL OF IMMIGRANTS. One generation, two- even the recent transplants have separate neighbourhoods, ghettoes, stores, areas, even states.<br />
Have you been to Japan?<br />

		<description><![CDATA[Blacks are African Americans, not immigrants. I&#039;d go more with the Mexican Mafia and their minions down here in SoCal and TX and AZ. I personally think it works in Japan because they hold human life in higher regard than Americans and the people we so easily welcome to our country.  ]]></description>
