Depends on what you define “violence” as. Do you include “violence” as shanking a kid for his lunch money and exclude conflicts between empires which results in the deaths of millions or reckless driving in the suburbs.
(There’s actually a 13-1 ratio of dying in the suburbs of a car accident than dying in the city of a murder). You can’t pepper spray a car.

Anyway, I would take anything he says with a grain of salt.

“The author declared a national holiday for England, he criticised Scottish, Irish and Welsh nationalisms describing these nations as “feeble little countries”. In the same context, he described England as a “formerly great” nation”

So.. how many of you other freepers are of Irish, Scots or Welsh ancestry?

Furthermore, I also want to be on record quoting Ayn Rand.

“Racism is the lowest, most crudely primitive form of collectivism. It is the notion of ascribing moral, social or political significance to a man’s genetic lineage—the notion that a man’s intellectual and characterological traits are produced and transmitted by his internal body chemistry. Which means, in practice, that a man is to be judged, not by his own character and actions, but by the characters and actions of a collective of ancestor”
