Purjo: Maybe your thieves only steal for a living, but here in the US, thrillkilling is quickly becoming the main reason for committing crimes. Until you live in such a society, I feel it is an ignorant assumption on your part to presume what is "good" for us, based on your limited experiences in a very different land. Also (and please correct me if I am wrong), I understand that in order to pay for such "restrictive" legislation and its enforcement, your taxes are so high in Sweden that more and more people are getting on welfare because it is pointless to work, thus destroying the backbone of the working class in an attempt to create a socialist utopia? Does your government still give out free needles to drug addicts?
