This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

But you're right, homicide rate is a great indicator of violence in society. London is much more densely populated and interconnected while Canada has lots of places to hide bodies.
