VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997.

We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

If I'm calculating properly (12,000/(pop/100,000)) then it only adds 4.2 murders per capita to the US total, still giving the Netherlands a higher total.

By the way, where did you get that number? I don't remember you ever posting it even though I've asked a few times.
