RE:here in the Great White North (unlike Europe) we prefer to make money honestly. "Ever heard of Enron? Is that why the USA has a higher percentage of its population in jail than any European country, because you are all honest? Please, get a grip on reality."

I was actually talking about Canada when I said "Great White North". The Enron gang won't likely see any jail time for what they did. I do wonder what percentage of lawyers and accountants have spent time in designer pin stripes compared to their European counterparts.

ever thing that the reason Europe has so few people in jail is because the criminals are out in the streets. Drugs, look the other way or legal. Don't want to work, the socialists will take care of you. No wonder.

As for Enron, come on you've got the Russian mafia and the Italian mafia running a ton a things in Europe. The unions in Europe are practically criminal as well. I'll take America and our prison population, versus Europe and the inbreds you have any day!
