Richard, you just proved your ignorance again. Bali is in Indonesia. And YES, in terms of violence, gangs, etc. the US is not a safe country. We live in an upper class safe area, however there have still been times when strange people knocked on the door or tried to break in. My parents never feel safe to let me out alone late at night, and neither do I. If you've ever been to the gulf states like UAE, or Bahrain, etc. people don't even lock their house doors ever. The crime rate there is practically 0. I'm not saying that they are safe in every way, but at a living/letting your kids out at night/leaving your doors open/crime rate, they are extrememly safe.
YES I AM IGNORANT BUT MY POINT WAS THAT THE AUSSIES THAT WENT TO BALI THOUGHT THEY WERE SAFE THERE.......YOU HAVE SUCH A LITERAL INTERPRETATION OF WHAT I SAY YOUR MAKE ME CHUCKLE MY EFFING ARSE OFF. HAVE YOU BEEN TO THE U.S.? OR DID YOU DRIVE THRU AND HAVE THE PARANOIA THAT MAKES YOU LOCK YOUR DOORS OF YOUR CAR AND BE SO CONSUMED WITH YOUR PERSONAL SAFETY.

THE REASON THE CRIME RATE IN THE GULF STATES IS SO LOW IS BECAUSE OF THE BARBARIC LAWS AND PENALTIES THAT EXIST IN THE AREA.......WHAT'S UP WITH THE PEOPLE WITH ONLY THEIR LEFT HANDS? YEAH THEY WERE STEALING AND WERE SUBJECTED TO AMPUTATION OF THAT LIMB , THEREFORE THEY LIVE LIFE USING THEIR LEFT HAND, WHICH IS "ONLY" USED FOR PERSONAL HYGIENE, TO FEED THEMSELVES......

WHAT ABOUT THE PENALTIES FOR INFIDELITY, STONING A WOMAN TO DEATH? YOU TALK ABOUT THE EFFED UP AMERICAN WAY BUT IF YOU PUT THE MICROSCOPE TO THE MIDDLE EAST AREA I WOULD FIGURE YOU WOULD HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE LAWS THAT PREVENT WOMEN FROM BEING TREATED LIKE GARBAGE.

TRY AGAIN.
