Isn't that crazy, somebody breaks into my appartment and steals my *change*... nothing else, just the change from the change jar and a few coins on top of my bookshelf... they didn't even take the jar itself! Very odd criminals here... Don't forget

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Not sure. I mean, don't get me wrong, there's lots of crime, but it seems to be a fraction of what you guys have down there (I have lots of family in Michigan and other parts of the US). People here bitch but don't do much about it, down there, they'll kick your ass because they can</div>

I honestly have no idea what it was. It has given Americans crazy ideas like "I hold this gun to protect me and my loved ones from evil". Now to me that sounds absolutely absurd and unbelievable to the point in which it is crazy, but I have spok
