Many of your posts, and not just in this thread, seem to be concerned about violence in the US. It makes it seem like you think the country is some version of Road Warriors. It's not. It's great - everywhere I've gone in the US has been nice. Just know that, like everywhere around the world, some of the big cities have poor populations where crime is elevated - the "inner city" as it were. That said, in Boston, for example, you can be in a slightly scary area, then drive 2 miles and be in a rich, "safe" area. And the chances of being involved in a violent crime are slim. Don't worry so much.

If you've read so many of her posts you should know by now that she's considering moving to the US. Wouldn't you want to know all the details before deciding where to live if you were to move across the Atlantic?

People just worry about different things for different areas. Seems to me that many people moving to Sweden worry about the cold, and even though I don't think it's that bad (and even if it is you can always put clothes on) it still is something that people worry about. I don't think these kind of worries should be taken as an insult, but more as an interest, really.
