The Behaviour Of Americans Overseas

Comment from a reader on "Let Former US Navy Men Run Subic?":

I get so tired of all of these oblique references to the Subic Rape case. It's as if you think Americans quest is to conquer lands and rape the women. Lets do a simple test.

How many Filipinos and other nationalities are in American Jails, and how many Americans are in the jails of the corresponding country? I think you will find that Americans are by far more law abiding when in foreign lands than are foreigners when in America. Check it out.

And try not to stereotype because it shows your racist ignorance.

[The Subic Bulletin] Americans in other countries such as the Philippines can afford to pay off the Police before the case even gets filed to court, foreigners in America do not get the same chance, so basing your argument on Jail statistics may not be representative of behaviour of the relative groups outside of their own country, but we get your point.
