Badmas, You are partially right, Without being prejudice to the nature and type of fight/killings I was talkeing mere statistics. Statistically, the probality of getting killed in US is more than in Nepal. I came to this conclusion by comparing the number of ppl killed in US per/yr and the number of ppl killed in nepal /yr (also keeping in mind the difference in population between thses two countries) By reading bad news in news paper one shoulnt be get carried awaya. This is also my personal experience, we hear/watch about killing/bombing/ fighting in Israel almost everyday.I spent in Israel for three yrs. and I enjoyed my time there. So, it was a comparison of statistics not the type and nature of killings. Anyway thank you, my friend, for you comments. cheers, Enjoy the life
