Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

The US is ranked 132 out of 163 for safety worldwide. I'd say that actually makes the US one of the least safe countries on earth.
Is it safer than living in a Roman frontier town during the Hun invasion? Probably... but the point is, clearly having the most militarized police and highest prison population doesn't make things safer.
Global Peace Index includes factors like military spending and weapons exports. It's not a measure of how safe it is to live inside the USA.
