Ok, maybe you are right...
The reason for the sudden drop of crime rates in the U.S. in the 90's is highly debated. But one reason makes most sense, is highly-correlated, but little-known because of the moral issue behind it.
Before the reason, let me say: People generally have a an age range in which they are most likely to commit crimes, especially if they are born to an adverse family environment. This range is most prominently between early teens & late twenties.
Now, the reason: In 1973, the Roe vs. Wade class-action lawsuit was ruled in favor of allowing legalized abortion throughout the U.S. This meant that LESS children were being born in an adverse family environment, & thus there were less people to commit crimes in this unborn generation crime prime.

Slave Zero is a cool game. It should be remade with outstanding graphics & a more interactive environment, as well as more open-endedness.
Henry VIII got married to Anne, the sister of the Duke of Cleves (NOT Anne boleyn), believing from a portrait of her that she was beautiful, but she was, in fact, unattractive. After a successful annulment, she received the title of "The King's Sister".
The name "Benjamin" descended from the Arabic name "Bin Yameen", which literally translates to "Son of Right (as in the direction)". Many names' origins can be found by reading the J's as Y's (I forgot which languages still actually read it thus). These names came via European languages, especially the arabic influence on the Spanish language.
"Joseph" & "Jose (pronounced "Hosé")", for example, come from "Yousif". "Malek", which hasn't changed much, can come from either "Malaak (meaning angel)", or "Melik (King)". "Jonas" comes from "Younis". "Jasmin" comes from "Yasmeen". "Abraham" from "Ibraheem". "Ishmal" from "Isma'eel". "Jacob" from "Ya'qoob". "David" from "Dawood".　?Isaac" from "Ish亜q（pronounced "Is-Haaq")".
"Jesus" from "Isa".
Other names that haven't changed in pronounciation (much) are: Sarah, Dana, Adam, Omar, Sammy, Jamal, Kareem, Jana...

They almost ALWAYS have a triangle somewhere on the sign, even if it's very well-disguised. Seriously... look around and it will surprise you.
