    Hmmmmmm.....

    Interesting that Minneapolis is on the list. I live in the 'burbs, but I've never felt that this was a dangerous place or anything.

    Also, this is interesting.

    Likewise, Anchorage, Alaska, and Abilene, Texas, which are not among the cities with the most overall crime, still had the second- and third-highest rates of forcible rapes in 2009, behind No. 1 Minneapolis.

    I didn't know that was a problem here, and I am unaware of anyone that has had that happen. Yes, yes, I know there are a lot of people here, but I haven't even heard of a friend of a friend or any such.

    Surprised Atlanta is that far up on the list when Washington DC isn't there. Miami I can understand they appear to drink too much which may lead to violent crimes.

    Not in the world, was just kidding but in Australia, that's what they say anyway. There was even an ad for Dexter with him waiting for a flight toIt's only a small place though and I think that's why but we have had some pretty horrific murders. Heres the ad:

    Here's a bit of our history too:
    http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/seri ... ses_1.html

    Oh my gosh! Which reminds me, my friend saw a young girl nearly pulled into a car the other day! She screamed and the bloke took off, luckily. She called the cops but they reckon there is nothing they can do because he didn't actually take her!!!!!!!!!! What a world hey? :?

    Verona??? it's all surmountable
    Dublin 23.08.06 "The beauty of Ireland, right there!"
    Wembley? We all believe!
    Copenhagen?? your light made us stars
    Chicago 07? And love
    What a different life
    Had I not found this love with you

    I noticed that people in NYC were a lot nicer than people in Vancouver when I was there in 2005. It was kind of scary but I'm guessing it had to do with some construction that went on in 2001...


    im not gonna go ballistic over the construction comment...but that wasn't too cool

    Kind of hard to be PC when it comes to that topic. It was a tragedy and seemed to make people in that city nicer.

    I was on 85th st day of, years before, and years after. New Yorkers haven't changed, they were always that way.
