I've never even seen a mugging, and i use to take public transports every day for years. yay for strict gun policies ?! No. Just look at all the safe US counties with extremely high gun ownership rates. Look at countries like Mexico with tight gun control but extremely high crime rates. Just because a lot of Europe has low crime rates and gun control does not mean there is causation. | ||

It's very easy to get a weapon here. You get a license, and you buy yourself a shotgun / rifle / crossbow / anything that isn't automatic or a pistol. If you want a gun and have a reason for it, then you can get one in a few weeks. In other words, if you live in the countryside, getting a gun is easy. Nearly all UK homicides are knife related, in glasgow / london / birmingham, | ||

Anything can happen anywhere, and you have to be careful. But just visiting a city on this list doesn't mean you'll come back home dead. | ||

This reads much more as a list of top 50 most dangerous cities in North America, with some token SA thrown in... | ||

At the end of the day, they have all seen ghosts and that's that. | ||

Someone says they have seen a ghost, another guy comes along with a story about two ghosts, and then a third guy shows up with a story about flirting with a hot girl ghost that ended up raping him (whoo hoo! count me in). At the end of the day, they have all seen ghosts and that's that. I have no idea what this analogy means but it sounds cool. | ||

Also I was thinking "Ah so this must be this years list" and this thread was only posted 4 months ago O_O my perception of time is fucked up;p | ||

Might want to check your geography again.... many of these are central american countries that you could argue to north, south, or neither america. Plus Columbia, Venezuela, and Brazil are all in South America and make the list very frequently. In fact, if Mexico didnt have so many dangerous cities, there would actually be more in south america. | ||

There is probably a population cutoff for consideration. Many places are so violent as to be uninhabited, The country of Sudan just came out of a horrific genocide for example. Plus many of the communist countries like China don't make statistics public. So its not an accurate portrayal of the world. Our freedom in the americas is ironically what shows us to be so violent. | ||

The drug traffic certainly adds to it, but I think it's just too easy to blame it all on drugs. There seems to be something really wrong with andean and central american culture, but I can't really say what it is. | ||

There seems to be something really wrong with andean and central american culture, but I can't really say what it is. It doesn't count as murder if the government does it, or if there is no government in the first place. And poverty is what's wrong. edit: poverty with very weak and ineffective governments | ||
