In your hometowns....

[Jooglae]

Because it sure isn't where I live...

[Guttorm]

Most city's in norway are safe... Even oslo.

Where do you live?

[Salty Dog]

my town is about 15-20 minutes south of boston.....every once in a while a store will get robbed, or someone will get mugged or soemthing, but the worst problem we have is the drug problem.

[Seraphim]

Its pretty safe in my city, except for the north side. Downtown is iffy...lots of bums and drunks there. But anywhere else is safe. Only time I'll be at risk out in the middle of the night is when Im on my run...but Im sure I can out run all them muggers. Either that or Im on a bike or driving.

[perdurabo]

In my hometown it's safe but if you dont go to dark places or so...
We had gunshooting in court (few granades blew too), few cars get blown up and stuff but its safe in night.

[Haiw]

netherlands = totally safe at night.... whether i'm in the city or out in the country in the middle of nowhere, driving around on a bike at 4 am or so is no problem woot

[Jack Mehoff]

I often go out for a jog between 9pm-10pm on the street of Salt Lake without any fear. Beside, why would anybody want to mess with Jack :D?

[Jooglae]

Good for you people....A drunk man was mugged and stabbed to death just two blocks away from my apartment two nights ago, and a high school girl killed herself by falling off a 20-story apartment last night.

I gotta get out of this fxxxing town soon and find a home somewhere in Kwacheon.

[Trigger]

It's safe to walk around at night where I live, but you do have to watch your step. Whenever I wander the streets at night, I'm constantly stumbling over all the fat bastards who have collapsed from O.D.'ing on McDonalds and Milwaukee's Best Ice Light. Then there are the riots that sometimes erupt at Burger King. One time they ran out of bacon and Swiss cheese and the fatties started a stampede...several children were trampled to death. I guess it's better to go out that way rather than live to a ripe old 35 and die on the operating table undergoing angioplasty...

[Salty Dog]

trigger rofl , i was in a pellet gun shootout, they opened fire on us when my friend leaned out the window and yelled "nice hotwheels ****ers!", and it was dark and they opened fire, (didn't know they had pellet guns because we couldn't see) i took one in the arm, and my friends windows were shot out. that's about as violent as it gets here.

obesity is an american epidemic. 99.9% of all americans are morbidly obese. :lol:

[Salty Dog]

ummm i think you have your figures wrong, word on the street is 100% of americans are morbidly obese!

[Seoulstriker]

ummm i think you have your figures wrong, word on the street is 100% of americans are morbidly obese!

noooooooo. you have the .1 percent of citizens immigrating from France who are perfectly slim. :P

[Salty Dog]

rofl

[Trigger]

Actually it's 125%. Our flab is spilling over the borders of Canada and Mexico. We're actually forcing them to become fat bastards too. Kind of a 'Borg' lardass assimilation effect. Resistance is (burp) futile.

[Seraphim]

ummm i think you have your figures wrong, word on the street is 100% of americans are morbidly obese!

noooooooo. you have the .1 percent of citizens immigrating from France who are perfectly slim. :P

LoL

That was actually quite funny.

[Dalleer]

Yes, very damn safe in here. You could piss in the sidewalks and nobody would notice...umm...yes.

The biggest risk to the national security of this town has to be drunken people on bicycles, respectively.

[Jack Mehoff]

I'm more afraid of hot and horny LDS(Mormon) girls rape me when i jog on the street at night

[UoUo]

pretty safe to walk in my city in the midlle of the night.

[California Joe]

Then I'm walking in Memphis
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel.....

[StarvingStudent47]

Eugene Oregon: Yes, very safe. We've got too many damned hippies but very few violent criminals.

[Brandon]

I used to think it was safe around here. Im about an hour out of Ottawa. Lately there has been a disturbing string or abductions/attempts in town. I guess for a guy it may be alright to walk alone, but definately not girls. I dont let my girlfriend walk by herself at night, unless she is walking our slightly aggressive german sheppard. Ya never know. Sick f***ers!

[wholagun]

Canada is safe for the most part. Big cities like Tortono, Montreal, and Vancouver (hooker and drug capital of Canada) can be dangerous. But its Canada, we are a peace loving friendly nation.. eh

[IronHeart_26]

Well.......the deer, squirrels, possums, coons, armadillos,and rabbits haven't mugged me yet when I walk around at night, so I guess it's still safe around here. :)

[JiJoMacLE45]

Put it this way, if it was, I'd be out of a job.

[GLax]

its safe around me, i live in the middle of nowhere afterall. but if you go into town its fairly safe depending on where you go...

[EvanL]

Im originally from Ottawa and its pretty safe over there although you do have to watch where you go at night because there are still alot of muggings and stuff. Most of it is gang-related. But now i live in NYC. In NYC as long as you know where the **** your going and how the **** you gonna get there, then you can usually avoid the bad areas. In my neighbourhood theres alot of muggings and even some shooting, but ive never been witness to any. And in my life only once did someone try to mug me and they slipped and fell when they jumped out at me and i just walked away. Stupid ****ers. :)

[...]

Anyone ever been to Detroit? I grew up a few minutes from there.

[Andyman]

you could rob a bank in the town where i live and i guarantee you would get away scot free. I live in a suburban town about 1 hr west of Toronto, it is rediculously safe. When there is a car accident the whole town of 20,000 or so knows about it

:lol: same here....for example a murder or even a car accident is always national news :)

[usa320]

For the most part yes, though there are areas you dont go unless you got something larger than a .22.

p-)
And no seol, im not talking **** size.

[Midtown]

I go running, or skating at night. Once about a year ago, I was jogging by these shady apartments not to far from my house, and some little wanna be gangsta **** comes over to me, says he has a knife, and tells me to give him my wallet. okay. I dont jog with anything but my house key, (and a airsoft pistol on the inside of my leg now) but then I didnt have that, I started laughing and told him to **** off, he tried to get in my face, and my 8 years of hockey kicked in, I hit the kid in the mouth so hard I figure I had to have knocked out at least 5 teeth. ****er ran away screaming. I dont claim to be tough, but I dont take **** from people unless not givin another choice. But GOD that felt good to pop that kid.
(that was one of 4 times I've had people try to rob me)
0 successfull attempts so far.

[California Joe]

I'm gonna cut you next time esse.... :P

Did you really think that would deter them? haha

Hey, when I was in Finland people had a habit of getting all steamed up and beating one another with sticks.

[Russian Texan]

I live in the very nice neighborhood in south Houston and it is very quiet here, although I have heard that sometimes kids bikes get stolen if left in the frontyard. BORING!!!!! Especially now when I got M6 streamlight for my Springfield, so I almost feel like going to innercity and yelling: BRING IT ON!!! :lol:

[Dalleer]

Hey, when I was in Finland people had a habit of getting all steamed up and beating one another with sticks.

Let me guess, you were in a Sauna?

Or perhaps in a hockey match? since that's the only thing they seem to do there these days...


Then again, the streets of Oulu have its fair share of steamed up people that beat each other up with sticks, I'm sure.

[Beowulf]

Anyone ever been to Detroit? I grew up a few minutes from there.
sheet, you ain't never seen a mile road south of ten.......

[NcDeuce]

Well, I'm pretty sure all cities and towns have 'safe spots' and 'non-safe spots'.

But don't walk onto someone's private property unwelcome...down here, everyone owns guns, four-wheelers, very large & mean dogs, and a big friend named Bubba.

[California Joe]

Beowulf is Eminem. That's sooooooooooo cool.


"I'm sorry mama........."

[mocking_loudly_died]

Safe.

Though my neighbour had a shoot out with the cops this year.

He lost.

:D

[Schuster]

Canada is safe for the most part. Big cities like Tortono, Montreal, and Vancouver (hooker and drug capital of Canada) can be dangerous. But its Canada, we are a peace loving friendly nation.. eh

Vancouver isnt all bad. only east vancouver really.

[StarvingStudent47]

Ya never know. Sick f***ers!

Yeah, this is an important point. I don't think young women should walk alone at night in ANY town. This isn't patriarchy or paternalism, it's just good self-defense strategy. Even in the quietest of towns, where nobody gets mugged, women get raped.

[jlanni]

I'm more afraid of hot and horny LDS(Mormon) girls rape me when i jog on the street at night


haha thats hilarious... alot of them are hot ...but i doubt youll ahve that problem...

[ShotOver]

Claremont, Western Australia.

Just up the road from the S.A.S.R Base.

Not the best place to walk around at night, if you go down into the town you will quite possibly either be:

a) "Ganked" a.k.a Mugged, by the local wiggers.
b) Beat up by drunks (A lot of pubs down there)
c) Kidnapped, raped and killed

We had about 7 blonde girls taken a couple of years ago, never found the killer.

Can't wait to move to somewhere else.

[ßå$tĮТHÏ¿ð]

In my town of Cedar its pretty safe unless your a nobody..Everyone knows me so I can walk were-ever when-ever and nothing happens. I still carry a .177 8 shot co2 crosman pistol and laser aim(I use hollow point pellets) were ever I go when I'm out at night though...better to have one then be in a situation when i need it and I dont have it.

[Reaper171]

Not unless I am armed...


NECRO

On this date I was in San Diego taking the most tonnage girl I've ever met out on a "night on the town" before I flew out to Korea... (She was so heavy... she busted the shocks on the front and back passenger side of my car.... AND I got muscle failure lifting her legs onto my shoulders later that night! Good 400+ #s)

So, on this date, where/what were you up to?

[Bushranger]

No worries at all

[Stormz_STA]

Damn, that's really necroposting extraordinaire.

[ShotOver]

I can't remember 2003, so obviously I wasn't up to anything awesome. I think I was still in Highschool, I actually wouldn't be surprised if I was.

[PEMM]

Yeah, its completely OK to crawl home at 4am if you cant walk.

Once i lost my cell phone here. Someone found it, called my friend and i got it back in some 40 minutes.

But there is something thats not safe here, bicycles. All those drunks in 4am will think in middle of the night that "it would be easier to cycle home". So they pick up the first they get.

[Fisker]

Perfectly safe. There used to be a "frisk search zone" in this town (where the police could search you or your car without evidence/probable cause) because there were (too many) guns and knives in the night life. But these days you can go a week without seeing a single police officer.

AFAIK there aren't any bikers (Hell's Angel's, Bandidos) or any immigrant gangs to speak of here, so (serious) violence is getting rare. But of course if you go to a night club you might risk slap around from one of the many farmers/rednecks/hillbillies, whatever you want to call them...

[Fargin]

Just hit thirty I was starting my deroute, beginning with the total destruction of a long relationship with a wonderful woman, who thought I was great. My life has been a natural catastrophe on a rollercoaster for the durration on my mp.net membership, which ironically has been only thing constant and painless in my existence.

All in all, 2003 was a good year.

Que?

But can you walk safely on your deroute? :)

[Fargin]

This thread is from 2003.

[Fisker]

Yeah, I found out....

[brokenclog]

My hometown is Amsterdam. Sure, there's lots of crime but I always felt perfectly safe there. Just stay the hell away from the red light district at night (and the Damrak at all times) and you'll be fine.

On a funny note, I now live in this tiny suburban shytehole, and it is surely scarier....

[LineDoggie]

Kings Park LI, right between 2 state Parks, nice, quiet, no crime (last incident was some graffiti on a truck)

[Billy No Mates]

Not unless I am armed...


So, on this date, where/what were you up to?

Sharing a dingy flat and kebabs with a barely functioning alcholic on Lower Clapton Rd,East London which was still making headlines as "Murder Mile" in the UK press at the time it was a complete and utter sh!thole .

[shermbodius]

SW Washington, totally safe.

[Corrupt]

Eeerm. It would depend where. I'd feel pretty safe in the city centre, or the route home. There are some areas I would avoid though, which are known drug and crime filled areas.

[tercio67]

Worst that can happen at night where I live is stepping in horse manure.

[SoftLion]

In my town of Cedar its pretty safe unless your a nobody..Everyone knows me so I can walk were-ever when-ever and nothing happens.

Well, I lol'ed.

[California Joe]

I have a better chance running into a pack of coyotes or a black bear than a mugger...

[whiskey]

north of munich, completly save, guess iam the worst guy who lives there ;)

[Corrupt]

I have a better chance running into a pack of coyotes or a black bear than a mugger...

I'm pretty sure running into a bear qualifies as "not safe" ;)

[California Joe]

Tomahawk...Never leave home without it.

[Fargin]

Speaks volumes that you naturally assume the color of the bear mauling you would be black.

[California Joe]

I'm a bear racist...

[tluassa]

Only one single incident involving some punches with "multiculturally enriching" folks in the last 10 years, so I guess my city is save at night. One thing you have to look out for is bored policemen. I once woke up in a concrete cell just for "strolling around" and falling down some stairs and puking on trees and stuff . (admittedly like a drunken zombie and after drinking bottles of liquor the whole night) :)

[ronnieraygun]

Is it safe to stroll all by yourself, in the middle of the night, in your towns?


Hmm...I usually bike at night, as walking leads to conversations with strangers. I don't like strangers in my neighborhood.

The last time I was out, I got eyeballed and scoffed at by three prostitutes. There is usually some guy saying "I got that weed, playa" if I am too slow around certain corners. Some guy called me a "popcorny azzed biatch" because I would not give him money. Some kid told me I had a nice bike, then told me "step to me if you want that beef, playa" and that I was a "biatch neega."

My block is pretty good. I walk around the alley with a baseball bat for the heck of it and my neighbors have informed me that if they see trouble on our block, they will "step up like a man and put a hot one in anyone that messes with mine."

It sounds worse than it is. The key to having balance among such filth is to have equally weird neighbors on the other side of the fence. We live next to a compound of jehovah's witnesses who report the slightest infraction or nuisance to the city and there is someone down the alley who informed me she will "call the police on anyone with an Obama sticker."

[Createdeemcee]

Robberys and muggings are a daily event in ol htown her. Heroin deaths up by 20%, Robberys up 20%. Caught a guy robbing a lady the other day too in front of my house. Getting Bad out there!

[Anthony91]

Snohomish, Washington

Ask me this question just 5 or 6 years ago, and I would have given you a definite "fvck yeah!" Nowadays, I don't even like driving through my town; my hometown went to **** real fast...

[Roy Batty]

I live in a small Canadian town (4000 people). Everyone in town is Army or a retiree....Pretty safe here...lol

[JKD]

I'm with CJ, more worried about the wildlife than muggers.

[Roy Batty]

Both my wife and I have stumbled across bears and coyotes while out running in this town.

[hulaku]

In my hometown of Srinagar, Kashmir I guess its OK to take a stroll because most of the Jihadis are asleep by then and wouldn't try and shoot me for being a (drunk) Kafir .

but where I stay right now no problemo, I can do whatever **** I wanna do and nobody would ask me anything.

Oh the pleasures of living in a 3rd world country.

[FrankBooth0]

Probably not but still here.

[Violet Fashion by Mindy]

It's Australia. A chick got raped the other night. Whole world has come crashing down.

[SkyUS]

Back in Poland I lived in a small town. Population about 30k. yeah it was pretty safe to stroll around. There was one neighborhood that I always avoided though. It was known to be resided by the poorest and most criminals. Though in a daylight it was still safe to walk through it.

Now I live in New York City, ( Brooklyn). I live between two neighborhoods, that are pretty safe. They are full of hipsters, so most you will be just assaulted with their dreadful sense of fashion of stupidity. Cafes are open till late in the night( or morning to be more technical). There are occasional shootings that get reported in the local newspaper, but it seems that it's either related to some gang activity that happens to seep into the edges of the neighborhood.

Most parts of Manhattan are pretty safe too. I am weary of going into Chinatown and other dodgy neighborhoods such as Harlem and the borough of Bronx.

[custodes]

I said yes, it is safe. For you mundanes anyway.

[Troubadour]

I am gonna go with a wildcard here and say yes, Detroit is probably not safe.

Neither is the place I actually live "Ypsilanti", I have had an attempted mugging there. Fortunately, they aren't scary enough of street pirates to rob you if you try and resist in any way.

[Wally1967]

I live in a country town pop 2000 and 400kms to nearest big smoke.

[Fuschimuschi]

Yes and that even though I live in one of the "seedy" parts of town (high unemployement, lot of poor immigrants etc...).

[Bro Jangles]

I feel safe walking thru dowtown Spokane, ****faced, at night.

[Euroamerican]

I'm more afraid of hot and horny LDS(Mormon) girls rape me when i jog on the street at night

What are you, some handsome Returned Missionary?!

[Euroamerican]

Very safe, but some random drunk tried to come in my front door about two nights ago at 2 AM to borrow my phone. I woke up hearing the banging on the door and yelled back out at him to see what was up. He said his truck broke down on the next big street over and could I call his girl for him to come pick him up. I'm pretty sure he was out driving a four wheel pickup in the nearby hills and cracked it up and eventually wandered down the dirt road that snakes up into the hills above the subdivision. Eventually I got that "call the girlfriend" task accomplished and he wandered away, but I was very very glad I hadn't accidentally left the front door unlocked. I seem to do that about once a year.

[boone]

People confuse my neighborhood with the Downtown Eastside.
I live in East Van. Not the DTES.
In East Van , as long as you mind your manners, you could walk around with a 100$ - bill pinned to your shirtfront without worry.
I once bummed $20 off a cop for cab fare while ****faced. Made arrangements to meet to buy him lunch the next day and repay him.
Mind your P's and Q's and you're right as rain in this 'hood. Wouldn't live anywhere else in Vancouver.



....and, yes: I realize this is a Necro-post.

[Mein Teil]

In Beaverton where I live, yes...Portland, not so much.

[nullterm]

Port Moody, perfectly safe unless you happen to be carrying a package of bacon and a bear is wandering through the park too.

Grew up in Edmonton. Many a time I stumbled around the city late at night totally drunk and no worries.
