New York state is NOT NYC.
Well, duh. But the two big cities tend to skew stats a lot.
NYC should be the 51st state (it has an operating budget bigger than a
lot of nations).
Lets compare the crime rate in my
town of 18,000 to lets say...HollyWood, per capita of course.
I already did big town/little town: "I live near Syracuse, a city of
about 100,000 that has a higher murder rate than NYC."
By the numbers, it's safer in bad old NYC than in upstate NY.

New York state is a nice place. NYC..well..if they were gonna give the
East Coast an enema..thats one of the places they would put the hose.
Nonesense. I've been in NYC and DC and DC is far worse (leading the
country in violent crime... way to go!).
-Carl
DC is already hosed....G
Gumdrop, when is the last time you have ever been to either city?
Bout 10 yrs ago. Why?
Because you're so way off base on both cities that I just assumed you
were making it up. My guess is you were nowhere near these cities,
and you really ARE making it up.
How so?
From the 1998 FBI Uniform Crime Report, as reported on page 906 of my
2000 World Almanac:
| | Next | | |
Category | | Highest | | MD | VA
of Crime | DC Rate | State | Rate | Rate | Rate
--------------|---------|-------------|-------|-------|------
Violent Crime | 1,718.5 | New Mexico | 961.4 | 796.6 | 325.7
Agg. Assault | 943.0 | S. Carolina | 694.6 | 454.5 | 187.2
Robbery | 689.5 | Maryland | 298.7 | same | 105.6
Murder | 49.7 | Louisiana | 12.8 | 10.0 | 6.2
D.C. has 78.7 percent more violent crime, 35.8 percent more aggravated
assaults, 130.8 percent more robberies, and 288.3 percent more murders
than ANY OTHER STATE IN THE UNION!
Well, it is an urban city. As I said SE and NE are nasty, but NW is
wonderful. Methinks it because of the large black population that you
are afraid of the area.
Ah ....no, Im racially color blind. Its all that crime that bothers
me. No matter who commits it.
Now we both know that's not true, don't we gumdrop?
Handguns are banned in DC.
True, and they haven't figured out yet that it doesn't work.
Indeed. So crime victims are hosed.
Only if they choose to be.
Politicians work in DC (big bunch of crooks)
Yet we keep electing them. Who's to blame?
Do they or do they not work there? Never mind about how they got
there.
They work all around, and not all of them are crooks. And only 535
congress critters do not determine the character of an area. Only a
simple minded bigot like you would let such prejudice take over their
reason.
Stolen money is spent like water in DC.
For pork barrel projects in the provinces, yes.
Provinces? Snicker....
Boondocks, sticks, whatever you prefer, gumdrop.
Organized crime operates in mass out of DC. Its called Government.
Uh huh. Dale Gribble phone home.
Denial is not a river in Egypt
Dale? Is that you Dale?

".4 Based on 1998 data for the eight communities studied,5 a
15-year-old urban African-American male faces a probability of being
murdered before reaching his 45th birthday that ranges from almost 8.5
percent in the District of Columbia to just under 2.0 percent in
Brooklyn, New York. By comparison, the probability of being murdered
by age 45 is 2.21 percent nationally for all U.S. black males and 0.29
percent for all white males.6

It's still only a segment of the city, but a fairly significant one.
So is it hosed or not?
No.
People are scattering Anthrax and Ricin in DC.
You forgot Ft. Lauderdale.
Different subject
Anthrax? Hardly. It's even been mentioned in newswax and wing nut
daily, so you might have seen it.
DC is still on the
targeting computers of the few remaining Russian ICBMs.
Don't forget all those missile silos in the midwest.
Yes, and?
Figure it out, stupid.
Damned few people can afford to live there, (or want to)
LOL, and this is from someone who lives in southern California? And
why do so many people move there each year?
Why? Because my mortgage payment is $480 a month. And that of even the
worst slum hovel in DC is?
You live in a shack in the middle of the desert, so you can't
compared.
The mayor wants the district to become inn keepers, not to mention a
little problem with district employee credit cards...LOL
Aren't the feds in charge of city finances?
Nope.
They were a few years ago.
This is the same fellow who came out in favor of vouchers, then
recanted in the Liberal ****storm that followed, even though the DC
schools have managed to turn out substandard students for years.
At least he had the right idea.
Before or after the waffle?
Before.
Though I do rather like his quote...
"I didn't get elected to 1) be mayor for life and 2) just to sit
around and watch Oprah and eat Cheetos," Mayor Williams
But he's black, gumdrop, so you're probably afraid of him.
Ok dip****..from which part of my postings do you get any racism? You
have mentioned it twice in the same post..so trot out some cites.
Be honest, that's why you hate these areas. Because they're filled
with black people.
Im totally color blind as far as people go.
Ok, then you hate everybody.
Ive lived worked fought
loved hated killed with people of all colors. When you are holding a
dying buddy in your arms, it makes no difference what color the skin
is. Folks is folks. I know as many bad whites as I do (insert color
of your choice).
Given you calling me some racist, is simply your version of knee jerk
hatred and bias based Strictly on my political stance. You are
stereotyping worse than the jew haters and the black haters and any
other low class piece of **** on two legs. Im a conservative so I
HAVE to be a klanner..is that right?
Let's see, who mentioned "turd world countries" hmmm? What were you
referring to there, gumdrop?
So go ahead you two legged piece of bigoted ****
Denial ain't just a river in Egypt, gumdrop.
..trot out your
citations . Double dog dare you. "gumdrop"
Look at your sig below:
Leftwingers are like pond scum. They are green, slimy, show up where
they are not wanted, and interfere with the fishing.
Wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that most minorities are
left-of-center politically? Nah, couldn't be. Color blind.
Righhhttt.
