People are so dumb and misinformed! Those results from the poll do not match the actual crime statistics.

People in NYC and DC should feel very safe. Seeing as they are constantly patrolled because of terrorism.

My city is #3 and I do not feel safe at all! schmoll
Nothing but barbaric heatens shifting around, just dying to get their dirty paws on my Prada bag! diva

I blame Bush!

#6: San Francisco.

Hooray, I'm safe!

Eat it, all you endangered Americans!

8. Chicago

I find that VERY hard to believe...

If Atlanta is so safe, then why do they continue to have the most murders? There is hospitals in Atlanta dedicated only for gunshots. Why is D.C still one of the most dangerous places to drive through. Where is Denver? That is always on the list for one of the safest cities to live in, and it isnt even there.

12 Los Angeles?

bull shit!

"The polls results don't necessarily reflect crime statistics; instead, they focus on public perception about each city."

This just in: Americans are ignorant!

That list is a joke

The reason those cities are considered safest is because they divide the amount of crime per 100 thousand people instead of just saying which cities have the most crime. But, New york city is much safer than it was years ago, same with Miami.

No kidding.

True that. I wouldn't put NYC that far back from like Boston...i dunno about the other cities, i've never been to any of those cities besides Boston, Washington, and L.A. ...i do wanna move to San Fransico when i'm older though, last article i read was that San Fran was like #3 on the list of safest cities.

You could have made that quote more reasonable by saying humanity. whatprompted you to say that anyway? Was it because a bullshit web poll taken by public perception?

Rage, I know that you can take a joke when you're drunk.

The solution: get drunk more often.

bullshit web poll?
Its was a Gallop phone poll.

Gallop being the most respected polling agency.

I'm partially drunk, does that count. I wasn't flaming your post, just wandered what made you think that. I thought it was the fact that America has a such poll as to what is the safest city in our country. That is pretty bad. what ever happened to the most livable city poll?

I found this list with safest and most dangerous..I think it could be accurate because ohio is all over there dangerous list and I live here and can say it's quite a defiled state.

THe safest city from a terrorist attack would be a less-know city, as the terrorists would not bother to bomb it.

move out?

I do'nt think there is any safe citys in the usa.All the bad news offen come from cities.Like york(NJ) New York and Philly(pa).It depends acouse what you mean by safe.
Do you mean by the terriest or by crime?Also Washion would be the worst state to live in now.I would never want to live there.JM

sorry.. but where are you from?

I am from the Garden state!Why do you ask?Oh and I re read the post again.So I am going to change my answear to saying that no state is safe when it comes to attecks.
THe most likly thing they can do is bomb somewhere unknown inleast acouse they are aiming for the white house.JM

you mean you're from USA? just curious.



and ithought the idea of the thread was what ppl think about their cities, and not where the attact is most probably to happen.

Me too!Yes I am from the usa!Is it what this thread is about?Now I am confuse more then ever!JM Oh well!

is this about terrorism or crime?

Many people could have told you that.Just so you know

Ditto

This study is obviously meant to include cities whose metropolitan areas are around 2 million people.

I live in the Raleigh-Durham metro area, which has about 1 million people in it, and it's safer than probably all of the cities on that list.

Same with Charlotte, NC. Nicest big city I've ever been too.

new orleans is the most dangerous city in the US

i was thinking of wiping my dog's @ss with that list, but then i realized that my dog's @ss would've ended up with more sh!t.

Savannah, Georgia and Pine Bluff, Arkansas are also mid-sized cities, though smaller than New Orleans, which are extremely dangerous if you're in the wrong parts.

New Orleans!
Home of pirates, drunks, and whores!
New Orleans!
Tacky, overpriced, souvenir stores!
If you want to go to hell, you should make that trip,
To the Sodom and Gomorrah on the Mississipp'!

New Orleans!
Stinking, rotten, vomiting, vile!
New Orleans!
Putrid, brackish, maggoty, foul!
New Orleans!
Crummy, lousy, rancid, and rank!

- Song from The Simpsons: A Streetcar Named Marge

Yerss, do you have a quote for everything?

Chicago's got one of the highest murder rates in the country...

You see everything, you see every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can’t relate
And you’re still here

- Everything, by Alanis Morissette


how do you mean S?

nearly everytime someone posts, you somehow have a quote (mostly from the Simpsons, I've noticed) that relates to it...would I be correct in saying that you have way too much time on your hands?

damnit silver... I knew this song with "time" in it, but I can't remember it cry

well, I can say:

"we don't have so much time"

I just wuv quotes
