Heh, sorry dude but there's very few people on this earth who I consider a "badass". You better be a WW2 veteran or something like that, otherwise goodluck.

Most of the people on these forums are from England, then Canada... we're the third largest group At least I think we are. On the forums I mean... we're the second largest state in the US population wise, next to california.

But could he actually fit in there? I mean, not that I'm saying Megaton's big(he's just right for me), but unless your clothes are massive then I don't see how he would fit.

The subways after rush-hour are the best... that's when you can see the seedy-underbelly-covered-in-love-sauce of New York City The later in the day it gets, the weirder the people get And the tourists, who paid their hard-earned money to sit next to a big fat dude named Samantha wearing a skirt and eating cheese doodle, and then they wipe the sticky remnants of said doodles on the tourist's shirt... it's moments like that when every New Yorker feels right at home

Right. Or you can come to Toronto and ride the clean TTC, free of hobos, rapists, and escaped mental ward patients.

yeah but people might try to give you gifts at gunpoint

crime in NY is half the experience, if there was no crime , people wouldnt even visit. people want to see homeless guys get jacked up, people get mugged and stuff.

You'd think that New York was the hardest place in the entire world ever the way you talk about it.

I don't think that's true... not at all, actually. It's not nearly as rough-n-tough as it used to be, not since Rudy cleaned house (and cheated on his wife in Gracie Manor ) Our yearly murder rate is finally below 550 per year and crime across the board is dropping dramatically.

I once talked to someone who argued with me for a solid five minutes that Chelsea and the Village are the most dangerous areas in NYC... until I realized he was stereotyping the people who live there and talking about a different kind of danger But seriously, New York isn't nearly as horrendous as everyone makes it out to be, not anymore anyway. 550 murder per year might sound scary to some people, but you have to keep in mind that NY has over 8 million people in it, so half a thousand per year isn't that bad, considering

Brooklyn is the toughest burrough, and I'm not just saying that because my family is primarily stationed there... it can can be kinda scary at times. A lot of people I talk to who've never been to NY and visit Brooklyn for the first time say they walked away from it nervous and scared. I don't really understand why, but that's what people say. I played on those sidewalks many a time as a young kid and I was never kidnapped or shot or mugged.

You people are just being silly now. I want the full name and addresses of these "tourists" who visit a city just to see people get "jacked up, mugged and stuff".

Lets not go over-board with the exagerrating. If you want to talk "dangerous place to live" then I could tell you about how I lived in Israel in 1992-1998 where the thought of another bombing in a public place was 10x more frightening then some $20 mugging or hobo jacking.

p.s I am going to NYC, Washington, Detroit, and a few other cities this summer - looking forward to witnessing re face mug some blitz basic user on the street.

that's different, that's an official war zone, yes its much more dangerous than NY but for obvious reasons.

< Likes to eat pizza. Can't make a nifty arrow like you guys can.

Again, NYC isn't as dangerous as some people make it sound. But that doesn't mean we as NYers are weak people or anything... it's still way rougher here than most other places in the States. But I'm pretty sure Detroit is more dangerous now than NY is.

I think it sounds as a whole lot of murders. There's about 200 murders a year in Denmark... But then there's around 20.000.000 people living in New York, and only a little more than 5.400.000 in Denmark.

So I was right, about 550 murders per year... I knew we weren't that dangerous anymore. Rudy Giuliani really cleaned up new york, and while there's still a lot of theft-related crime, everything else has gone way down. But that doesn't make NYers weak or anything... there was a time when our murder rate was well over a thousand and crime was pretty rampant. I call those the "Koch/ Dinkins years." Koch and Dinkins were the only two democrats in history that I wouldn't have voted for had I been old enough to vote for them, but Dinkins was done in NYC in 1992 or 1993, so I was 12 or 13 years old at the time. On my mom's side of the family, the black side, everyone wanted to vote for the Dink because he was black... that's friggin' stupid, but what did I know, I was 13
