Some parts of the UK, (leicester, sheffeild, north london), and more dangerous than chicago, la, and miami in terms of your chances of getting stabbed.
That may be true but you have a much higher chance of getting shot in Chicago or Miami. Also Chicago and Miami are middle of the pack when it comes to murder rate as compared to the places you mention in the UK where the murder rate is very high compared to the rest of the country. The small city that I live in has a higher murder rate than Chicago and Miami. "Rampant" crime is in the eye of the beholder I guess.

What a crock of sh!t. Everyone should be liable to be criticised for every foolish decision! (politely and rationally, mind you). Allowing 'sacred cows' or political correctness stop intelligent criticsm stiffles both individual and human progress.
For the maladjusted freaks out there - neither is this an excuse for trolling.
Exactly. All these namby-panby, lily-livered, pussy-mouthed, shit for brains do-gooders have completely screwed up life in the UK.
"Social Workers" put pressure on the government to get smacking banned, there is no discipline in schools and there is rampant knife crime.

Kids do not understand the differences between right and wrong. This needs to change.
Same as the original post. If someone I know goes out and buys Vista, then has problems with it... but keeps it on as it "looks better than XP". I will slap him for being a retard.
People need to be shown the errors of their ways.
