    Eh yeah, that's why there are thousands of Limerick folks streaming as refugees to safer climes like, eh Baghdad and Kabul, which don;t seem to appear on that list.

    I've never thought any city i've been in to be that dangerous, it's the hill folk you need to watch out for.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,992 ✭✭✭Degag


    No Baltimore or Los Angeles?

    Damn, The Wire and The Shield have misled me!:mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,752 ✭✭✭markesmith


    Kinshasha should be in there somewhere

    Didn't feel safe in Santa Cruz either (that place in Bolivia where the Irish guy got shot)

    Hear Rathkeale's just waiting for city status to overtake all of the above!

    Los Angeles is fairly safe. New Orleans is the roughest of the lot.

    Washington D.C. surprised me I really didn't feel that safe walking around it but hardly the worst around.

    That city has consistently been in the top five murder rates for at least a decade. Dodgy as fook.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,562 ✭✭✭scientific1982


    Kingston, Jamaica should be well up there.

    I'd go with

    1. Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea
    2. Mogadishu, Somalia
    3. Kinshasa, Central African Republic
    4. Lagos, Nigeria
    5. Johannesburg, South Africa
    6. Capetown, South Africa
    7. Baghdad, Iraq
    8. Guatemala City, Guatemala
    9. Port Au Prince, Haiti
    10.Kingston, Jamaica

    At this point, I would like to say certain things about Africa and its continued mismanagement, but I will only upset the politically correct liberals in here, who may believe that we should all hold hands, and sing Kumbayah. Papua New Guinea, Nigeria and Somalia are three that come to mind when it comes to my nasty right wing side. No further mention is worth an infraction or ban from any moderator who thinks I have overstepped the mark.

    6/ erm, Limerick - Ireland.. ummmm, horse outside?



    Juarez looks the daddy from what I know..

    any more nice friendly places...?

    Shi.t thread.

    First of all it's COLOMBIA not COLUMBIA. I lived in Bogota for 3 months two years ago and it is a very safe city to live in irrespective of what is happening with the rebels and drug trade in the jungles.

    The fact that Limerick is on this but no mention of Baghdad just shows it is totally fuc.king retarded.

    With the exception of Ciudad Juarez I'm pretty sure more people were killed in Baghdad than all the above cities combined last year.

    EPIC FAIL!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,134 ✭✭✭x in the city


    AH, So I dont give a flying fluck if I had a typo,call the f|cking spelling cops.. .quick!!

    As for Limerick, my horse outside jibe might lead the more astute onto the fact I was not all too serious.

    Of course baghdad is a beautiful place, that why I asked for others posters comments on other cities.

    and it cool if a letter is misplaced also


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,115 ✭✭✭Pal


    Los Angeles is fairly safe. .

    I agree.
    If you're visiting LA, follow these simple rules ;
    • Stay indoors at night
    • Drive everywhere
    • Avoid eye contact with any of the 260,000 gang members,

    You should find it perfectly safe.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,119 ✭✭✭Sprrratt


    Seen a scumbag in Ballsbridge, wont go there again.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,822 ✭✭✭iPlop


    Mexico climbed to 15,273 deaths in 2010 ,Ciudad Juárez deaths were 3100 and 15 people were decapitated in Acapulco outside a shopping centre

    Im never going to mexico and would probably feel safer in Baghdad

    I'd love to go to Mexico but those stats aren't great. Are they gang deaths or something?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,481 ✭✭✭Fremen


    I vote for Secret Hidden Ninja City.

    No, of course you've never heard of it.

    I live in Cape Town, the city itself is very safe for the most part. If you go wandering out into the townships on a dark night it's not very safe, but that's the case for virtually every city in south America and Asia too.

    Also you do know that Papua New Guinea isn't actually in Africa


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,688 ✭✭✭Kasabian


    Anyone that knows Limerick knows it is not a dangerous city but don't let let the hype come in the way of the truth.

    You know Papua New Guinea is in Australasia, right? You're not a complete imbecile, I take it?

    They say a guy by the name of Big Daddy runs New Orleans!

    Also I think Kinshasa is in the Democratic Republic of Congo, or else that Blood River author guy was really lost :P

    Holy Cow. Now that you mention it I've heard about some Drug baron who has been on the run for years.
    Makes our "drugs war" look like a laugh. If some foreigners ever came over here to nick the business it would be no bother to them I'd say. It's there for the taking.
    Ireland is the safest place in the EU in terms of murder isn't it?
