BRFR Cake Stop 'breaking news' miscellany

I've always found it interesting that most of the world's most dangerous cities tend to be Christian majority.

I suppose that depends on how you define "dangerous", and, "christian", is London (say) a Christian city?

Not really Christian and not particularly dangerous on a world scale.

 

[First Aspect]

And they're both different from 'go-dogging'.

In terms of participation, there's an overlap.

I would agree, but, could you give an example of a "christian" city which you consider to be in the dangerous category? I would guess, it would be in South America.

 

[First Aspect]

Presumably this would be a reference to cities in central and south America, and southern Africa?

I somehow don't think it's entirely reasonable to infer causation from this correlation with the prevailing religion.

Cities all over the Americas (South, North, Central and Caribbean) feature on that list along with South Africa. Without resorting to stats, I would then include places like Lagos. Then whilst not up there on a world scale, Philippines has quite a lot of crime for Asia.

It's just a random theory based on my travels. I'm sure plenty of exceptions could be found.

You've been to Truro then.

Truro: A friend who would know said that most of the court cases there were "family-related".

I would suggest places like Gaza City, Mogadishu, Sanaa, Kabul, Aleppo etc. etc. are as or more dangerous but not in terms of recorded criminal stats. Not many of them are Christian.

 

[First Aspect]

A lot of places vary greatly in danger based on who you are as well. I suspect I would be far more likely to get mugged in Mexico as a visitor with sunburn, flipflops and some ill judged bathing attire than if I was a local.

Up here they have an expression when people are judged to be, or its is suggested that they are too closely related: They say "Sweet home Alabama".

Oh noooo.... Not this again. You need Masjer (way out west) to complete the double act.

Is that not "Ahm a bammer"?

You do know that satanists wear purple penguin suits so as to be able to recognise each other in the streets.

Warzones are not part of my theory.
