And he is right, as twenty years ago this was impossible to happen.

I think that too many cooks spoil the broth; you cannot keep so many ethnic groups in the same city without falling into anarchy and disorder. Some of them conflictive even in their own country (I think it was Margaret Thatcher who said: you can take out a Black from the jungle, but you cannot take out the jungle from a Black... but I'm not sure). I'm not racist, I'm civilized. What is the British Governement waiting for? Scum to some lost jail in the middle of the sea, and let civilized London's people live alone....

It did happen 20 years ago. It happened thirty years also. How difficult is it to look stuff up on your own?

You mean like the US? I walk around with a machine gun strapped to me like in Somalia.

My perpection, in fact, is that Europe is becoming "some kind of Somalia". Little by little, I see more and more scum... And, to my mind, there are two reasons explaining this change:
1- Technological unemployment. People with no hopes in life, who will be always useless as technology will replace them (services and products cheaper, faster and better).
2- A salad of ethnic groups with no relation each others (little by little, in silence, growing faster than local population).

My perpection, in fact, is that Europe is becoming "some king of Somalia". Little by little, I see more and more scum... And, to my mind, there are two reasons explaining this change:

Perception isn't reality. I rather look at the data. Western Europe is far from a violent place. Obviously there would be less crime if certain groups weren't allowed to immigrate in mass without concern for their background. In other words cheap labor from the boondocks of a third world nation isn't a good idea. No one minds a Nigerian engineer. They mind 50 cheap laborers who will have a higher crime rate than the host population.

1- Technological unemployment. People with no hopes in life, who will be always useless as technology will replace them (services and products cheaper, faster and better). That's nice and all but your average small business man is thinking about putting food on the table today. They're not thinking twenty years down the road. Technological advances of the future doesn't put your child through college and pay the medical bills. They want cheap labor.

Big business also cares about the bottom line today. What does future technological advances matter to a CEO if he's booted today for not making a profit? Do you own stocks? Shareholders don't want to hear about "twenty years done the road." They want to know about now. They want to make money today.


2- A salad of ethnic groups with not related each others (little by little, in silence, growing faster than local population). I guess Blacks, Chinese, etc. can't be Catalans after all just by showing up to wave a flag.

The most dangerous U.S. cities are all diverse. But remember diversity is our strength.

Paps was right about you, you are indeed a moron. I'd guess this as a (poor-in-taste) attempt at humor, but you are very obviously neither funny, nor witty. You clearly couldn't have come up with such an "amusing" euphemism yourself, but as adroit as Margaret Thatcher is, neither did she.

And I'm pretty sure the phrase incorporates an epithet (nigger), rather than any descriptors (black). If you're going to be racially insensitive, please do it right next time. No sense in trying to beguile our intelligence with half-assed attempts.

I beg to differ. The most dangerous U.S. cities are usually more homogeneous and occupied by a large underclass and a working poor population. These cities usually have large majorities of impoverished African Americans unable to escape the mire due to social, political, or economic reasons. Other ethnic groups may also be notably present but they are usually the minorities. This is generally called the "post-industrial pattern." Newark, NJ, Baltimore, MA, St. Louis, MO, and New Orleans, LA are all great examples of the phenomenon.

^Chicago, the District of Columbia, and a portion of the New York metropolitan area (Bridgeport, New Haven, and NYC proper) were once ripe with violent crime, particularly in the 80's and 90's. Also, south NJ (Atlantic City, Camden, and Trenton) along with Philadelphia. If I'm not mistaken, south NJ still has quite the nefarious rep?

You're right though, this followed the industrial period, where families of migrants (many from impoverished regions of the south) arrived in the larger cities, in search of work (in assembly lines, in factories, etc). It was not uncommon for most to be turned away, for a general lack of knowledge regarding skilled labor, as well as (most likely) poor race relations. This, coupled with the incredible distance (which left them stuck in a relatively foreign part of the country), forced many into the very same conditions they had so desperately attempted to escape.

I believe the aforementioned areas you and I mentioned, were synonymous with the industrialization process (e.g., the automobile factories of the Motor city, the shipping yards of the DMV, etc), and part of a greater collective in an economic region known as the rust belt.

That's some bad logic. NYC is super diverse and one of the safest cities in America.

That's true. I still can't figure out how it went from one of the most dangerous city in the Western world during the 70s and 80s to one of the least dangerous. It's not because of Giuliani's reign. He lucked out in that he became mayor during the start of a drop in violent crime across America. Some argue the drop in crime is related to abortion. Children born to single mother's in rough neighborhoods commit the most crimes. If they were never born then, well, they can't grow up to mug you.

I don't think she meant to be funny or witty. She's one of the few women who lacks social skills. I rarely come across a woman who is socially inept but they do exist.
