Really? I went all over DC a year ago and other than being offered drugs by a gentleman with very poor hygene I loved the city. Downtown is a bit dodgy, but otherwise it was fine.CameronPoe wrote:

I arrived at the rear end of Hurricane Floyd having caught the last train out of NYC with no accommodation arranged. We four white guys in shorts wielding maps and backpacks ended up in a motel in the north inner city. The office had 4 inch thick bullet proof glass, their was a queue of men outside one of the rooms which obviously contained a prostitute. Someone ran by our room chasing another guy with an iron bar. People were cutting drug deals all around us on the streets. It was a N.I.G.H.T.M.A.R.E.Masques wrote:

Other than drug-dude the only other person I found scary there was a rather large member of the US Energy Department special security team.
Thats the shitty, ghetto part of DC. Northwest DC is far more enjoyable than that shithole that is Southeast. The DC cop force putting tons of cars to monitor high-speed areas to rake in tons of cash doesn't really help the crime either. Hey assholes, instead of getting your cash off of ticketing people, how about doing your fucking jobs and stop the crime?CameronPoe wrote:

Don't get me wrong now - DC is a brilliant destination for tourists. We were just naive and desperate and ended up in the wrong place.Hurricane wrote:
Oaxaca City, Mexico (I'd hate to be there right now). Wasn't that bad but it just had this kind of eerie feeling.
Southeast DC is always good for some "oh shit I think i'm gona get shot" feelings though.

And Ireland sounds pretty shittty too. If some 14 year olds tried to assault me, and I was packing heat... it'd be like Neo when he infiltrates that office w/ Trinity in the first Matrix movie. Fuck if I go to jail, I'd rather not get mugged/assaulted by a bunch of teens who think they're the shit by having their group of 20 butt-fucking-buddies assault someone and record it on film.
Even funnier would be, if they try to do that "happy slap" shit... I'd grab their phone, break it on the ground, then kick them in the nuts so hard that they'd never be able to reproduce.

Curious to know how many who say that Belfast is bad are Catholics. My wife's brother lives near Belfast with family, and there's been no talk about any real stuff you don't find anywhere else. The Orange Parade isn't a big deal for them as well. Then again, they are Protestants...IG-Calibre wrote:
Aye Belfast is getting a bad oul touch in this, though I have to say - they party in Belfast like no where else on the planet (that i've been to yet) i've yet to see some where that is as good as in Belfast - It's not that bad as it's being painted here, we tend to kill each other not visitors. Besides all that other shite is behind us now - all the terrorists are in the UK - ours are now all playwrights, and poets & musicians

Depends what you mean by near Belfast - some very nice affluent places near Belfast where there is no real bother, and then there are some wild shite holes in Belfast you know what I mean? it's really no different than any other City on the planet - there are dodgy areas and some not so dodgy - it's got nothing to do with religious background - there are spides on both sides of the equationIlocano wrote:

LOL. Yes, the National Guard was deployed, but what tank? Where? Sure, we had shop owners defending their shops on rooftops. Armed militia defending their neighborhoods. Mothers looting for diapers. New big screen TV's showing up in poor neighborhhoods.N.A.T.O wrote:

Regarding Compton, daylight you are fine. Lights out, forget it. I've been in Compton for Jury Duty enough times to know what not to do. Funny thing is that it's safer to travel alone than in a packed car. If you are in a packed car, the drug dealers come over while you are waiting for the light...
