Any more stupid comments or questions?
My God. You actually posted that as a rebuttal, darvlay.

The opening paragraph says it all:

" Canada's national crime rate, based on incidents reported to police, fell 5% last year — DESPITE INCREASES in serious crimes such as homicide, attempted murder, serious assaults and robbery.

Declines in non-violent offences such as counterfeiting, break-ins and auto thefts accounted for most of the decline in the crime rate, which fell in every province and territory."

Uhhhmmmmm, the crime rate fell 5% based on total incident reports, despite increases in HOMICIDE, ATTEMPTED MURDER, SERIOUS ASSAULTS, ROBBERY, (and I'm sure rape must be in there someplace, but they were too embarrassed to mention that little tid-bit)

Welcome to Canada, land of politically correct nonsense.

uhhhhh.....those serious crimes.....who committed the majority of them?

Here we go again with the tangential racist rhetoric. Choose to live your life as a xenophobe in fear of what you don't understand and I will choose to embrace culture and defy your want for a segregated society.

You can perverse those stats all you like but they were plain in rebutting your ignorant statements about the city in which I live and the generalisation that diversity is equivalent to crime.

Now go back to your shack, Dodger. Daddy's waiting for you in the tool shed.

As I thought, no honest reply, just insults and the charge of "racist'.

Keep burying your head in the sand and living in a state of denial. We're done here, it's pointless trying to have a dialogue with you, you win all arguments by accusing someone of being a bigot and then running away with a smile on your face.

That was an honest reply. You mistake my honesty for smugness, that's your problem.

And let's be clear, you can charge me with burying my head in the sand but everybody here knows where I live (including "Sam the Sham" who I've never spoken to until today) and knows that I experience life in a highly-diversified urban centre first-hand. That is how I win the argument, with credibility, something of which you have none. You are a faceless coward who spews hateful rhetoric and then runs away with a smile on his face. End of story.

By the way, come to Toronto anytime! I'm always looking for a new rape victim.

Last I heard, the highest crime rate in the country was in Saskatoon and Regina in Saskatchewan. I would gather it's like that because people there have nothing better to do. No culture, you see.

Go back to your shack and live your life in fear of what you don't understand, Dodger. I don't mind. The world is better off with the small-minded cowards in the shadows.

Some areas of Montreal are pretty rought but you can say that about most big cities.

Why? Tell us. You're so aware, you must know. Are they stupid or something?

Give us the links that show that to be true, versus Toronto's statistics. I'd like to educate myself.

Don't dodge the issue.

muahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
You really are some kind of stupid, Dodger. Since you're so fond of reading introductions and skipping the rest, here's the opening paragraph from the second article Darv posted:

"New statistics suggest overall crime rates in Canada are highest in small urban areas, perhaps debunking the assumption that big cities are more dangerous."

No more. This is just plain foolish now. If you believe that, I pity you.

Canada is lost to the world, the lunatics are running the asylum.

Yes, buy a flat on the cheap in a bad neighborhood, that's always a good investment.

Unless you get murdered or raped.
Yes, it's really annoying. Every time I went to Neukölln I got raped or murdered.

One thing to note is that Neukölln is a pretty big and diverse area. I am not sure if you are talking about the "Bezirk" (borough) or the "Ortsteil" (subdistrict) - most likely the borough -, but in any case you'd probably need to know a more exact location to get a better idea about the place and whether it's worth investing there. Judging from the German Wikipedia article (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bezirk_Neuk%C3%B6lln), some parts of Neukölln are still or have become problem zones, but those can be limited to one street or block.

guess the selling price is well explained and I will back off.
"The district of Neukoeln in West Berlin is one of the most ethnically diverse districts. It is about 40% Turkish. The unemployment rate for the general population was 22.4% in 2004, and for the immigrant population the unemployment rate is 43.2%. This area is also known for having poor schools."

Sounds like you'll love it.
