A UNITED Nations report has labelled Scotland the most violent country in the developed world, with people three times more likely to be assaulted than in America. Actually we don't possess guns here, apparently people prefer to see the white in your eyes, face to face when knifing you!😏
'twas scary. I've never been beaten up in either city though 🙂
Originally posted by Swlabryeh Bearsden is very sedate compared to other parts of the city, have you never walked sauchihall street say 2 am on a Saturday night, its a war zone, as for sighthill in springburn, i was there once and there was this Lebanese dude doing a short documentary on violence against asylum seekers, he said that, and i kid you naught, that he has not even witnessed things like this in Beruit. and just for the record, four of my close friends are dead, all before their twenty fifth birthday, i had bottles smashed over my head and im talking those damn Dutch Grolsh things, my brother an iron bar, my uncle was stabbed etc etc., and that's just me an I live in a fairly descent part of suburbia, its not that we revel in violence, its, i dunno, glamorised, especially among the young dudes, really my heart goes out to them!
