Sarcasm sure goes over your head. I suppose it because of where you
keep you head.

I don't know how you define "Southern." Detroit and Chicago are at the
same latitude as Boston. Detroit even borders Canada.

Get a life.


Get an education.

Also, if you get murdered you are just as dead in a city of 500,000+
as you are in one with 1,000 people.


So? I was only pointing out that your stat was only for large cities,
and there are many small cities in the South that have the same high
murder rate. Perhaps if you learned the basics of grammar and
punctuation, we wouldn't have this problem.

Your
knowledge of the population of cities is truly unbelievable are you
looking at 1810 census?


All of the cities I mentioned have populations under 500,000, according
to the 2003 FBI crime statistics. Perhaps you can tell us what mistake
you think I made.

Its not clear what your point is here. Are you saying these are or
are not southern states?

From my Boston perspective, most of these cities are southern.
However, if you're claiming they are not, you should consider that
this is from a list of cities over 500,000, which excludes all cities
in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, South Carolina, Mississippi, and
Louisiana.

Birmingham, Little Rock, Atlanta, Jackson, and Miami have higher
murder rates than Philadelphia.

New Orleans would lead the list, having a murder rate 20% worse than
Washington.
