It's only natural that duck_duck feels that the place she lives in is the best place to live. Same with anyone else.

The only difference is that the supposedly more mature people in this forum are arguing with a 16 yr old as if they are 16 yr olds also. Granted the main opponent in the argument is a mere 3 yrs older with probably not much more life experience, and possibly less.

Yes there's crime everywhere. Yes there's different levels of crime from place to place within a country. Yes there are places that we as residents of our country/city know we wouldn't go after dark.

I can see dd's point here and the point she's trying to make and coming from a country with similar gun laws, I know what she's trying to say.

Let me say this to you dd. You wont win this argument. No matter what 'facts' you provide as evidence. Better to save your energy and just be glad you live where you do.
