    I hate living in the city...

    I was halfway to the corner of 8th and Dauphin (I live at 6th and Dauphin) only a few minutes ago right by an old warehouse. There was a number of people at the corner (there's a club right there). and some dude there suddenly shouted, 'yo B, you got my gun?!' and then someone, only 30 feet from me just opened fire. Five shots.

    god damn. why in god's ****ing name do i got to live like this? this aint ****ing right! this aint how human beings are supposed to live, ducking strays!

    Jesus, that's terrible.

    Personally, I'm living in Iowa right now, and I can't WAIT to get to the city. I'd rather live in danger than die from boredom.

      this **** happens every saturday night, just usually, I get past the club by 2:30 am when people start leaving it so I'm safe but today, i missed the first bus coming back from my work (we were understaffed and i had to do several jobs so we were 15 minutes late in closing), so i was walking home just in time to see them idiots start shooting each other. 30 feet away at the most. if i was walking a little faster and had reached the corner then, i could easily have been shot. ****ed up ****.

        It's obvious you need to move to the countryside to plant the cows and chickens or what have you.

          Keep your head down.
          Stay in college.
          Study hard.
          Get out and make something of yourself.
          Live wherever you want.

          It's a pretty straightforward plan. Good luck with it.

            Well, much of the city isn't like this. Even Philadelphia has nicer neighborhoods.

            Anyway, if it's so predictable, the cops should be all over this kind of stuff.
            I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

                I suggest getting away from the inner city as fast as possible. Philly is a tough city as well. The inner city in Vegas isn't that bad. Mostly drugs, not much guns. Most gun violence only kills little girls. I swear little mexian girls must be magnets for bullets. They seem to be the only ones killed by gang violence . But other than that, the only people killed in my city, are usually the intended target. And they did something to warrant that death (by gang warfare rules of course). Oh, we have the usual domestic killing as well. It doesn't pay to marry men who can be violent.

                  Do you secretly live in Mogadishu Speer or have I just forgotten how mindlessly violent American cities can be after years of living in Canada/UK?
                  Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.
                  -Richard Dawkins

                    Yes, but in your infamous trip to the suburbs you claimed you hated all those people because they didn't have to put up with that sort of crap. Get consistent, kid.

                            Northampton Capital of ?? well .. err .. those big radio masts as you make your way down the M1 .. thats about the sum of my knowledge

                            Its a good question though Albert .. how do some people get into lives that lead them to consider pulling a gun in such a way .. its really sad. I think Inner city kids should be all sent to live in small villages for a few years, to calm them down, and who knows, even get a reasonable education ?? may actually help them.

                              AS, You got shot at just like that? Uh.. You need to get out of there ASAP. You deserve better than that.

                              .. no wait, they were shooting each other? well anyway, that's almost as bad because you were so close.. I couldn't imagine living in area like that. Get out the first good chance you get.
