You got to be be the most simple-minded poster on here. Im just gonna leave at that b/cuz I have no time to argue with you about some ignorant sh** like this anyway
No Im not my post was answering another post. I never come on blogs and innitially use a cities crime rate as my defense. I use my 2 eyes as my source. I was simply implying the main reason of chicago murder rate

This thread is really interesting.

I am a Danish photojournalist, and in december last year I went to Detroit, because I was drawn of many of the same things discussed in this thread - for example who these people who stay these places are.

If you are interested, you can see the result here (press "F" for optimal view) http://politiken.dk/fotografier/ECE1...ikanske-droem/

I will work more on this project when I get a chance, and I also have some other ideas. I will be living in Missouri for six months next year, so it would probably be exciting to discover East St. Louis too.

If anyone has ideas or tips or whatever, feel free to let me know. Here or mail (mail at magnusholm dot com)

Regards

I cannot understand why every forum has to revert to childish pissing contests that degrade one another? Cant we all agree that most of the places depected here are straight ghetto? Why argue over trash?

Who/what are you labeling as "trash"? If you're trying to say that the ghetto is full of people with trashy behavior then you should take a look at what goes on in the "nice" neighborhoods...

The neighborhoods are all trash. Some of the people are.

The neighborhoods are poor but the vast majority of the people are good. To call them trash is sorta like Mitt Romney or Gates sneering at working americans and calling YOU guys trash. remember, there is always someone more successful than you.
