AOL Travel News:

Traveler beware: The list of the world's most dangerous cities was released and with a few exceptions, consider it a primer in where not to go.

While it's always wise to be vigilant when in a foreign place (even a place as innocuous as New Orleans), keep a heightened sense of awareness when traveling to, say, Rio de Janeiro (which has a crime rate "similar to a war zone") or Cape Town.

Interesting fact: More than 50 murders happen a day in South Africa. More than half of those occur in Cape Town.

Detroit of the past will obviously not be its future. But Detroit is quintessentially American. There is a toughness that refuses to concede to the labels that those others wish to bestow.

uumhh....O­akland, CAlifornia­? Grew up there....I­'ve got love for Oakland, just glad I do not live there any longer!

As for these bleeding hearts who blame the US for screwing up these Third World countries, take a look at the corrupt govenments of these same countries before blaming the US.

The most dangerous city in the world is Washington D.C. Thousands of people are backstabbe­d, stepped upon, and screwed over on a daily basis.

What a waste of time.
For example, the comment about Baghdad cites statistics going back to 2003 and the US invasion-- why aren't current statistics (since the US drew down forces) used? Or the comment about Mogadishu: I don't doubt it's dangerous, but why did it make the top-ten list if there aren't statistics to support its inclusion.

Baghdad before the Useless Snakes destroyed it was actually more FREE, modern, clean than it is now.

Of course most of the destroyers never were in Baghdad before 2003. I was.

Well, if New Orleans wasn't in the top 10, it is now. At least for the writer of that article.

The citizens of these cities are doing something pro-active about population control, starting at the local level. We should applaud them!

My version of a positive spin on a negative account.

How can this be? The most dangerous cities all have strict gun control. That was supposed to be the universal solution

In order for something to be funny, it needs to have an element of truth.

exceot I wasn't meaning to be funny. I just hoped to get a couple of simple minded stage one thinkers to dwell on it for a few minutes. Looks like the theory was too complex

The AOL merger has brought HP quality down. I clicked on the headline, cool to spend 20 seconds seeing what they thought the 10 most dangerous cities were, expecting it to be a slideshow that I could quickly scroll through, and rate if I wanted to.

Instead I have to watch a video starting with an advertisem­ent. Not that curious.

HP is NOT good any more. I wish I knew another site that was what HP used to be. It's hard to find a good article here anymore. There used to be so many good writers I couldn't read it all. Now there are just s few left. I don'[t even want to click on much.

In my 5-½ years here, I've had an ongoing lovehatere­lationship­, with a resulting four usernames just to make myself feel good about starting all over again. Like you said, most of the good writers/co­ntributors are gone.

Detroit ... too weird.
Windsor, Ontario, Canada ... straight across the river from Detroit.
Windsorite­s can actually watch live murders happening before their eyes with a decent pair of binoculars just by gazing towards Detroit.
No need to subscribe to expensive reality TV channels.
Anyway, Windsor has about 2 murders per 100000, go figure.

Windsor is a beautiful city. We used to drive from Detroit to Windsor on our way to Wheel's Inn.
