Why is crime high in Bumfudge, Egypt? (Fairbanks: hoa, job)

[DannyL]

I've been reading the stats on the internet, just want to know why, that's all.

It is all to do with the Pyramids (they channel energy you know), then the sand fleas there carry a very contagious bite that effects the human brain, specifically the cognitive and agressive areas.

From the threads we see here, ANY city that has stats posted on City-Data.com is a high-crime city.

I think they ought to give that particular issue a bit lower level of prominence on their website.

Either that, or a filter that automatically sends every post with the header "why is crime so high in _yourcitynamehere_" directly to a FAQ and/or the thread archives.

While I agree with you theory and suggestion, I did look up Fairbanks at the local annual report, (several threads ago) and was supprised to find that for example rape was higher than national averages and that is seemed the peak in the graph was by 40's year old men. Of course not enough information in the report tells the cultural background to those individuals to see what the source history may be.

This constant conversation and debate seems to be stiffleing other members from posting questions and answers so they may avoid being a target of drawn out reasoning.

actually, it's those danged egyptians,(it really is the derivation of the term gypsy) and we all know what sort of bad ilk them folks is. why, they'd think nothin' a stealin' yer best milk cow or eatin' a couple of yer hawgs, filchin eggs and what not, why, nobody in their right mind leaves a pie a-coolin on the window sill, it'd be nabbed in less than a minute. bum-fudged egypt has such a high crime rate, a cause ther all thieves!!!! I heard that they even made a sport outta dog kickin'....now if that ain't horri-bile i don't know what is! After all, it's a knowd fact that the true definition of "mass confusion" is fathers day in Bum-fudged egypt", they jus' wharn't brung up good.

Because it's so remote and the hoodlums dressed in Alaskan gear sneak off knowing the only way out is by plane or boat and live a life of seclusion in dry cabins next to a lake where they toss honey buckets and shoot guns everyday at moving barrels being drug behind short wheelbased jeeps whilst ravens perch overhead on a starbucks sign hoping for some properly cured salmon that is tossed to them in the deep snow amid ungodly cold temperatures that crack 14" to 16" pine trees like rifle reports in the never ending night?

whoa....good one Rance!

[Dusty Rhodes]

Dang Rance, you wax poetic well. Good job!

Note that was all said in one breath.

It was "whilst ravens perch" that really made the piece :-)
