However, toughness as resilience and determination (i.e. tough-minded), or a tough work ethic, then that would be a good quality.
thank you. 100 percent agreed.

New Yorkers, which are about half my family, hide behind their "New Yorker Facade." And, although lots of people are fooled by that facade, not everybody is. You people in New York are better at what to wear tomorrow than backing up your big mouths and arrogant attitudes. Come to Camden, NJ dude, act like a tough guy down there, see how you end up.

Dare I use numbers to back up my arguments? Ingrate. You're just mad your town isn't as bad as you think it is, and want it to be.
Camden is dangerous because its small. Cross the river and go to some sections in North Philly, it's the same ****...not much different. Of course Philly has a lower crime rate, thats because the city is huge and makes room for better neighborhoods in which bring the crime rate down. If you cut off Northeast Philly, Center City, and Northwest Philly....now you have a MUCH bigger version of Camden.

True, anyone can visit Camden and get intimidated. But at the same time, you can visit sections of Brooklyn and the Bronx...and you'll get your jaw broken as well.

the hood is the hood everywhere.

overall crime rates are bias.

a city can have 1 hood in its whole city that is more dangerous than every hood in a city where they have 20 hoods.

but because the city has 1 hood it will be labeled safe but at the end of the day that 1 hood in the safe city is as violent as all the 20 hoods in the next.

internet tough guys just don't understand lol.
