Other things we should be aware of.
I transplanted this from the “Massage Parlor Reports,” thread. I moved it here because I think it is important, and relevant to finding Massage Parlors, in center city Philadelphia; even though it may be slightly off topic. In this thread I can approach almost any topic I like as long as pictures of a pretty girl accompanies my comments.

[QUOTE=JGgarth;1226391]…and since this forum is not about spades, I didn't (and still don't) think it's particularly on topic here. [/QUOTE]
Once again, the dense dumb ass that I am, I have no idea what this forum is about. The topics broached here vary widely. For example; Geometry. By pointing out the Philadelphia is not Beirut, I assume, Iorek was trying to suggest to a fellow monger that he would be safe walking in [B]Center City[/B] Philadelphia, to find a Massage Parlor. Why you felt it necessary to state:
[QUOTE=JGgarth;1224829]The "young people" mentioned as well as,"men", and "youths" and so on are codewords, of course. Meaning one well-known minority.[/QUOTE].
Dense dumb ass that I am, I am assuming that you are trying to point out, to anyone dumb enough to believe it, that 33 murders were committed in Philadelphia, by one well-known minority, and therefore it is not safe to walk anywhere in Philadelphia – including Center City.
I would like to continue the train of thought started by Iorek. It is common knowledge that, like most major cities, Philadelphia has a high crime rate. But, it is not Beirut. It is reasonably safe to walk anywhere you want in downtown Philadelphia – IMHO.
Sadly, calling a spade a spade, most the serious crimes – murders and attempted murders – are black on black. More often than not, most black on black murders in Philadelphia involve drugs. Some of the more stupid murders, against non-blacks, were committed by blacks during store robberies in their own neighborhood, where the amount robbed is usually $0 or less than $100. If you are not involve in a drug sell, insult a stupid black teen’s manhood, or try to stop a black man from smoking in a crowded bar, you are relatively safe walking in Philadelphia.
In keeping with Ggarth’s assertion that there are things we should be aware of (a novel assertion indeed). Here are some more things we as mongers should know.
New York has rats. Boston is not Berlin. According to the TimBucTu gazette, 33 people were stung by jelly fish last week. Life on Mars is hard. "Young people,” “men", and "youths,” are code words for that well know minority. Ice Cream is best eaten cold. State College, Pa., has a low crime rate and no StreetWalker stroll. Auckland is not Beirut, either. Statistically, you are more likely to be killed by a family member than by a well known minority (unless you are a member of that well known minority). Some member of a well known majority like to hide behind vague code names. [b]Bullshit ain’t nothing.[/b]
