Well, no. Some cities are significantly less dangerous than others. For example, Democratic-run NYC has a lower murder rate than the entire GOP-run state of Florida as a whole; and a significantly lower murder rate than those of the two biggest cities in the state, Jacksonville and Miami--both led by Republican mayors.
Crap, yet another person on the board that I have to be jealous of.
That's "envious," dear.
Damn, you are right. I am certainly envious of Hooma's wealth. I am still wondering if Hooma was able to keep his name out of the papers at the time. I do often think about what I would do if I ever won a decent size prize. Buy houses for my kids, pay off my mortgages. Actually I would sell them and get a big house or two. Probably get a McLaren. I saw one driving down the shore this weekend and felt a twinge of envy. I think buying a private plane would be cool as well, but once when I was waiting in line for a rental car I was talking to a pilot for "Wheels Up" and it sounds like that might be the smarter bet for private flights. I would probably take a big cruise and go to events like the Masters, World Series and Super Bowl. They say the lottery is a tax on people who are bad at statistics, but people like Hooma show that it can happen. And you cant win if you dont play.

The trick is pretending Demographics don't matter.
The higher the population of African-Americans is in a city the higher the murder rate goes.

You also can't lose if you don't play. And a whole lot more people lose than win.
If you want to gamble, go to Vegas. Or just bet on sports. The odds you'll get are way better than you get with the lottery.
This, A million times this. rural red-state rubes who hold up a fashy view of tough guy American manhood and affect the look of special forces soldiers…apparently are too scared to go to US cities and think that’s cool. But the cities are where you know all the girly lefty metrosexuals have no problems.
Someone want to explain this one to me?
stolen from Twitter:
The funniest alpha white male trait in America right now is being proudly afraid of all American cities.
They aren't afraid for themselves little fella.
They're concerned for the women and children and betas like yourself that get taken advantage of in the liberal hell holes.
The only person taking advantage of me is my landlord.
If you took even a few minutes to plan your life, you would likely not waste a little more than $23 million invested. If you assume 80 more years of living after winning that money and you just put it under your mattress, you could spend $287,500 a year. I'm guessing that is a lot more than you make now.
If you take 3% of $23 million, that's $690,000 per year, and the money still grows. If you couldn't buy just about everything you want or need on that every year, then you have some problems.
If you actually had any money you would know that wealth is relative.
Chicken chest. Mutton chops. You should pour a bowl of clam chowder over your head and call it a day.
We are raising standards here. Your level of posting is more befitting a fish board.
A liberals with "standards"... LOL!
As is readily apparent, and you have been admonished several times previously, I'm not a liberal. I will out-conservative you every which way under god's round earth, and sort you out upside down and backwards. I'd smoke hash off a camel's back for conservativism. I'd upsell trinkets to a liberal, before I give up on conservatism. Can you say the same, chisel neck?

No offense but being admonished by stupid people isn't very impactful.
It would if you actually had any money and moved among peers who also had money.
What a moronic comment. Just because you have money doesn't mean you move in circles with people who also have money. I bought a restaurant for my buddy, and he's doing great. He chipped in a little just so he felt some ownership. I get a portion of the profits, and I've already made back what I put into it, and probably by the end of this year, I'm going to give him the rest of the restaurant, unbeknownst to him. The other business I bought is one that I was just a fan of. The owner wanted out, but I let the current staff continue to run it, much to their surprise, and I basically stay out of the way.
I own two homes. One is the one I live in 9 months of the year, and the other one is at the ocean where I go 3 months of the year. I could rent it out, but I don't need the money, so it just sits empty other than the few times the management staff goes in while I'm not there. Both homes are nice, but not indicative of the wealth I have.
My friends are people I went to high school and college with. None of them are as wealthy as I am though a couple of them have very good professional careers.
Pretty hilarious getting information from a guy who isn't rich about what it's like being rich, when I already am and you aren't.
Is there anything you know about? I haven't seen it.
Think about this for a moment. Liz Cheney used to be as much of a conservative and republican as one could possible be. Here family is engrained in the GOP here entire life. Now she is a pariah because she publicly accepts the truth and not the big lie. (I say publicly because all GOP members privately know the big lie is the big lie).
She had the audacity to not fall in line with Mango Mussolini. Many used to think that with Trump neutered from leaving office that the GOP would right themselves and grow a backbone and stand up for themselves. It was believed that the Q-Annon and Magat caucus would get pushed to the side. Boy did they underestimate the cowardice of the party.

Apparently she has a brain, some patriotism, and an ability to admit she was wrong about some things (Trump, and being against her gay sister; she has come around on that and apologized).
Trump was always stupid, anti-American, and nutty as a $3 bill, but he has gone off the deep end now with full-on Qanon support and saying not only that he could declassify documents with his mind, but that the FBI was possibly at Maralago looking for Hillary's e-mails. Um...WHAT?!!!
Time to lock him up, but I'm honestly not sure if it should be a prison or the nuthouse.
A top member of the FBI is in trouble that could possibly put him in prison. The serious allegations against him are astonishing. A top FBI official who aimed to destroy Donald Trump has shocking Russian ties. A former New Yo...
