[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because they hear other kids say it. Honestly, how much are these kids really taking advantage of being in a city? It's a stupid trend.[/quote]

This is a silly comment…my kid takes advantage of the city all the time…gets free tickets to professional sporting events, goes to restaurants, etc.

How is it a “stupid trend” considering some of the oldest, most prestigious universities in the country are located in cities.[/quote]

New Haven... Baltimore... great cities!  /s[/quote]

Boston, Providence, Philadelphia, New York, Chicago[/quote]

Of the cities you listed, only Boston is somewhat appealing.  The others are crime ridden hell holes.[/quote]

You sound like someone hiding in your basement watching OAN all day.

They aren’t crime ridden hell holes by any stretch.[/quote]

I’ve never watched OAN in my life, but anyone with even a shred of common sense knows that those cities are indeed crime ridden.  You sound like someone in utter denial.[/quote]
Baltimore isn't even in the top 25. But Nashville, home of DCUM darling Vanderbilt, is.

I live in Baltimore and I'm laughing at the list. I know a number of the other cities pretty well and there's no comparison. Trying to pretend Nashville or Denver or Salt Lake City are more dangerous than Baltimore is plain ridiculous.

I don't find Baltimore a dangerous city, FYI. IT's poor and complex and dysfunctional, yes, but most of Baltimore is not dangerous. None of these cities on the joke list are really dangerous place. They do have areas with higher crime but the violent crime in most instances is very much a case of people who already know each other. [/quote]
