NYC's murder rate of 4 per 100000 tracks closely to the US overall rate of 3.8. There aren't easily sourced stats for Jerusalem, but Israel as a whole has a murder rate of 1.8 per 100000. Unless Jerusalem is exceptionally much worse than the rest of Israel (for which I have no data either way) then I'd have to conclude that Jerusalem is indeed on the same safety level with NYC, or slightly better.

I have to admit these numbers surprised me.

Keith 05-13-2016 08:59 PM

What?

flerchin 05-13-2016 09:50 PM

You are twice as likely to be murdered in the the US as in Israel. Both places have low murder rates.

I don't know how to write it more simply.

Keith 05-13-2016 11:17 PM

America is a planet compared to Israel. Great reporting.

Mermaid 05-14-2016 06:11 PM

But the stats he gave were per 100,000 people. So the population size difference is accounted for.

My fiance talked about us getting married for over two years before he asked and I always half jokingly told him, "you know this doesn't count as a birthday or xmas present right?" to dissuade him from asking on a holiday. I don't think it's really materialistic, because I don't even really give that much of a shit about the ring (or about getting a band to add to it when we get married) but, Chemda's right. It's more about the day (me vs us). Xmas is important to me (for nonreligious reasons) so to make it about being engaged would take all the xmas fun out of it.

The Type A in me looooves planning this wedding. But by no means should that be taken as having a "big american wedding". It's 35 people and my dress cost $90. I'd rather run literal mushy shit through my fingers than spend 10k on a day and not a downpayment for a house.

Sparrow 05-15-2016 09:26 PM

i did all the traditional wedding things the first go 'round. no regrets.

this time, i'd much rather Bear get me a chest freezer than make me a wife. i mean, those things /do not/ quit runnin'. when you buy a chest freezer, it's a 30 year commitment to properly accommodating properties. they're like hope chests for game meats and casseroles; what homes are made of.

Keith 05-15-2016 09:37 PM

Too bad you can't get married AND get a chest freezer.

Such is life.

Sparrow 05-15-2016 10:05 PM

i'd get married if i had more title options.

Sparrow 05-15-2016 10:35 PM

plus, i'll never be too pissed as to walk out on a chest freezer.

Sparrow 05-15-2016 11:24 PM

Sarge and i were young and short-sighted, so we dropped about 5K at Tiffany's in Atlanta on our wedding rings while he was on leave. a part of me wishes i'd kept mine instead of selling it to go to KATG week. but, i'm sentimental.

Sparrow 05-16-2016 09:52 AM

this is super true. here's a funny video about it:


Sparrow 05-16-2016 04:09 PM

it's a rite of passage. you wanna talk extravagant? you ever been to a desi wedding? we're not talking shit about that circus.

WORD. Jewelry stores are a scam in general, usually 100% markup on everything in the store. I've heard it's as high as 300% for engagement rings.

Our budget is 3-4k to ensure everyone gets good food and great booze. We'll see if I hit it. We're not having a photographer or flowers or a bridal party so here's hoping.

Getting our dogs was, for me, like okay, we are a family now. I remember over a year after my bf moved in with me I went on his phone plan and he was like "omg, this is a big deal!" :rolleyes: So, you know, different strokes.

Oh, and my sister married her bf of over ten years at city hall with only my mom as witness solely because they're trying to adopt and it'd be easier that way and my brother married his wife by calling her up during lunch, asking, going to city hall, having tacos, and then going back to their respective jobs. I'm the baby, the problem child with tattoos and odd hair and I'm going the most traditional out of all of us!

and, fuck it, parties are fun! celebrations are fun! an excuse for everybody to come together to share and bask in the love of your community and each other is a worthwhile thing.

i will always stand on the side of Joy.

Sparrow 05-18-2016 07:36 AM

here in America, there are times we allow ourselves our own versions of impractical excess. we invented Treat Yo Self. respect our culture, Apia.

A what dress? 30 30 000?

Can we stop pretending these typos are because of some second language?

Sparrow 05-18-2016 04:46 PM

i think as a proper act of contrition for offending our way of life you should offer to eat six burgers stacked on top of a taco salad.

iheartnihilism 05-19-2016 09:02 PM

My dress, if i go with the original choice will be $89. if i go with this new one I found, will be $190. And im still gonna look hot as hell. Apia, no one needs a 3k dress. I don't begrudge anyone that (well okay maybe a little) but that's not me.

Keith 05-20-2016 12:21 AM

You wish.

Sparrow 05-20-2016 03:43 PM

what's insane about flag retiring protocol?

Sparrow 05-20-2016 05:08 PM

ASSIMILATE!!!!!!!

When you joked about how great America is, it was the only time you didn't make any typos.

Interesting.

Sparrow 05-20-2016 05:59 PM

p.s. educate yourself

Keith 05-20-2016 11:57 PM

All your fucked up grammar made for the perfect joke. The long con. I like it.

When America gets a culture we'll start respecting it I'm sure.
