According to their stats you're more likely to be assaulted,raped and or kidnapped in Canada than you are in Mexico,somehow I find that hard to believe.

Crimes are more likely to be reported NoB and become statistics?

Agreed. Since many crimes aren't even reported here then I would think trying to make any comparison is a waste of time.viajero wrote:According to their stats you're more likely to be assaulted,raped and or kidnapped in Canada than you are in Mexico,somehow I find that hard to believe.

They claim that the numbers in their charts are adjusted to reflect unreported crimes.They have an agenda and personally I think they're full of baloney.

If you think Mexico is safe, drive the Libramento a few times a week. Never try this at night. I am used to occasional impatience, drunks, inexperience, insecure loads, and macho - but a small portion of Mexican drivers are downright homicidal!

Who cares? This is our home so we have to just just roll with it. When things get unsafe where you are at the moment you go home or whatever. Who cares how safe or unsafe it is somewhere else? We don't live there.
Those " facts " are not interesting, they are absurd.

Dig deep into the website since they don't make it easy but you will find that Black Label is a PR Marketing firm hired by the Resort Trade to develop a positive spin.

You got that right. I was attacked by a throw rug, then assaulted by the tile floor and now, 15 weeks later, just beginning to walk again.........hockables wrote:Safer than your Bathroom

I always wonder how they are able to include statistics on something that was not reported.viajero wrote:They claim that the numbers in their charts are adjusted to reflect unreported crimes.They have an agenda and personally I think they're full of baloney.
86% of all quoted statistics are made up on the spot. There. That's another one.

Maybe they call up the statistician and say...."I want to report a crime that I did not report".addtocart wrote:I always wonder how they are able to include statistics on something that was not reported.viajero wrote:They claim that the numbers in their charts are adjusted to reflect unreported crimes.They have an agenda and personally I think they're full of baloney.

Interesting, maybe. Facts, hmmmm. The site claims that kidnappings are 8X more likely to happen in Canada. My goodness, I had no idea. http://howsafeismexico.com/global_crime_rates.htmlitsme wrote:Here are some interesting facts:

On the other hand, if anyone actually believes this stuff, I have a foolproof business proposition that requires a savvy investor just like you! Friends of mine happen to own the biggest gopher ranch in Saskatchewan, and we're offering you a chance to buy into a brand-new business opportunity. Gophers are popular pets in Japan, as you know, but you probably didn't realize that they are also a tasty low-fat alternative to commercially raised chickens. I probably shouldn't tell you this, so don't spread it around, but KFC is about to announce a partnership that will give my friends exclusive rights to the KFC subsidiary, the Cantucky Fried Gopher franchise! Unfortunately my friends are slightly undercapitalized and they're quietly seeking business partners, which is where you can jump in. You will have your fortune made in no time! Your investment will include your share of the mandatory kidnapping insurance which all Canadian businesses must provide for their employees. How safe is this fantastic business venture? Safer than a pleasant Sunday drive through Michoacán - you have my solemn word!

my friends in saskatchewan participate in the north saskatchewan river seal hunt in downtown saskatoon every spring. would your gopher ranchers be involved in this lucrative endeavour too?
