I think Argentina has one of the worst traffic accident rate in the whole world...

BUENOS AIRES, Jul 27 (IPS) - Traffic accidents in Argentina have been claiming an average of 20 lives a day over the past decade, making it the top country in Latin America for these tragedies. They are also the main cause of death among people under 35, but in spite of this there are no official plans to end the slaughter on the roads.

Traffic accidents are the main cause of death among young people, and the third cause of death throughout the population, after heart disease and cancer. The road will continue to claim victims at a voracious rate until preventive measures are taken.

My country is pretty much fucked up right now lol.

That, on the other hand, is completely true and not exaggerating a single bit, it's one of the reasons why I'm not too interested in learning how to drive. The amount of crashes and deaths is simply ridiculous. There are even stupid people who do street races in the middle of the city.

I don't know how people can be so mindless

Yea, it's not like we have gang shootings almost every day =)

 

Their gang war will end a couple weeks or so........I hope. Or I hope they all shoot each other until they're gone. Either way.

Well, Philadelphia has someone dead everyday but there are "safe" areas and "dangerzones"

Well it's pretty safe here in our region. There was just a gun rampage, where 16 people died, 50 miles away from my village but that's not relevant =)



Take a look at my photos on flickr

Crime rate here is so bad, that if you call 911, the average time it takes for police to show up at your door is 3-4 hours. :P

We live right in the city too, not way out in the country.

I don't know how to actually look up the crime rate, but I've never seen any crimes yet and I've lived here for about a year. They must be happening somewhere though... most likely in the gang areas downtown.
