[QUOTE="Bebop, post: 576450, member: 5925"] I can only talk about the cities or places I've been to. Paris is one of them. And in my opinion "no-go zones" are not a thing. There is places that I wouldn't want to go at night, and places I wouldn't want to go at all. In fear for my safety. But you have those places in every major city. In the case of Paris, that "no-go zones" BS was made up by a journalist wanting some crunchy broadcast for the news. And we, as French people, have made fun of that idea many times. What they were talking about, because they were referring to actual places, is the ghettos we have. Those are sadly real and exist not only in Paris. They're places where people are parked there with no future or hopes for one. They originated from the 70's, after the economic crash when France was rebuilding itself and opened its borders for cheap foreign labor, and put those workers in said ghettos. With no issues whatsoever. But when work stopped coming, in the 90's, **** went south. And it's another testament proving France's big problem with jobs, but I'm side tracking. The vast majority of the crimes committed in those places are drug related, and this is endemic of a bunch of the big cities all over the world. About the idea of safety in your home, recent events are proving that idea wrong. Them ****ers have no problem coming in to destroy and kill. Or they are already amongst us. I don't see how staying in your country is safer than going abroad. And if you do so, you're doing exactly what those guys want. They want us fearing for our lives as we move and exist. I refuse to give up. I want to also mention that a big majority of the terrorist attacks happen in the Middle East and no one hear anything about that. The terrorists are not the majority, even there. Now, let's say you're traveling, use your brain. Of course I wouldn't want to go to N. Korea. Or a war zone. Or a ghetto in Paris. But who does that ? You have to be pretty much fearless or kinda dumb to go to those places. And I feel deeply sorry for that guy and his family, but going to N. Korea ? Come on ! The world is an amazing place. With so much to discover. Keeping on the France topic, it's a great country to explore. But don't go to Paris. Or do the Tour Eiffel and the Louvre museum for 2 days and take the train to south of France. Highly underrated IMO. And I can provide you with all the good places and stuff to do/see. And if you prefer to stay at home and not move, I'm in no place to judge. This is a free country right ? But who wouldn't want to explore the oldest city in Europe, admire the view from the top of the oldest basilica in Europe : [IMG]https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTp8DRTaWjtTIlnOjvC-OHI8Pgm66dBcIsReh0fcgO8zq1VltJGkg[/IMG] And finish the day by eating local food while watching the sunset on the Mediterranean Sea?
