November 7, 200619 yr W00T! Number 41, if being in the suburbs counts. Washington DC for the win! ~Foolgool The code in my sig should say 1032 not 0132.
November 7, 200619 yr For any of the Non-Brits that are wondeing what'Brap' means, it is the mating call of the common English Chav AH! Lol calling me a chav now! :o Couldn't be further from it! Haha pretty true though nonetheless- mating call, lol. SHH HUT YUH MUH. DERKHED.
November 7, 200619 yr Ooh top 10 ;D I must admit, Sydney's a pretty awesome city to live in. I'm not suprised by the results though.
November 7, 200619 yr Heck, why isn't my city up there? We have the second highest violent crime rate in America! With such fun and excitement, surely my city is better than all of those. :P "In so far as I am Man I am the chief of creatures. In so far as I am a man I am the chief of sinners." - G.K. Chesterton
November 7, 200619 yr Sault St. Marie<-Worst Canadian City Ever heard of Welland? :P Hmm nope. I've only been to various cities in Canada, mostly in Ontario: Guelph, Sarna, Hamilton, Barrie, Toronto, Ottawa, Kingston, Peterborough, Owen Sound, Sudbury, SSM, Kitchener, Stratford, Oakville, Mississauga, Oshawa, Belleville, Brampton, London, Windsor, Vancouver, Montreal, Quebec City, yea that's about it, so I've never heard of Welland. I live in Sarnia. :) Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference.
November 7, 200619 yr LOL, one country in the UK and it's London?! No way... Pretty cool though=] thanks. Which Final Fantasy Character Are You?Final Fantasy Currently Listening To ~ Hotel California / The Eagles
November 7, 200619 yr Heck, why isn't my city up there? We have the second highest violent crime rate in America! With such fun and excitement, surely my city is better than all of those. :P I didn't know you lived in D Town! :P Hey, that's cool, now Detroits almost got 2 titles. Most fatest, and second most dangerous. Wow, that sounds like a wonderful place to live. Me doing staff.
November 8, 200619 yr I live about 50 miles away from Chicago. But I live in the suburbs. I hear our county is the second richest county. I know its not by counties. But I see no cities from our county there. Training my pure!

November 8, 200619 yr Where's MIDDELBURG!? Dam you, where's ENKHUIZEN? :lol: What defines it as the ''best'' city anyway? A lazy editor who doesn't do research. Clearly, they are just thinking of cities off of the top of thier heads. All 50 of the best cities to live in would have populations less than 100,000. Are you being sarcastic? I don't believe he is. Those aren't the actual 50 better cities to live in: of curse it'd be better to live in some small town up on the Swiss Alps. At least I'd prefer to. Also, assuming those are the 50 better cities to live in just based on numbers and statistics is pretty lame, if you ask me. ^The most disturbing signature on Tip.it^Last.fm|HELLY KAYLA!|Oh the mehagurtz!|#Siencemakers"they care less about their spelling mistakes then I." - Lionheart"apinagez... let me

Baltimore es numero uno, Detroit es numero dos from the stats I found.

November 8, 200619 yr St. Louis sucks! Trix.--quit WoW as of 12/07Thank you 4be2jue for the wonderful sig and avatar!

I'm sorry, nothing was taken out. *sigh* Ever thought that maybe the little 'numbers and statistics' for the other cities aren't high enough to make it on the list? You know, for someone who's such an advocate of science, you're singing a different tune. :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 ::
November 8, 200619 yr My city, Glasgow isn't on the list. Closest is London though how it ever made it onto that list?... I'll never know
November 8, 200619 yr I'm sorry, nothing was taken out. *sigh* Ever thought that maybe the little 'numbers and statistics' for the other cities aren't high enough to make it on the list? You know, for someone who's such an advocate of science, you're singing a different tune. Let me explain myself better then. I believe the list isn't accurate not only because only a handful of cities were considered, but because "the best city" isn't a cientifical concept. Better standards of health, education, pollution, etc are, but those don't mean a city is the best. There are much more subtle variables involved. ^The most disturbing signature on Tip.it^Last.fm|HELLY KAYLA!|Oh the mehagurtz!|#Siencemakers"they care less about their spelling mistakes then I." - Lionheart"apinagez... let me
November 9, 200619 yr Author Let me explain myself better then.

Better standards of health, education, pollution, etc are, but those don't mean a city is the best. There are much more subtle variables involved. Being scientific isn't always limited to the run of the mill biology, physics, and chemistry you know. Science is a system consisted of observations and deductions to arrive to a conclusion. Like what they did with those little numbers and statistics. Like I said earlier those 'subtle variables' are preferences. The same way I believe that my hometown is one of the greatest places on earth. But once you remove that bias and look at something as a whole, you get to a much accurate conclusion. *psst* You know.. you really shouldn't be the one to correct Lionheart's spelling in every post. :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 ::

But once you remove that bias and look at something as a whole, you get to a much accurate conclusion. By Science, we both mean statistics, I suppose. By subtle variables I mean, for instance, certain kinds of less serious crimes. In many occasions, those aren't reported to the police, and thus are not counted on the statistics. Numbers are way too absolute to measure wellness. Besides, that isn't a very good research.

November 9, 200619 yr How is Boston on this list? I live in Boston and I don't think it's that great. There's a high crime rate and not to mention whats going on with the big dig and the tunnels. The cost of living in Massachusetts is high also. Now if you think about the stadiums we have for sports that would maybe justify Boston being on this list :wink: . go patriots

November 9, 200619 yr I live just outside of Toronto and I'm not surprised to see it on the list. It's a great city. It's obvious that designer towns with names like "Autumn Acres" or "Paradise Falls" will have less crime and pollution than Paris or New York. However, looking at the list you can see that these cities are all on that would be considered "world class" in size. None of the places on this list are close to perfect. Heck, there is a lot of crime in Toronto but it's probably safer than 95% of the world's major cities. I know the price. I pay it gladly.
November 9, 200619 yr This survey only surved (sp?) major cities. And by that, I mean major cities. I'm surprised DÃÆÃâÃâüsseldorf and Bern are on here. Me doing staff.
