Not really.... If 1000 people get mugged in city X and 10 in city Y - City Y is "in the mean" safer. YOu ca play with numbers all you like but facts are still facts.

Never seen the latter - its healthy debating SA style.

Well without getting into a debate - which I wont. If city x has a population of 100,000,000 people and city y has a population of only 10.........!!! Or if city x reported all their muggings and city y didnt cos they were all too shy...... You see there is always an argument to be had, so theres no point! And this forum isnt political, its for information and advise about relocating!

I used to work for an independent company that was responsible for collating study information, facts, figures and surveys for the pharmaceutical industry and trust me, you can make any figures say what you want them to with a little "massaging" and if a particular company were paying us, then their product came out top!

Totally agreed, as I hate it too when views are thrown around with no prior knowledgde or proof. Every one loves their country of origin, or like I should rather say.

No use painting a bad picture for every one else, as most of us have families back home, whom we love and no use pretending when we are their just to get back to your new country of residence to spoil your memory of what is your beautiful country. Tolerance and respect goes along way, we should all try that some time.

An the name calling, lets leave that for the play ground!

Ive been on SA forums for years and discussions often do get a bit heated, mainly because of the differing points of views about quite important issues.

People just need to remember that getting aggressive on a forum really doesn't get you anywhere .... best just to debate in a friendly fashion

Sure, but moderators need to understand the background before getting their knickers in a knot over something they don't understand.

I don't see how that has anything to do with insults and name calling? One doesn't need to have lived in South Africa to "moderate" that - what forum users are allowed and not allowed to do is in the forum rules, simple as that.

Anyways, now you have your own SA mod so no excuses to behave now
