Well I was just in Istanbul, Turkey and I could tell there were some pretty sketchy places. Also Russia is fucking skeeetchy. I was there and no one really realizes what they have been through, everyone is very sullen. It gets prettty ghetto in Russia.

it was actually pretty safe when saddam was in power because people were too scared to do shit with him as leader.

I still don't understand how anyone could post a single US city as an example.  There is no comparison between the US and other places around the world.  Not even close.

ya dude. its weird you wouldn't expect hartford to be one of the poorest cities in the u.s when the rest of ct is loaded. everyone works in hartford, but lives in the burbs.

completley true, compare the worst parts of the US to almost anywhere in sub-saharan africa. Baghdad is probabaly the most dangerous city in the world right now though, so im going to have to say thats the most ghetto. the entire gaza strip is pretty shitty too. cairo too, shit goes down in cairo, its sad how violent so many places are.

guys keep in mind that a ghetto should be in a good city. so like your in a good city going for a walk from your hotel and all the sudden you cross some line and get mugged. So places like rio de janario count but mogadishu doesnt because mogadishu has no nice part to it

relatively speaking, for the richest country in the world, there are some pretty big ghettos and social disparities in the US.

I forgot to mention , and I think it takes the cake, Sao Paulo. One of the largest cities in the world, with literally MILLIONS of people living in slums and ghettos. Tons of gun fights every day. Cartels everywhere, remember the jail takeover two years ago where they beheaded the prison guards?

I was from my friend who did semester at sea and went a shitload of places that India had the worst poverty that he'd seen. South Africa was also bad.

I still say Baghdad.

man... people are so clueless, referring to a "ghetto" as a really sketchy place. A ghetto is a place where a certain group is concentrated to be put a part from society (i.e. during world war 2 the jews where kept in jewish ghettos, black people in southern america where kept in black ghettos, etc.)

yeah dude, or the civic center. i saw a crackhead grab a pigeon, throw it at a bench to kill it, roll around for a while, and then huck the pigeon into an outhouse, and all the other junkies were just lying there looking shiftily at everyone. i'm pretty white so i was sketched haha.

FLINT MI, Northeast side is the second most violent ghetto in the country next to New Orleans. Flint just doesn't get noticed because of it's size. I'll hang in the worst part of Detroit, Chicago, LA before hanging out in the ghetto in Flint, this city is wasted if you are white and have all of your teeth you stay out of Flint.

as a south African, im here to tell you, it is the worst country in terms of violence in the world.

familys are pulled out of their cars, shot on site, and left to die and no one around them will even bat an eyelid.

when i was there this summer, the day we landed, two white families (im not racist, its just the situation there) were pulled out of their vans and killed. three 9 year old twin girls, a 2 year old boy their mother and father, their 6 year old cousin and 12 year old cousin, and aunt and uncle were all killed and died on the scene.

its not cool cuz its dangerous, its sad that thats where my home has gotten to.
