    alright, so it’s one in east asia, one in turkey, five in europe, and three in the usa. the europe/usa ratio roughly matches the population ratio. the point stands that it’s still very comparable by population (which a top ten cities list is not suited to describing)

      Ok but the US points in the pickpocket column are pretty low compared to Europe’s. Other forms of stealing are plenty common in America, it’s just that we’re a lot more likely to get shown a gun and asked to empty our pockets ourselves than have the thief covertly do it for us.

      USA has more land mass by leagues, so… Europe is still kicking ass based on area and probably on population, too. Three big US cities almost certainly doesnpt equal up to many Euro cities…

      Your attempts to twist this narrative are hilarious, but it’s also so, so sad…
