Microsoft 'Avoid Ghetto' App Sparks Controversy

[Member243850]

I'm thinking that those objecting are (as usual) being rather idealistic with regard to how they want things to be. It's great to shoot for those ideals, but the real world is full of people just wanting to go about their daily tasks and business all the while increasing their chances of survival as best they can.

The shame is that something like this app is needed, not that it's there. Similar to burglar alarms, fire extinguishers and personal protection weapons and skills, etc. It's been going on forever. You would think that humanity would have resolved this junk by now.

Wow this is so true!

45000% correct Friscy!

The world is a sad mess that this crap is still around.

It really is depressing... make me feel like poo.

You think Cape Town is bad!

You aint seen jack yet!

Yes Cape Town has very high rapes and hi jackings, violent murders etc etc, but the rape capitol of the country is more than likely Joburg.

How freaking sad.

Joburg... nick name that some people call Johannesburg is sometimes referred to as the "Gangsta's Paradise".

I think it is more than likely in the top 5 cities in the world for crime alone. Cape Town is a heavenly "angel" compared to Joburg

Also Durban is waaaay worse than Cape Town too

When I used to live in Durban I got shot there for bugger all
It is riddled with serious extremely violent crimes and serious corruption.

Jo burg... wow... the last time I went there I remember like beggers on almost EVERY street corner.

Messed up.

Woooow I did not like that city.

DODGEY

There are just some places in SA you dare not tread unless you have a serious serious death wish and want to die.

If you are white and think it is a great idea to go lets say got o Du Noon which is a huuuuge scum infested and filled with racist scum just for example you just asking to be murdered.

If you guys think you have so called "Ghetto's" you aint seen nothing yet!

We have what we call "squatter camps" also known as feaking huuuuuge informal settlements.

Sometimes there are maybe 500 000 - 1 million approximately a pop, jobless and brainless people in these settlements there tons of them all of the country and because of this crime just goes right through the roof.

Crime and rape sky rockets faster than the speed of light...

Soweto is a freaking huge squatter camp filled with scum.

This is a photo of the average South African Home!!!

When I feel that way I remember that the bad feeling about all the messed up things going on is a part of humanity that's stronger than those messed up things. It's in all of us and that's why most people want to live in peace and actually most do. That's why the messed up things get our attention so quickly.
