This is about as close as you can get to a third world city, only it's in the USA!

Out of curiosity, have you lived and/or traveled in any of the third world cities listed?

We could stand to be far less violent, and compared to many US places Detroit has more crime, but if people truly think that Detroit is one of the world's most dangerous cities, then they can't also adhere to American exceptionalism and be logically consistent. But usually people who believe the former also believe the latter.

Yeah, I'm really curious of what criteria the people in this thread are basing their comparisons of Detroit with third world cities. Detroit and Baghdad? Really??? When has there ever been a bombing in Detroit that killed nearly 100 people at once? This entire discussion is completely ridiculous.
