...former Dateline anchor Stone Phillips concedes that "... in many cases, the decoy is the first to bring up the subject of sex." (Phillips defends this, saying that "... once the hook is baited, the fish jump and run with it like you wouldn't believe.")[9] Montopoli contends that this alone may render Predator-related cases vulnerable to the defense of entrapment...

My daughter lives in Oakland and out of the four different areas she has lived since being in California she feels safer there than any of the others...

You're a straight up loon. This is the last I've got to say to you.

I took a drink and asked if he minded if I smoked. He asked "Tobacco?" I said "Of course", he said "You need to go up on the roof."
I did, smoked my ciggy, drank my beer. When I got back to his office, they were all smoking pot!
I made my excuses and left. Fscking hippies!

Some parts are really nice, My SIL lived in Emeryville (well thats what she said) but she was right on the edge of Oakland and Emeryville in a lovely building never any problems. I also hear the the Oakland hills is a nice area.

Re: How safe is your neighbourhood,location!
The reason I ask this question is because yesterday, whilst chatting on my cell phone, I missed the turn to SF and ended up in the middle of Oakland 
...now there is not much that scares me but OMFG!! I drove for 11miles through the streets and it was full of black folk and Mexicans, now I am not racist but I did not see 1 white face NOT one and had they of all looked pleasant my opinion may of been different but it was flippen scary..the truck went into lock all doors and the baseball hat went on, while I prayed that no one saw a blonde chic and no one rear ended me or I them, as there was no way in hell I was getting out of that truck.........I have seen it on the TV show and now I have lived it the roughest, dirty, scary hole ever, I have been to some poor countrys and seen some things but that was expected, what I saw and felt yesterday was not.
So have you ever been scared in a difficult situation, or is the neighbourhood rough where you are?
Before anyone starts I have many Black and Espanic friends it's just a comment on my observations yesterday

Funny thing is - I drove into Oakland for dinner Saturday night - to one of our favorite restaurants, 'Pho 84' - a fantastic Vietnamese place on 17th just off Telegraph. The area is not as bad as west Oakland, but the restaurant has been held up a few times! But the food is sooo good!
Article - extract: "Pho 84 at 354 17th St., robbed April 8"As for where I live ... we forget to lock our doors half the time, and there hasn't been an incident in the past 15 years I've been there ...
