"Aussies safer in a strip club than a church"

[Washington]

"THEY may be holy places of worship and reflection, but new figures show you may not be as safe in a NSW church as you are at a strip club or in a brothel.

The latest data, compiled by the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research, showed 1600 people were charged with committing a range of 27 offences in the state's "places of worship'' in 2008.

Surprisingly, the figures showed only 282 people were charged in premises classified as adult entertainment over the same offences.

"Most people would think of churches and synagogues as sanctuaries in society,'' he said.

"But maybe that's naive, because the statistics show they are likely to rob, assault or steal from people there like anywhere else. The figures are genuinely surprising.''

Ah, sure you would , and take her along. She might enjoy it.

And how many people go to church compared to going to strip clubs?

And maybe the fact that strip clubs usually have some kind of security staff whose job it is to screen entrants and prevent and put a stop to prohibited behavior has something to do with this, as opposed to churches which have no dedicated security staff and no screening on entry.

This would be shocking news, if it wasn't in Australia. Those darn convicts...

You are much safer going to a gun fight on the moon than going to a police station.

Last year, while x number of people got hurt while visiting a police station, 0 people were hurt visiting a gun fight on the moon.


Lets see some numbers per capita, then we can talk.

Puts a whole new perspective on Sunday morning.

Good news: The church is reaching the sinners.

Bad news: they haven't given up thier sins yet.

Marijuana used in church up,
marijuana used in strip clubs down. I guess you don't want to be wasted watching the ladies.

Wrong injuries from gun fights on the moon have risen to 77.3% from 5 years ago this comes from the foundation of nonsensical data
