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. Bureau director Don Wedderburn said the data showed people were just as likely to be assaulted or robbed in the sanctity of a church as they were on the streets. "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.'' A breakdown of the figures showed that 85 people were assaulted in places of worship, compared to 66 at an adult entertainment premises. According to the report, places of worship include churches, synagogues, monasteries, mosques, convents, cathedrals and chapels. Premises listed under adult entertainment included strip clubs, sex shops, brothels, massage parlours, homosexual clubs, gaming houses as well as gambling clubs. Places of worship were also ahead on sexual offences (16), theft from motor vehicles (33), resisting arrest (seven) and liquor offences (10). Harassment and threatening behaviour at places of worship (30) was more than double that of adult entertainment (13). Two people were charged with possessing or using marijuanain places of worship. The figure was a 90 per cent decrease on the previous year, when 20 people were charged with the offence. Only one person was charged with the offence at an adult entertainment premises in 2008. [/release] Just one more reason not to go to church.
A church, a brothel, who cares. Either way you're getting fucked
[QUOTE]A breakdown of the figures showed that 85 people were assaulted in places of worship, compared to 66 at an adult entertainment premises.[/QUOTE]Those are some dodgy statistics. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure there are far more people that go to churches than strip clubs. I'm not trying to defend religion or anything, but it makes me facepalm when I see 'statistics' like that.
good point
Well great. [editline]04:45PM[/editline] Time to start going to church. I mean a strip club. What.
Still rather would go to strip club than church. :buddy:

Australia bans church. But seriously, strip clubs and the like have some pretty bulky bouncers. I don't see em around churches.
Just to point out as well, there's a fuckload more chuches than adult entertainment places.
:q:
"the figures showed only 282 people were charged in premises classified as adult entertainment [B]over the same offences.[/B]" Shitty "study"

At least it hasn't been blown up yet, that shows there is at least some tolerance for them. Obviously this is just a statistical point that doesn't really prove much, it's just a bit of a laugh. Still, 1600 incidents over just 2008, more than 4 every day. Churches sound like fun places.

[QUOTE=JDK721;21321421]ITT: everyone will accept the statistics as fact[/QUOTE] It's a good excuse. Why not take advantage of it?
I love NSW. :downs:
Strip clubs have security.
goto a good strip bar atleast. Because if they make him an alter boy, he is going to be happy to goto "church" everyday.
[QUOTE=Zemog;21322274]It's a good excuse. Why not take advantage of it?[/QUOTE] Because this is what teenagers/idiots/members of this forum use to back them up wrongly.
It's no surprise really. In church they talk about nailing people to crosses, drinking another person's blood, people being stoned to death and sacrificing children.
Yesh, thish is what i like to shee
