That is completely false. National crime statistics have been on a downward trend for more than a decade! You are way way safer today than you were 20 years ago.
The rediculus levels of hype that each crime gets is a product of the invention of the 24 hour news station. They have to fill all those hours with something and nothing is quite as exciting and dramatic as the lastest kidnapping / missing person.
Americans have become obsessed with fear of crime to near neurotic levels.

Actually not really true in CoH.
I played for several months, during the period where Fire Blasters were Uber (Main AoE Damage class). And every single person you ran into was a Fire Blaster pretty much. It was practicaly impossible not to form a group of all AoE characters.
There were many evenings that I would group with 3 - 4 Fire blasters and thats it no other classes. Just like the parent poster mentioned we droup entire crowds of bad guys with the opening blow.
Eventually I stopped needing the other blasters at all and simply took on giant crowds of Yellow and Orange mobs solo. 2 shots, move ot next group.
So I too dropped CoH pretty quickly.
It is possible to design websites correctly for multiple monitor resolutions. It takes some carefull thought and planning ahead, which never happens usually, but it is possible. I just finished developing a webapplication that needed to run on very high end medical imaging displays. 4000 x 3000 approximate resolution. The same pages had to be legible on regular monitors as well. It was tough but with proper use of em fonts sizing and relative spacing it worked out pretty nicely.

It's quite possible that you are dyslexic. I am, and have many of the same issues.
