if you ever get to meet me youll know that Im in no way a super macho kindof a guy!
thats like the dumbess thing Ive ever heard!
in fact Im just about as liad back as any person can be
read on and MAYBE youll understand the written word of the guy thats,"so afraid of your own shadow all the time/living in constant fear of everything"
thats the dumbest thing ive ever heard! if you knew me and hung out with me just for a day youd be apologizing for the dumbess assumption youve ever made
well maybe not the dumbess YOUVE ever made, Im sure there has been others
I understand where you are coming from. I guess its a geographical thing.
In my case, These people who dont understand dont work in Riviera Beach,
FL, for instance, one of THE most scary and crime ridden areas in FL like I do.
Its not a case of 'being able to take another route' etc. Of course you use your
head, change routes every day etc, but there is very real possibility statistically
speaking, that you will suffer some type of violence weekly as I do with verbal
taunts and seriously aggressive panhandling from crackheads. Im the MOST peaceful,
laidback person I know but I feel better carrying something that might save myself
from a serious injury should I suffer a level of violence over what I suffer now. I used
to laff at this stuff until it applied to me. I can only opine that people who dont understand this more often than nots travels dont take them into very violent areas.
Its ironic that if a
"I dont need a helmet for safety' thread comes up most
people chastise the poster and give horror stories of all their freinds and relatives and
cousins of girlfriends uncle who are vegitables now from no helmet but post something
like this about another very real danger and you have some type of mental shortcoming
or are scared of the world, etc......Go figure
