But ladders???
Don't let's forget the ladders...huh?

Thank you for understanding the patently obvious reality that it is more productive to be concerned about falling off a ladder than about dying in a terrorist attack.

If only the rest of Western society could grasp probability with the same level of rationality.

There is a wide gap between being "overly cautious" and scared.
I buy car insurance, and never had an insurable accident in 50+ years of driving!


and your insurance analogy is apt in this situation because...............


as has been pointed out, we don't have a choice when it comes to buying insurance. We do have a choice as to whether or not we run around crying like limp wristed idiots telling everyone that doesn't have the intelligence not to listen, that we are all gonna be over run, raped, killed, and/or forced into servitude.


THE ISLAMISTS ARE COMING, THE ISLAMISTS ARE COMING!

Don't matter - you can flip a coin 1000 times and because every flip was a "head" doesn't mean the next one is going to be. :) :)

...well in the end (where some seem to be taking it, as they are all butt hurt) the California attack was Muslim Terrorists, the Paris attack was Muslim Terrorists... and a greater majority of attacks these days are from Muslim Terrorists.

So go ahead say it; "Muslim Terrorists." Let it out, you'll feel so much better accepting it. :lol:

!
Because it is to the point.....
I would buy car insurance even If I didn't have to...
I also buy house insurance and I don't have to....
Being cautious with my life is more important than the damn house!

I think we're living in the good old days. All this stuff will only get worse. A lot worse.

Yep, but a house can come in handy for a place to live. :)
