One of the things that seems to be repeated constantly in threads here is that people "worry" or "are afraid" of things, often as a result of misinformation.

I really don't get this. Are you all really afraid of everything?

And I don't worry about much of anything, and I am certainly afraid of even less. But, that doesn't mean I don't lock my car when I go shopping, that is not fear or worry, that is just caution.

Do you have home owners insurance? Do you WORRY about you house every day? Or is that just a reasonable precaution?

Do you wear seat belts, because you are afraid? and on and on...

I am actually very interested in how you all feel about this. Is it just a way to disrespect someone you disagree with, or do you really believe the only reason someone would disagree with your common sense is that they are afraid - terrorized!
