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!
I chime into things sometimes for fun, sometimes because I might have an opinion. Being afraid, I don’t think so, face death and win leads to not being afraid of anything. My saying is if whatever people do or thinks doesn’t affect my getting out of bed in the morning then I really don’t care.
