I'm curious about what kind of things people are concerned about. Do you feel threatened by anything? What would you say the top three threats are to you?

Here's my answers.

1) Cars.
Partly because over here there are a lot of them and they're not driven very well, and partly because of the whole Global Warming / Pollution thing.

2) Global Warming.
Because, well, we're all going to die and all life on the planet will boil off as the greenhouse effect takes off.

3) People.
Hitler, Stalin, Bundy, Shipman, West. These were all people. People are, mostly, arseholes who want to hurt you. Fuckers.

SPOILERS! (Click to view)
I've put this here and not in Current Events because I want to find out what people really think, and I don't want it to devolve into a "What, you can't think that you right wing loon" etc.

There are no right or wrong answers but if someone is worrying about somethign and they have wrong information then I guess I welcome polite friendly corrections.

1. weather I'm a pussy and I can't get used to living in LA. I am constantly afraid that the earth will drop me in the ocean.

2. People - They are the self absorbed mean types that you describe them as. Times ten because I work in entertianment am looking for an agent.

3. Specifically, the rulers of my country. The powers that be suck.

1. unemployment, sounds silly maybe but i'm terrified i'm spending all this time and money in college only to end up with some job as a streetsweeper.

2. urbanisation for lack of a better word, cities are getting bigger, everythings getting more commercial and along with it people are getting jaded, more rude, less considerate of others, less cultural etc.
it's not really a aaaah i'm gonna die threat but society is eroding, over half the random strangers i meet in every day life are rude assholes that don't even stop to help a fellow human being in trouble and kids these days...
the six year olds in this neighbourhood can swear better than i ever could and you could name a dozen important books, movies, music or even historical events and odds are todays youth never even heard of it.
most knowledge kids have these days of the second world war is what they gleaned from battlefield 1942, which mostly amounts ot "WWII was cool".

3. random violence, random crime, murder and violence has skyrocketed in my country over a very short timespan.
i remember when murders were unique occurances that made headlines for days and guns were unheard of in my country.
in only a few years things went from that to the most horrible, rapes, murders and mutilations being daily occurances. (i feel it's a small mercy that people are still expressing shock at how quickly this became common and i fear the day we become jaded to that as well)
i don't feel unsave personally but the rise in violence has been so sudden it's staggering.

1. Cigarettes/Cancer. i smoke like a campfire and have no realistic intentions of quitting

2. Nuclear Capabilities. I think this touches on the 'people' threat

3. Mass Hypnotization or any mass that collectively believes in something that i disagree with. Even if i'm wrong, it's still threatening.

1) Ignorance - As it is the root cause of so many problems.

2) America - Yes I am an American but we scare me at this point in time. Collective sociopathy or mass hallucination - I am not sure yet. confused

3) Global Warming - I agree with you on this one. But I try not to think about it too much. Perhaps I should?

1. Illegal immigration ruining the country, watching them change the nature of the society in a way we didn't decide on, letting terrorists in. For example, see Snottlebocket's #3 reason.

2. Idea of Hillary as president.

That is about it.

liver failure isn't as much a threat as it is faulty genetics.

1. Dying. I don't really believe in God or an afterlife; not having a consciousness troubles me greatly.

2. The time before existence troubles me in retrospect. Thinking about how I didn't exist at one point.

3. The religious right. Makes. My. Blood. Boil.

4. The desire we seem to have to blow everything up these days.
