There is no such  thing as security.  Given that your decisions will not be based on fear.  to seek security is a fool's errand and will never lead to sound policy.

If you give up freedom for security, you'll end up with neither.  This is paraphrasing a statement made by that Ben Franklin guy several years ago :)  I think it's true, though.  Who cares if you are safe, if you have no freedom? If I locked you up in a box and kept you under my bed, I could totally protect you and keep you safe from everything... but would it be worth it?

Don't you worry, it is safe.

I grew up in Detroit which is pretty damn crazy.  I've experienced a lot of bad things - people getting beat with bats, friends  getting killed, friends being robbed.  It definitely does not desensitize me. It makes me scared to go back to the inner part of Detroit since i've moved out to the suburbs.

If you are not safe, you are not free.  Many times, when a person was attacked (be it rape, robbery, whatever) I have heard people say things like, "Well, she should not have gone to the mall by herself at night.  It's not safe."  Or, "Well, he should not have driven through that neighborhood." So, how free are we if a law-abiding citizen "is not supposed to" go out where they want to legally go?  \n\nI have nothing against security measures such as cameras in parks, parking lots, etc.  The camera does not prevent you from doing one legal thing.

there is no place on earth that there is no danger, in the north you got snow storms, temperate zones like cali and ten and others got either earthquakes or tonadoes. the topics like the caribbean got hurricanes and with hurricanes there is flooding, high speed winds. and lets not forget about volcanoes, tidal waves and the list goes on. no place on earth is safe i would say.

well, I have to tell something. I'm from an  Arabian country so, I do know this country very well. it's safe but   there is no freedom when you go there forget about  the freedom ,you won't be able to do whatever you want cause it's conservative country ,, they are strict but in general don't worry about  the safety it's safe, \nvenus

I believe that some one (well, specifically a newspaper journalist) has done some checking and found (from court records, one assumes) that child murder has stayed more or less constant (and very low) over the past 50 years or so. That statistic implies that children are as safe now as ever they were, but the public  _perception_,  due to a few high profile cases, and publicised heavily by the media,   is that every child is in danger from every adult male - which is a gross insult to 99.9 percent of men.  Such a view has resulted in a lost and bewildered child in a shopping mall being ignored by males in case they are accused of molestation; in fewer men going in for primary school teaching (hence male role models are reduced); and a fall off in men and (women for that matter)  taking leadership positions in youth organisations, from cadets to scouts, guides etc., for fear of being accused of misconduct.\nIt comes to something when an adult of the 'tribe' can not comfort a small member of the tribe who has, for example,  fallen over, or is  in distress for some reason.  I recall as small boy walking into a bus stop post,  badly cutting my head.  A man came over to help, put his handkerchief on my bleeding scalp, held my hand and walked me home.  My mother was so grateful that some one had cared enough to help her son.  Today, that man no doubt would have left me alone  in case he was viewed as a paedophile.   What a sorry state our society has entered.

I have been in nairobi, the capital of kenya. It was like 15 years ago but it was safe. A lot of english speakers so it should not be too difficult to get around and stuff.

It depends, whether or not they are safe there. I don't think we should sacrifice our common history just to satisfy one people’s pride or greed.

Well, it's overall quite safe as long as you don't let go of the bar...

Yes, it has made me realize that all the things can change in the blink of an eye.  That no matter how safe we are we are never totally safe.  I value my country more as my protector and stand behind their decision's right or wrong I still feel that action was taken with my best interests at heart.
