"WTB port to Claremont"

lol, that's hilarious

I think it's ok to take risks in life if one wants to and while that's definitely a risk I actually don't think it's that big of a deal

Man, why are people so paranoid. No wonder you whine about meeting others if you welcome everyone with fear. The world isn't made of bad people by default. The default is decent human beings with a small chance there's a creepy weirdo (the wrong kind of creepy weirdo) around.

So so paranoid.
40yo geek probably just wanted some socializing, Blizzard geek wanted to get lucky. Neither seem to have crossed any lines.

Seriously. I feel sorry for the people who got taught this irrational fear of other human beings. The world would be such a nicer place if not so many people were afraid of people.

In all fairness, I think it's a bit different for girls than for guys. Not that I am entirely disagreeing or anything. Dangerous weirdos definitely do exist, just not very commonly.

I often wonder how characters like this come about; was there a board meeting where they decided it should be a dog instead of a person? Did someone sit down and said,

People will definitely pay attention to what a dog has to say.

It seems crazy.

I'm learning a lot from this blog.

Agreed^

Especially since it was Blizzcon. I couldn't imagine someone who would go to Blizzcon would have some kind of willpower to actually hurt someone.

Cynicism. The world would be better without it. I still remember Conan's last words on his previous show because of his words about this.

Dance.

Its not about being cynical, its about being smart...

Youd have to be really really naive to think that just because you are at blizzcon, everyone is a good person and trust worthy. Especially when you are in a whoreish outfit...i mean costume... and broadcasting that you are by yourself.

Maybe if people were more "cynical" there would be a lot less rape and abusr in the world.

And i dont think Conan was reffering to rape (or worse) as things that dont turn out exactly like they should when talking about the consequences of "cynicism" in this case

I have my ticket for my fourth, thanks to Lysenko <3 <3 <3

Thanks so much for the shout-out! Always happy to help a fellow Mudder get a Blizzcon ticket. :D

No, it was more like (and I've been in meetings where I've heard people say this):

Kids love animation. Animated characters are all animals. What kind of animal shall it be?

People are hypersensitive about perceived risk of associating with strangers. I have a friend from my college class who, when she was 18, hitchhiked all the way up and down the West Coast. Now if you want to shake your head at someone who may have actually been taking a risk with her life, she'd be a better subject.

Many of today's parents think it's wrong to let their kids leave the house alone before they're 16 or something like that, because of the incredibly tiny handful of stranger child abductions in a nation of 300+ million people. Wouldn't hurt to have the pendulum swing the other direction for a bit so that we don't wind up with a nation of distrustful shut-ins.

Needless to say, I wasn't raised like that.

As for Riku's story, there's no way that the point to that story was "look at how cool I am for taking all these risks." It was more like "I can't believe how bad my planning was at 18, good thing it all worked out." Who doesn't have these stories? Everyone I know does, because 18-year-olds aren't that good at perceiving the consequences of their choices.

And you'd have to be really paranoid to not talk to any strangers either. How would you meet people then?

As an idea I've spent my entire childhood with a key around my neck playing outside with friends. Boys and girls alike. And the worst that I've heard happen with my groups of friends was someone falling from a tree on their head. Luckily minimal damage. The outside is not some evil place filled with people with violent stuff on their mind.
