I think the point Metsfan might be trying to prove is that its safer to cross paths with a person than a bear. He's immagining walking into a forest overrun with 8 million bears and thinking, "fuck that!"
wow see you get what i'm saying. i swear its like talking to a brick wall sometimes.
I couldn't help but coming back to this rather one-sided debate. So Metsy, your logic has somehow been validated by likeanocean's mythical forest of 8,000,000 bears? My bad. See, this whole time I was operating from a perspective based in reality. I concur, the forest of 8 million bears is a far more dangerous place than New York. That island where they found King Kong is also very dangerous. Good work, buddy. You showed me.

i'm in NYC a lot ... in terms of safety - i definitely feel more safe in the woods than in NYC ... between the pollution, crazy drivers and such - i think the odds of me dying are far greater in NYC ... having said that - it is a relatively safe city although there are pockets where one should not go at certain times of the day ...

I just want to know where the forest of 8 million bears is located. I suspect Canada somewhere. Have you seen it, Polaris? I can't imagine any human actually stumbling upon it would even live to tell the tale.

I would rather you helped stopped derail my Thread.
Her parents have defended her actions by saying they are a family of adventures and will not live in a box..........yeah, good on them.
BUT! Who payed this chic to get plucked out of the ocean?
My own children need new shoes and our latest arrivals need new plasma TV's.
the biggest issue i have with the american girl is why they set a schedule that would put her in the southern indian ocean in winter?? ... makes no sense ...
and eyed - i've not been to the forest of bears ...
Well how about todays news that the family is broke and signed on to make this into a reality show months before she left. That changes everything.
hmmmm...."balloon boy" anyone?
yes and no...their then 17 year old son sailed around the world last year and little sis departed a few months after so it may not have been their idea for a tv/book deal but i'm sure they didn't say no when it was offered :roll:
also, the aussie govt is asking the parents to pay for the $300,000 rescue
On topic. I have a 16 year old girl. She will be going around the world in a small boat. I'm all for encouraging independence, but that's nuts. My baby is the most important thing in my life. I won't stifle her, but I"m not letting her go into unnecessary danger either.

Allow me to be the first to suggest you might be contradicting yourself somewhere around the third 'sentence'.

This put a smirk on the upper right part of my face.
