I'm kind of on the fence at times with safety and stuff. I'd say in general there's over-protection of kids, but then I think of... Pretty much half of all the girls I know either have been raped, assaulted, or been in a situation where a pedophile is propositioning them.

So I guess my conclusion is, inevitably, men are gross.

I think that says more about what happens in your part of town than it actually says about anything in a general sense. 50% are abnormally shitty odds.


Also, kids are way smarter than dogs. Dogs don't devise elaborate plans to steal goodies and then go through with them and have them actually work. Nor do they have the ability to coordinate the way human siblings often do. Brothers may fight, but God help you if you manage to get them both against you.

Naw, they really ain't much smarter. And I don't live in a bad area. It's not a utopia, but... Lots of worse places to be.
