I'm not afraid of anything!  Should have died 2/23/1967 so I'm way into the gravy now.

You are FEARLESS! Not much fazes you. Of course, this isn't always a good thing — remember, a little fear is OK. It stops you from doing anything really stupid.


Life is too short to be afraid.

If that's true...
I must be darned near invincible then.

I'm afraid of cancer or one of my loved ones getting sick.

Other that that, on the list...not too much. The poll didn't ask what I don't like. Spiders, snakes and the like. But they don't scare me.

Nothing on that list.

But it's not that easy to quantify.

Bears - I ain't AFRAID of bears.
But you'd have to be an idiot not to have some fear involved when a bear is fixing to attack you and you are not prepared. Heck, even if you are prepared.

Fire - I ain't afraid of fire.
but uncontrolled fire is another thing altogether. Take a stroll through a full on forest fire and see if you have fear. You will.

Heights - Not afraid of heights. been dangling on 165 ft of rope 600 feet up a cliff...
But while you're dangling and a piece of pro comes loose... and you hit the next and it comes loose...
Well, fear is likely to be the main event at that point.

I ain't afraid of gravity, I ain't afraid of falling. It's the impact I'm not looking forward to....

There are a lot of things i don't fear, but I danged sure respect.

God, Chuck Norris, and a woman who says "we need to talk".
I think I may be on reasonable terms with God, I think I could talk with Chuck and get along okay.

But that third one oft strikes terror into strong men's souls...

I cannot believe it took this long for Chuck Norris to show up in a thread about fear...
