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.

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

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.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

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.

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...
