Same with driving. Or flying. Or going to parties. Or going to clubs. Or not even leaving your house at all! <br /><br />Or hey, buying a house, having a wedding, having a baby, having an operation. There's a million horror stories for all those things and still people continue to do them. They must be crazy putting themselves at risk like that.<br /><br />Look, for every story where "xxx went to xx's house that they didn't know and BAD THINGS happened zomg" we could just as easily talk about the times we've gone to the places of people we didn't know and NOTHING happened. But we don't, because that would be incredibly boring.Mellorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13648897254655558957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186499665856075184.post-19041077273980978422012-06-05T02:34:57.152-04:002012-06-05T02:34:57.152-04:00Agreed, but you're probably barking up the wro...Agreed, but you're probably barking up the wrong site :)Mellorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13648897254655558957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186499665856075184.post-18862278056686055912012-06-05T02:14:28.065-04:002012-06-05T02:14:28.065-04:00That this kind of thing CAN happen at all makes it...That this kind of thing CAN happen at all makes it not worth the risk.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13733974260099709340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186499665856075184.post-25963348461179617642012-06-04T19:19:13.645-04:002012-06-04T19:19:13.645-04:00The plural of "anecdote" is not data.

My Mum is a physiotherapist who told me a story of a man who came through rehab at the hospital to learn to live with a colostomy bag. He was lured to a house and sodomised with a broom handle which completely destroyed his bowel. All because he wanted to keep drinking with a guy he met at a pub. You never ever go home with someone until you know them!

Google the name Mark Twitchell and you will see - he was convicted of brutally murdering a guy (he lured men using a dating site pretending he was female) to his garage and then prceeded to cut him up into pieces, Dexter style. This happened where I live in Canada - Edmonton, Alberta ... I've been on my share of dating sites and always always always, meet public until you trust someone.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00049606262284331614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186499665856075184.post-51222258350105388242012-06-03T07:32:54.701-04:002012-06-03T07:32:54.701-04:00I could understand being proud of BUILDING a garag...I could understand being proud of BUILDING a garage, or expanding a garage, or finishing a garage into a room, but being that proud of just CLEANING a garage?
