Children should be home by 10..end of story.
 
 Why can't they just go down the field and drink cider like we all had to. Keep the little shits out of the nightclubs. Give us a break from the little bollocks will you?

If it's a boy and he's anywhere near as big as his 6'6" father-in-law, I'd feel a little better. As far as my driving record goes, I've been driving for 24 years, with zero accidents. I was mugged on the suburban main street of Takoma Park. We've also been harassed a number of times after leaving shows at the 9:30. I would feel safer driving my child to a show than letting them wander the hood after the show.

most people would also "feel safer" driving around springfield, virginia than walking down U street at 12am on a friday; it's one of the main reasons people move out to the suburbs, in order to live a "safer" life than in the city ... basic risk analysis and comparison, however, shows that driving around suburbia on a regular basis is way more dangerous than walking in an urban environment (notwithstanding psycho metrobus drivers)
 
 fortunately you've dodged a bullet by miraculously not being involved in any accidents and unfortunately bucked the trend by being mugged in takoma park and "harrassed" multiple times surrounding the 930 club in an approximately 25-time sample
 
 i'm just sick of people (not you in particular, just people in general) being deathly afraid of things that the media feeds them like bird flu, child abductions, random acts of street violence, etc, while they drive around every day with a cellphone smacked against their cheek and a Big Mac on their lap

Men hitting on my wife.  Typical negro mumbo jumbo like, "You bettuh watch out, aw I'm gonna git yuh wife." That's happened a couple of times. Some might take it as complimentary, but we'd prefer they shut the fuck up and leave us alone.

Harassed by whom? [/b]

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

No, I didn't. But I don't think my parents would have budged much on that number. It's not like there was much to do beyond going to a high school basketball game or movie anyway, so it wasn't a big deal.

So, when you go to the 9:30 you are sexually and otherwise assaulted and subject to verbal harassment from "negroes."  When you go to the Birchmere, your wife is set upon by rude staff and abusive management.  On the streets of Takoma Park you are mugged.  At the suburban mattress store you get into an altercation with the staff.  On the streets of Gay Paris, you are physically assaulted by mimes.  I know there are a slew of other incidents I am forgetting.
 
 As an alleged mathmetician, you must realize that the frequency with which you and your wife are the victims of random acts of abuse and violence are a massive statistical anomaly.
 
 Or perhaps you are just full of shit.
 
 Either way, it is probably best for your physical safety and your emotional well-being if you disengage from that confrontational and dangerous outside world. Just stay home.

Spoken like somebody who's lived in the cushy suburbs his whole life, and who doesn't have a hot wife.

This is one of the funniest threads in memory...
 
 Rhett, you always eventually bring up your allegedly "hot wife" in threads like this, do you draw validation from being married to hotness?

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Not half as funny as the comments on the Washington Post board about this subject (which somebody already pointed out) Do read if you haven't already.

[Herr Professor Doktor Doom]

Many of those commenters sound like poorly-educated backwoods hicks from outside the beltway...

The second statement is true by default, as we are not married.  The first statement is just plain wrong.

Was it something to do with the cole slaw?

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Let me ask you, have you not ever had a disagreement with someone in the service industry? I'll bet you have. To your credit, you just didn't bitch about it on this message board.
 
 And I'll bet if you have dated or are dating someone who is considered physically attractive, she's received inappropriate comments from time to time by strangers. The more attractive the woman, the more bullshit she has to typically put up with. I reckon I dated a few other women in the same ballpark as my wife, and they had similiar stories. I also dated a number of women that the masses probably wouldn't be bowled over by, and they seemed to have much less trouble with harassment.
 
 If you've never been mugged or physically assaulted, consider yourself lucky. A number of my college friends who were from NYC were always trading stories of being mugged and/or robbed. It happens. I was mugged while walking home three miles in the dark. Perhaps you are more of a driver than a walker? Perhaps the fact that you're 6'3" or so makes you less appealing of a target, than me at 5'9" and blind without my glasses.
