Someone very clever once sed, "There is nothing to fear but fear itself"
And how right he was.
Today we are told everything will give you cancer and while you wait for treatment that is too expensive to provide your house will be burgled.
Shred everything too!!
BUT what are the TRUE FEARS in life? The things that really make you sit up?

Shall i go first? Well thank you !! 
OK - this makes me think 'whoah' !!
"They were shot three times in the head but miraculously survived"
That's scary - very scary
ANYONE who calls themselves "passionate"
"I'm passionate about security systems"
I run a mile - its terrifying !!!!
People who seem to have a permanent smirk on their face.
Even when they're talking about the latest disaster!!!
Very worrying
The question,
"Do you relish a challenge? Do you enjoy working under pressure to meet a deadline?"
NO I DON'T - i relish the challenge of sitting under a palm tree, drinking gin.
This makes me fear for mankind that some people will reply, "yes".
PRITT STIK
Its not sticky but it sticks stuff !!!
Its not normal !!!!

Ummm. Nah, can't be bothered.
Not one?
Why do i bother
Mr Blizz shreds everything, even papers with no personal details on, and it is my job to sort it all, for the recycling. Drives me mad, but he doesn't listen to my moaning. 
He obviously doesn't fear me enough. 
Flying 
Flying
I always seem to sit over the wing where i can watch the tip flutter up and down really quickly.
"Surely that's gonna whip off anytime soon" goes through my head the whole journey.
Once after a particularly fraught approach and a thump on landing the passengers gave a round of applause!!! 
Flying - it aint normal !!!

Start sitting in the dark with a kitchen knife 
I also fear not catching the bus, so all of you should support me and let me catch it every time 
Babies with ear rings!!
Wrong and rather scary

ugh, hate that 
I think that my biggest, so called irrational, fear is flying.
Luckily it's optional and an option that I don't need to take.
I have an irrational fear of Zombies....honest...truly! 
And it just so happens that the church where I work is having a film crew in over the next three days...for auditions...to be zombies 
I'm gonna let our volunteer run the shop...am staying out back in the kitchen
Mind you....there is no escape out back !! Eeeeek!

YES, YES, YES, YES, YES - TOTALLY AGREE.
We have a new boss who is really shaking things up, to the point that he has disestablished all jobs in the department and made it a free for all at the interviews. You can apply for anything on any grade !! Crazy.
But his current buzz word is "I'm not necessarily looking for experience, but people with a passion to suceed in their new role".

What scares me is the current celebrity culture and how the youth seem to think being a celebrity is a valid ambition.
How they attend X-Factor auditions, but have never had a singing lesson in their lives, despite it being their "dream". Utter rubbish, Dream my a***.
Get a work ethic and learn to work for your position in society.

Hello sweety
I wouldn't consider myself a problem per say....could be (if you want)
Just know that the older they get the more they are able to not like the stinging/pain of new piercing......
I'm going to cheese you all off now because my fear is dying and as I'm not that far away from it, it's not even irrational. I don't actually mind being dead, I just want to keel over with a heart attack and croak, rather than having to spend weeks or months in hospital not being able to eat or use the loo and just fade away with my breathing under enormous strain. I've been trying to face this head on, but no quack can give you a definititive answer.
On a lighter note, I HATE any jewellery on young kids.

Me too........children should be allowed to be children IMHO...
Re you! ....the same ( as most I would imagine) as you....just want to slip away gently...without fuss...without pain! 
You have friends that care here XX

Thanks Slim no more though please, I voiced my private fear, but in no way do I want that to be the way the thread goes.
Flying
I hate flying too. But I do it because it's a quick way to get where I want to be. Short flights (5 hours or less) I will buy vodka ( 2 x 2 doubles) about 1 hour before we land. Long haul, I get sedatives off the Dr.
ANYONE who calls themselves "passionate"
Renton, anyone that insists on calling themselves anything, and then gets upset when people don't call them by that name.

I'm alright getting on and taking off, but at some time about 30 minutes later I can't believe that something as heavy as a plane cane stay up, so then my brown paperbag would come out and it all made sense.
