At the martial arts I go to, we're taught "punch them in the face, kick them in the nuts, and run"

The one thing it boils down to is to trust your intuition. If you must go alone at night, and something feels at all 'wrong', don't hesitate to get a security guard to escort you to your car. That's what they're there for.

This is all curiousity/awe really on my part. I talked to a guy who lived in Iraq, on yahoo one time. He told me the following: "You worry about getting mugged when you walk down a dark alley, I worry about getting murdered every time I go to a club or bar". That really brings it home. I think when you hear it on the media or from people who don't live there It's conditional to their experience so I'd like to get your own experiences.

i get stuff all the time from the email bout to be careful and stuff and one just recently about the attepted kidnapping on the malls. a child was nearly kidnapped when she was missing for 5 min found in the toilet with her head shaven and cloths changed to make her look different in order to sneak her out of the mall. and thats my own memories and experience. what more of others? I am always on my guard because thats the environment i grew up in. although im not as paranoid as others since I was brought up on a sheltered life.

I live in a very peaceful country, you can walk outside at night alone and you have almost 99% chance of getting home safely.
The murder rate here is maybe 3 murders a year and they are usually drug related. The drug "underground scene" here is pretty gruesome but it doesn't affect "normal" citizen much Domestic violence is on the rise though, more and more women are reporting abuse at home, either it is getting higher or women are reporting it more. |

and i do agree about that. if there is a world complete without violence, then i guess it can get a little boring. violence is a way to solve something but not everything.
