[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 434053, member: 9240"] Once again, holy sh*t!! I don't know which overreaction to eviscerate first, so I'm just going to leave it be. [I](Christ, I can't) [/I] I spent 45 minutes shooting 317 images, one of which was the front of a school bus that pulled next to me on a public road that I was walking on. And that becomes "how many middle-aged men WITH cameras go around taking photos strictly of buses"?! For godsake, it's not "HORNY men" that ruin it for people, it's the delusionally paranoid person who feeds off media induced fear - how everything is either going to kill you or give you cancer - that has made this country impossible to live it. We're a world built on hyperbole, Chicken Little, and the sky is falling all around us if we don't do something about it. Parents can't let their kids walk down the street alone, [I]not because of any real danger but because Mrs. Kravitz is looking out the window and calling the cops because some kids is (gasp!!) walking by themselves.[/I] You all want to crawl in a hole and hide, go ahead. Just remember to keep your nose stuck up your own @$$ and out of the business of those of us who want to turn off our TV sets and live life outside of your paranoid world. God, we used to make fun of the idea of the Russian Babushka sweeping the steps and reporting on what the people in building were doing to subvert the government. We've not only become that, we've surpassed that lunacy. [/QUOTE]
