Do you feel safer staying at home?

Well, I will say that it's really a tragedy that there are a number of plane accidents which cause a lot of death. I must admit that I will feel a bit hesitant about taking a plane. However, I will say there are lots of accidents happening everywhere. Accidents may happen on the road in the car, in public transport, on ship, on plane, and even at home. So, there's actually no way of knowing if staying at home will be the safest. I guess if it's time for you to go, I don't think you can really avoid it...

i dont feel like if you stay at home u will be safer,i dont believe because am not superstitious and staying at home makes you lazy and it decreases your energy and stamina, i think you will be safer if you stay at home and outside, because to be safer you need food, to get food you need money, and if you dont go out how can earn money and how can you eat food....

those incidence are really sad...
actually, even after those news, i still don't afraid of traveling. these days, the situations are really unpredictable, and i believe that no matter where we are, if it is our time to go...then it will happen. even if we are in our own house, accidents that may lead to our death will happen...so i will not stop my self in traveling just because i am afraid of accidents to happen. what i do is i always utter a small prayer to the Lord to ask for His guidance before i go...

we cannot overcome our luck. What is lotted cannot be blotted. So if my fate has a mishappenings I cannot escape from it. So it does not mean that sitting at my home is safer than to stay at outside.

To see it that way, we will always feel insecure anywhere. Whether it will be home, riding public transportations, etc. But even though it's dangerous, I prefer to stay home. I feel safer that way. Not to mention in home I feel get more freedom to do anything I want. It's just a matter of preference, I guess.

There will always be risks of travelling. As for me, I opted not to travel for the next few weeks. I wasn't thinking about possible accidents... but I was scared of the A(H1N1), that's been spreading a lot in our country. Like in just a month, the news of it's spread from various parts of my country scared me, especially because I have a little son.

With regards to the recent accident reports. I haven't heard much about it. I better check it out, and hope it won't cause me more paranoia in travelling

These events are beyond tragic, but I've never really been influenced heavily by things like this when it comes to travel and will still continue to do so if needed. Lately I've not been traveling much at all, but I used to travel at least once a month in the past and these were usually overseas trips by plane. I've never really enjoyed flying, but it's more because of the fact that I usually did it alone and got bored than because of any fear of accidents or anything like that. My heart goes out to all the people affected by these events.

I think of it this way: Its either I fear being everywhere since dangers are everywhere and accidents might occur at any moment of any given time.. Or
I would feel safe anywhere, whether at home or outside the home, while exercising enough caution of course. I mean I wont be leaping in front of buses because I feel that the bus wont hit me. But general caution in anything, everywhere.

Well since you said 'safer' then I think there is a slight difference in the degree that I feel that Im safer at home than anywhere else. We live in a quiet neighborhood and there isnt anything much going on. So there is the pretense that one would believe he/she is safe.

I do hope that the authorities will finally know the cause for such accidents so they can help prevent it in the future. Its already dangerous living near the trains or under bridges, the authorities can hopefully work something out to help the families as well as keep the community safe.

first, lock ALL doors, windows, or any other things that could be used as an entrance.
second, don't play loud music or anything with high volume because they would know you were home and maybe bring a weapon.
third, convince your parents to invest in a security alarm or let them let you keep a butcher's knife or any huge or useful weapon in your room.
four, just be alert and aware of your surroundings. keep a phone near you for a quick call to police; parents; or someone in the neighborhood you can trust.
five, keep relaxed and calm; keep your strength up; keep hope if anything does happen.
six, don't leave any type of key outside where someone could reach it. you don't know how clever some people can be...

I think it`s a good question.It`s more safer to stay at home now.It`s summer holiday now,so I don`t go out if necessary.
