Use common sense

Is our fear of rejection part of common sense?

> Use common sense

Read "The Gift of Fear" by Gavin de Becker. Highly recommend it for anyone who wants to know more about how to protect yourself.

tldr: Trust your instincts. They have been honed by many, many iterations.

what happens when a pretty young girl tries to overcome her fear of rejection and asks the wrong stranger for a ride? ...she dies. This thing is pretty silly if you ask me.

How often does that actually happen? Is it something real, or just something we've become afraid of because it happens in movies?

It has got to have happened at least a few times. Since the stakes are high (life/death) the risk gets blown out of proportion.

People are now advertising their iphone apps here? The poster's handle had 3 karma points before this post, and was created 42 days ago.

..And to make matters more interesting, I'm getting downvoted for my observation. (Probably by the guy who is trying to promote his iphone app here)

I don't know if you've ever read the Bible, but in Joshua 1:9 God says "Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid".

God was telling Joshua and the Israelites the formula for success.

I'd take The Book's word over what your book says any day.

How could I have downvoted you? I only have 3 karma points (well, it's growing a bit now, but still).

Through the power of multiple accounts.

Assuming you are just spamming your app, are there any interesting technical details you might like to share to make this less about spamming and more about sharing?
