That's a great app idea but that bothers me to pay for suggestion cards. I understand there is work behing the hood for the iPhone application but still. Does anyone know a website with some free example cards decks to print out ?

Not exactly "cards", but there was an effort made on a previous topic to create a list of ideas: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1755561

"They have been honed by many, many iterations." For an environment and time that we no longer live in. Evolution honed our instincts for a reason, but this reasoning was good for jungles and savannas, not urban sprawls and concrete jungles.

The danger being discussed above is that from other humans. I don't think people have changed nearly enough to call our instincts about them into question.

You have now culture, law, education, and much more conditioning than 50000/100000/1000000 years ago. I would argue that much have changed regarding how other humans react to what we do.

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)

Well that definitely sounds like a conspiracy since there's no other reason people would downvote you...

> 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. http://tgace.wordpress.com/2008/11/07/the-gift-of-fear/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gift_of_Fear

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.

Bible says fear of God is beginning of wisdom. We are to fear God because He can destroy our soul whereas everyone else can only destroy our body.
