The idea that you shoudlnt open up your door to strangers (as an adult) seems riddiculous. That you should even worry about hte consequences of such an action seems crazy.
But its the environment that breeds that kinda of attitude out of necessity i guess.
here, theres a stranger at the door, dont know who it is ? Well, why the heck woudlnt u open the door and see whut they want.. but here there is 99.99% certainity that nothing negative will come about from opening your door. Maybe their Witnesses, maybe its someone my parents know (but who i dont) or maybe its a friend of my brother (who i dont know)...
just commenting that thinking of not opening ur door to a stranger (unless something very obviously appears amiss) would be a very strange idea to hold up here. but thats up here, eh. its too bad its not the same down there! of course i can totally see why tho!!! |
I would say Collingwood is a hell of a lot different with what could come about opening the door for a stranger.
There have been plenty of crazy -ass stories coem out of Toronto about strangers knocking on peoples doors, and being raped or even murdered.
I used to not worry at all about walking home at night - but as time has gone by, living in Toronto I am sometime scared to walk downt he street. There are some bloody idiots in this world and I think a lot of the reside in Toronto! lol, well some of them at least.
In the past week, there has been 4 RCMP officer's murdered, a suicide attempt (1 succeeded, 2 lived) a stranger walks up to a strangers house and murders himself infront of the home owner. . . .the list could continue, but this is one reaosn why I refuse to watch the night time news, it is all too depressing!
on a side note, I went by the Queen Park Government buildings today, on my way to work, and I noticed that the Canadian & Ontario Flag were half way down - could this be becasue of the RCMP officers being murdered over a weeeeeee bit of weeeed??
