After reading the wonderful comments on my entry to this month's challenge, I thought I'd ask, what is it that scares you or digs it's nails on the proverbial blackboard of fear in your mind?  For me, my entry covers so many bases on this it's not funny.  Fear of Drowning, Fear of Death and Decay, Fear of the Unknown, and fear of No escape.

So, what is it that does it to you?

telling someone that will turn around and scare me with it....:-)

Clowns !

politicians

Religious wackos scare me shitless.  It also scares me when entities touch my testicles in the middle of the night.

Stupidity

There are two things that really scare the hell out of me. The first is a thought. My family in danger, and I can't help. The second is Bird Eating Spiders learning to fly.  

Connie,............you love cats, right ? So do I,...........but it's a basic fact that cats are stupid,.........so,.........are you afraid of cats ?   Did I mention clowns ? Oh yeah,......styrofoam also.

snakes..definately. can't even look at a picture with snakes.
huge render times. feels like i'm in a nitemare i can't get out of.
sackrat.. rats.. definately rats. which is why my avatar is a cat.. however dozy it may be...:-P

Heights (although I still abseil on school camps, you have to set an example sometimes).  Also those times when I'm going up the highway, get halfway home, and can't remember anything about how I got there...

Politicians? Clowns? Aren't they the same thing? :^)

tjohn: While all politicians are clowns, the reverse may not be so.  (ie: politicains are a subset of clowns)

sackrat: Sooo, to lay around - anywhere you want, get fed - almost anything you want, get stroked in a most sensual way - but only if you want, to never have to follow any orders or perform any ridiculous tricks . . . .     This is stupid? I like cats and dogs and all sorts of animals (ask my pet chupacabra, Chuck), but of all it's cats that actually keep humans as pets . . .  or slaves if you like, willingly of course.

Actually, my cat(Rusty)has a performance clause in his contract,...........no tricks, no food or kittybox cleaning. He also does light cleaning(no windows)and takes the trash out twice a week, plus he answers the phone on Tuesday and Saturday.

[sssshh! Don't let PETA hear about that!]

Hmm... what scares me... not much i guess.
Sometimes I tend to be fearless to the point where i think it'll get me in trouble one day.
I think a big thing I am scared about is injuries. And even then, it's not as much the pain of injuries that scares me, it's more the fact that injuries might keep me from doing the things I love.

what scares me, not much these days. Pick spiders up in my hand, catch and release snakes in summer when we get them around or in the house, had 3 rats for pets, hunted and caught a few crocs in my younger years, broke my neck so i guess the one that scares Rayraz is out cause i have been there done that and still got the injuries to show it. Had a shotgun aimed at my head so someone holding and aiming a gun at me doesn't scare me..

Hmmm what scares me, nothing at all i guess.

Whaaa.... Cats, stupid???  Sackrat... You're making me have to eat you, and I was just starting to like you!!!   :P

Snakes aren't scary, it's our stupid supersticious stories about snakes that make them seem scary....  In reality, unless we do something, um... stupid, and paint a snake in the corner, it's going to mind it's own business and stay away from the smelly, noisy, clumsy, polluting humans.

LOL, boy you should come live in Australia Connie, i bet you wont say that about some of the snakes we have here like the Tiger snake, Red or Yellow belly Black Snake, or the Dugite all of which actually will chase you or go into a house.

The Dawgs right Connie. We have snakes in Australia that will literally hunt you.

Then again, no one has died in Australia from a snake bite where treated in the correct manner (pressure immobilisation bandage).

U had a shotgun pointed at u? That's pretty scary! I've had a guy pointing a gun at me just earlier this week, but the loser had no magazine in the gun, which meant no bullets, which meant he didnt scare me which meant I could go and relatively safely scare the shit out of him instead :tongue1:

Seeing my family in danger scares me . . .  enough to evoke a strong and sharp action.
