Another day, another ridiculous conversation about stranger abductions

[conuly]

If one more person tries to conflate child abductions with child trafficking I will not be responsible for my actions. These are two different problems! Different and, as near as I can tell, entirely unrelated.

Relatedly, if you're going to laugh when I tell you the crime rate has decreased, you'd better be able to back up your response with the numbers. I'll wait.

Ugh. I've asked this before and never gotten a satisfactory response: Why do people want to be scared? Why are they just so resistant to hearing anything but "be afraid" every waking moment!?

Well, I wish they'd just stop, rather than making themselves and everybody around them miserable.

It would be nice.
