[生活] 瘋狂司機

感同身受... 我滿討厭這種把公車當賽車開的司機， 就算只有兩線道，也能逆向超車， 拿乘客的生命開玩笑，很危險， 偏偏我也常遇到... 而且像這樣急踩急煞，更容易讓我暈車， 每次看司機差一點就會撞到前一台公車時，都讓我捏把冷汗！ 台灣的公車司機實在需要再教育...

janie說的對， 以前我也有想過，在美國長住的話，會否選擇帶手槍出門。 當時我的答案是肯定的，既然法律有時候保障不了我們的安全，我們唯有選擇自保。 茱迪

ㄟ。。有這麼可怕嗎? 我住洛杉磯很久了，雖然常看新聞有這樣的情況，不過我不覺得有那麼可怕耶。。 晚上少出門，就會很安全了

嘿阿,沒有這麼可怕啦.我覺得槍更可怕. 感恩節的時候才去shooting range.打的時候很好玩,可是想想要我帶著那個東西在身上,我會毛毛的. 我一個朋友有槍,他平常也沒有隨身帶著.有槍有很多規定的呢.小心自己的活動範圍我想應該就可以了.

我想是只有台北的公車司機要再教育在台北當兵1年10個月感覺他門靠車大台就會亂衝有一次我就氣到檔在前面"礁"

每回看到爸媽騎機車戴著小孩(有時還不只戴一個)，逆向行駛、闖紅燈、違規轉彎… 心裡總是會出現… xxx，這樣子壞榜樣教小孩，自己不要命也不用拉小孩子陪!

凡事還是小心為妙的好! ^^

Dear cordandme, Dear Wen, American's think Taiwanese are scary because all Taiwanese moms use the "big knife" to cut. There is no knife culture in America, that is why they think it is scary. There is no gun culture in Taiwan, that is why Taiwanese think it is scary. It is just a tool, like everything else. If I have a choice: A) Carrying a gun and never using it B) Needing a gun and not having it I will choose A every time. Watch the news and look at your local police, it is not their job to protect you, it is just their job to write the report after you are dead. You only get 1 chance to protect yourself. Why I carry a knife with me in Taiwan, and I have my wife carry a knife and a whistle. Personal safety is your own responsibility.

I think I've read a report somewhere about ppl carry guns for protection, it concludes that ppl are more likely to injur themselves or others close to them(eg. children) rather than the intruders. This might due to the fact that when you try to use a gun - which you rarely use, you're likely to miss the shot and let the thugs have a chance to grab your weapon... I guess that's why America has the most relaxed gun law in the developed countries and yet not a safe place to live in...

Dear iliac, You can read the following link. http://www.american-partisan.com/cols/blanks/081400.htm England and Australia recently banned almost all guns, and crime increased greatly. Virginia has the most relaxed gun laws in America, but has the lowest crime compared to Washington D.C. where guns are banned, but has the highest crime. When you look at real statistics, more guns = less crime. Here in Taiwan, because only the bad guys have guns, the good guys has to run away. Taiwan is "safer" because everybody lives in jails. Look at all the windows, no bars on the windows in America, but all of them in Taiwan. When it comes down to it, you have to decide, do I want to give up freedom for security? "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." http://www.press.uchicago.edu/Misc/Chicago/493636.html John Lott wrote the book "More Guns, Less Crime." http://www.newsmax.com/articles/?a=2000/6/26/12629 [Gun ban in Australia] Quote: "Twelve months after the law was implemented in 1997, there has been a 44 percent increase in armed robberies, an 8.6 percent increase in aggravated assaults, and a 3.2 percent increase in homicides. That same year in the state of Victoria, there was a 300 percent increase in homicides committed with firearms. The following year, robberies increased almost 60 percent in South Australia. By 1999, assaults had increased in New South Wales by almost 20 percent." I highly urge you to do some research before you draw any conclusions.
