15. You should have used the word "disproportionate"
It's reasonable to fear criminals and crime, but the hype on TV news and people's fear of crime is totally out of proportion to the real risk.


There is a wingnut thread on another site ridiculing this thread because they think it means DUers condone crime and expect people not to fear criminals at all.

It's amazingly how consistent they are in NOT GETTING IT.
