I am not keen on heights, that whole vertigo thing.

What scares me? I have a rather overactive imagination so i tend to scare myself

  Heights? Not so much that for me: it's the depths past the edge of a height.

Heights, but not closed-in like elevators, airplanes or looking out of the window in a tall building. Open heights, like more than 3 rungs up a ladder.

And bugs. Mostly flying bugs because I actually kind of like spiders, but I don't like ants, flies, wasps, bees. In fact, I'm terrified of anything other than spiders. I don't know why.

Maybe these aren't fears. They're phobias because they're irrational.

  All religious people? Or do you mean those who would force the world to come around to their way of living?

  People that write like this: "The Almighty Father, our Saviour, will rescue His children blah blah blah".

  No, Tiffany. But you're also not preaching to us.

  I know, Mark. I know what he meant. But it really irks me that the least Christian people I know are the ones who have somehow become the poster children for religion. I suspect it's simply because they're the loudest, but it's frustrating.

Internet fraud. That's after reading one too many police reports of peoples' lives being seriously messed with after electronic identity theft. Gulp.

That bit in the movie when you just KNOW its going to make you jump. Female flower Em had hypnotherapy to overcome her fear of spiders and male flowers Jim did the a 218 m high bungee jump to overcome his fear of heights.

Wife! kidding LOL! Well I am scared of heights too, seems like a common phobia here among BC members. I dont mind em' at times but if I get close to the edge, then i get pretty uncomfortable and nervous which can trigger my body to lose control and end my life ( Wow! I can ramble )

Billary back to bunking in the Lincoln bedroom while Bin Laden's nut hatches build bombs to bedevil ALL of our futures.

I'd vote for Maliki, for anything, before putting those narcissistic bumbling bozos in (no) control of our collectivist futures, and our children's security.

Aside from that, I don't like pit bulls.

I think I am most afraid something is going to happen to my kids... mainly abduction.

I tend to be a bit neurotic at times... I have even started a personal deathpool on my blog because I see chaos everywhere. Mainly covering "what if" scenarios etc.

Getting more political than I usually do:

People who don't bother to get informed, don't really care, but who vote anyway.

Low voter turnout can be a good thing!

I'm really scared of dogs. This is quite strange since I'm not scared of any other animals including snakes, mountain lions, ect...I'm a pet owner myself. I guess I have Louis Pasteur to thank for.

  The problem with that is that dogs know it too. I hope you've learned to fake it.

The vapid celebrity culture that seems to be acceptable as news in the best selling newspapers and sad decline of journalism in general.
The alarming islamophobia and willful ignorance of other cultures, the situation reminds me of the old news reels of thirties Germany. The eternal Jew anyone?

  Mark -- Generally speaking, nothing I have met under the sea has really scared me -- although a one-time encounter with a very large tiger shark did speed up the ol' heart rate quite a bit. ;-}
