I'm sorry for the woman, but I think she should have seen that coming, maybe not a sex attack (this is a bit extreme), but she could have been easily hit by a car or robbed. Plain common sense would have saved her if she had some...

We just recently had in the news a local girl that got hit by a train and fortunately survived. She was crossing the train tracks at night when the ramp was down with her head stuck under a hoodie (they didn't say if she was listening to a mp3, probably she did because you cannot not hear a bloody train!).
Hell, how stupid can people get...

That's why I never wear headphones when I'm out walking. Not so much that I'm worried about being attacked, it's more that I need to listen for cars, and be prepared to duck far off to the side of the road if necessary. Especially when the big trucks go by, I like to be as far out of their way as possible.

I used to be a very silly child..My eyesight was just starting to go (I refused to wear glasses at the time), and I had a habit of putting in my music super-loud whilst walking to school (I'm now slightly deaf in one ear)..I can't count the amount of times I've nearly been ran over during that period of my life, haha.

I recall one time, I wasn't aware of a car driving towards me as I crossed the road until the bumper nudged my leg as the driver slammed on the brakes. Straight after that, I pretty much walked straight into a stationary van. That was the day I decided I really should start wearing glasses. :woohoo: Lesson learnt.

This has been in the news here recently...

A couple in their 70s won over $11 million dollars in the lottery, and they've given all of it away... some to family, and also to various charities and other worthy causes. They said they didn't need it, and were happy to be able to make a difference by sharing it.
