F.Y.I. - I was referencing those same tourists and/or timid foreigners about crossing the Blvd. It's kind of like playing chicken. Personal safety I agree 100% I have walked all over town and never felt any ill feelings or fear for safety. Crossing busy streets is another matter all together!

I don't remember seeing any of that during my last contract but I could understand the reasoning being it.....it's called coercion. If you want a little sh*thead to rat out his terrorist scum old man so you can go put a bullet between his eyes you have to give the kid something he thinks is more valuable than his old man's life. Luckily for us, kids are stupid and have very screwed up priorities and all it takes to convince them of that is a bit of candy and some toys. And if they don't rat out pops we can always put a tracking device in the toy and figure where he lives anyways. Children are a very logical demographic to exploit.....they have no filter going from their brains to their mouths and they are extremely gullible. (The Afghan version of the show "Kids Say the Darnest Things" is very different from ours.)

Depends where you live in the US and the Philippines. Being in certain areas, surrounded by certain......let's say "demographics", increases your chances of being a victim greatly. Living in Jolo or East St. Louis wouldn't be a great idea for most people and your chances of being a victim in a violent crime would be much greater than living in, let's say, Valencia or Waco.

It would be interesting to see someone compare the chances of being shot and killed in the USA vs the chances of being kidnapped in Philippines. I put it out there because I read more news articles about shootings/killings in the US than kidnappings in the Phils so I wonder which place is really safer?-
