Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 569162, member: 780"] Hey, I was reacting to the provocation represented by wearing orange on St. Pats Day. My point was and remains "Why do it?". Growing up in NJ as I did --- in an era when being "tough" was very important --- my "bad idea" alarm goes of when I hear about stuff like this. Seems to me there is always someone who wants to take up a challenge ... especially with a bellyful of green beer in them. If you grew up in or near an ethnic neighborhood --- as you seem to suggest --- you know exactly what I'm talking about. I've seen too much. I know the threat is real. I don't know anything about the South side of Chicago or East St Louis ... but I don't like going into West Baltimore or Anacostia in DC in bright daylight. Seems like I am unnecessarily tempting fate. [/QUOTE]
