Great post DH, I am pleased to see a gentleman have a feeling of responsibility for the safety of his girlfriend. I was beginning to think that actions like that were being lost more and more with each generation.

I hope that my own daughter will choose to date a young man of like mind.

Welcome to the forum.

Thanks Flint, and Long

Your making me blush

Fortunately, i have moved out of that neighborhood and am even on the verge of starting my own business. But i wont ever forget the way my neighborhood "used" to be. Still lots of good people living there. Times have changed :(

ive surely had many occasions to be able to use as "conversion" experiences.

Growing up in a rough neighborhood, i have routinely been woken up by gun fire and seen criminals running down the streets with automatics in their hands.

Just recently i was in Houston at a mall one evening and i actually felt uncomfortable walking to my car at night. There were a few thuggish guys "hanging out" and it was a new experience for me.

I dont know if it was because i was with my girlfriend or not, but you do tend to feel "responsible" for your loved ones.

Later i remember feeling grateful that i took the class and am currently waiting for my license.

I watch the evening news and am reminded how ignorant i was to walk around in condition "white".
