Seaoat,
This is a photo of my directly across the street neighbor's home.
As you can see, he not only has burglar bar doors (like me), but he also has burglar bars on all his windows...
Number one, he doesn't have those burglar bars on his doors and windows because he's a white racist. He's not white, he's black.
And secondly, he's not a scaredy cat locked in his home behind burglar bars. Just as I'm not locked in my home behind burglar bars.
We don't lock our burglar doors when we're inside the home. We don't do that for the simple reason that burglar doors have double deadbolts on them. That means if you're inside the house and a fire starts, you have to take the additional step of unlocking a burglar door to get OUT of the home. And if you're asleep at night when a fire starts, a locked burglar door can make the difference between dying or not dying in a fire.
We lock the burglar doors ONLY WHEN WE AINT HOME. Why? Because it's when we are not home is when we are most vulnerable to burglary. Duh!
It has not one goddamn thing to do with racism or being a "scaredy cat".
It has EVERYTHING to do with him and me both wanting to do something simple to help prevent us from being burglarized. Because believe it or not, there IS such a thing as burglary. And when you can do something simple to help prevent being victimized by it, why not do that?
Why is it smarter to brag about having your door be easy for anyone to unlock from the outside (as you did in a post yesterday)?
There is a difference between bravery and foolishness which you seem to have some difficulty in comprehending.
