I have a growing list of countries I will never visit...currently this list includes: Iraq, Afghanistan, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Most of the middle east, South Africa (

CBS News' Lara Logan in Hospital Following "Brutal" Attack in Egypt
http://www.tvguide.com/News/CBS-Lara-Logan-1029530.aspxThis is the thing that scares me about angry mobs...this woman was basically raped/molested/whatever by dozens and dozens of people. The violence against her, and other reporters during the whole Egypt revolution is just scary.
If you are American...or really just white, idk...I wouldn't venture to many countries outside of the US/Europe. Shit just isn't safe.
I also don't understand the hatred towards reporters? What is that? I remember hearing about reporters literally getting beheaded in Afghanistan...seriously, all they are trying to do is tell a story...hell even present the protesters side of the story. It just makes me sick that things like this happen.
A person is smart, people are dumb.
A person is good, people are evil.
What is wrong with people in these countries (beheadings, torture, cutting off people's hands for stealing, stoning adulterers, etc. )?
Anyone been abroad in one of these dangerous countries? Did you feel safe? Would you ever visit one of these countries? I'm seriously considering buying some land in Alaska, making a bomb shelter, and just hiding out for the rest of my life.
