I Googled "Is Sri Lanka safe for tourists"?
And came up with this:
/// The good news is that Sri Lanka is a remarkably safe place to travel in, and violent crime against foreigners is virtually unheard of – this is still a place where, despite 25 years of brutal civil war, in parts of the country the theft of two bicycles is considered a crime wave. ///
How times have changed.

No the correct option is to do a risk assessment which is really what this thread is all about. The ultra cautious won't leave the house and the foolhardy will go anywhere because it will never happen to them and 'I like the locals anyway so I'll be alright' attitude will protect them. The majority of us sit in the middle and make judgments based on well informed data presented.
to be honest i'm more worried about heart disease or cancer. Being shot dead whilst ignorantly yes blissfully on holiday seems a sweet deal compared to disease. Wouldn't you say?
I'm not making light of their situation, i'm just saying, que sera sera. My time will be my time, and i will actually live, until i can't.

No I wouldn't. I have had both Cancer of the colon and last year I had a quadruple heart by-pass. I have also been to Tunisia and I would not go back there or any other place where I was advised not to go. What little of my life I have left I damn well hang on to.

Prudie, there's nothing foolhardy about thinking "It'll never happen to me". Things do happen but they're incredibly rare - just how many British tourists have been killed in terrorist incidents abroad? (Compared with the number who, say, die in resorts in swimming pools or falling off balconies.) I doubt that the number has even got far into double figures this century.
"It'll never happen to me" is perfectly sound thinking - much more so than thinking "All Islamic countries are dangerous."

No Spath I do not respect your perspective.
I am talking from experience and you are out of ignorance as you have earlier displayed.
Better men and women have invested a lot of expertise and time in keeping me on this planet as long as possible to watch my Grand children grow up and I am not going to offer myself up to some religious fanatic to show how brave and foolhardy I am. I pick and choose my company and also my holiday destinations.
I gave up taking risks 20 years ago but at least I was armed and could fight back and was well paid for doing so. I do not pay myself to put my life in a potential hot spot unecessarily.
