Fear.com

"What are you afraid of?"
Fear.com poses this question and leaves it up to the site's visitors to answer it for themselves. Responses range from "If kangaroos became a dominant species," and "realizing that you got hit by a parked car," to things much more serious regarding relationships, i.e. "the person that makes you happiest in life can also make you the saddest," family, i.e. "the Amber alert being used for my child," and national security, i.e. "that Americans are hated by a third of the world and don't know it."
Anyone surfing the site can suggest fears not already listed or choose to agree or disagree with previous responses. The total of those agreeing and disagreeing builds the top-five fears list.
The site provides a message board and chat room to discuss fears and what to do about them. Each week there is a question posed by the site administrator on a specific fear and how it affects people. The top on-going discussion is former President Franklin Roosevelt's statement, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."
Fear.com loads quickly even on the slowest of computers, and the listing of fears will keep any visitor around for a long time. It's a great site to go to for entertainment, as many of the responses will make visitors laugh out loud. But, it's also a site that causes some deep soul searching.
