Be very afraid. BTW, clavicle is collarbone, not neck.
Thats awesome!
He died from a broken collarbone?!!! 
The clavicle bone's connected to the, shoulder bone...the shoulder bone's conected to the, neck bone...He died from a broken collarbone?!!!
You been to Costa Rica lately?
Yeah, the old man broke it ripped it out of his neck and then stabbed him in the neck with it.Dartman said:
That's badass.
As the employee of a casino I can say with 100% certainty that this statement is true!!
Bingo!
Dam... thats a hell of a headlock to break a collarbone. No wonder he died of asphixiation (sp).
i love it.
old folks, out doin stuff.
if they ever start forming gangs, we're in big trouble.
That's interesting. Costa Rica is supposedly one of the most "tourist safe" countries in Central/South America. That's where I went for my honeymoon.
hell.
it's obviously safe if you're hanging out with your grandparents.
Totally safe for tourists.. just not for muggers.
I believe there were some female tourists murdered a few years back...
Yeah but compared to Brazil it's a huge difference suppsosedly. I really wouldn't know because I spent a week at a resort so I wasn't exactly "emersed" in the culture.
Brazil=wild west.
A friend of mine wife is Brazilian, he always bragged how much better it was than the US is and he wanted to move his family there. His plans changed after several relatives of his wife were killed in a carjacking.
I've been to CR over a half dozen times the past few years (mostly Dominical, Monteverde, San Jose, San Isidro, and Arenal) and my sister has been living there for 4 years. Its just as safe as any other US resort area - mostly petty theft if you aren't careful and in general the bigger cities have more problems.
The only recent major crime I can remember is armed robbery by Nicaraguans (not CR's) with AK47s at a bank in Monteverde - the CR Swat team flew in and took care of them - most were saved after a 28 hour incident. That kind of thing happens in the US though too so...
Compared to East Oakland or Richmond, Costa Rica is way safer!
You could probobly add Philly to that list...
A friend of mine growing up was from Sao Paulo.
You don't stop at interesections, you gun it.....everywhere.
But hey, when your city is famous for death squads killing glue sniffing kids, you hardly notice a car jacking
I spent a month in Sao Paulo and got lost a few times and ended up in a few sketchy areas. I was never afraid though, it might have been due to cockiness or ignorance.A friend of mine growing up was from Sao Paulo.

Funniest thing I heard when down there was when a friend while stuck in traffic got fed up of waiting and yelled out of the car "get out of my way, I'm an American land owner god damn it!"
so...they didn't find your stash I take it...(now that we're on brazil)
when my orchestra toured brazil in 2000, the powers that be decided to show us their highly trained drug sniffing dogs (jumping through hoops and such)
Hmmm...I wonder how good those noses can be...cause I can smell Colombia all the way up here....whooooO!!!! what a rush....
i don't think prototypical is the word you are looking for.
