I got over that feeling after a few years in New Zealand - people here just don’t seem particularly interested in killing each other.
As far as fear of cops goes, that also changed when we emigrated. I was reared in the tradition that cops were to be hated as well as feared. Now, not so much.

In NI what was the fear of, terrorist bombers, potato farmers, getting clogged to death...?
@Fireball ok so fearless... got it.
Thanks for the responses so far from everyone btw.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
