It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

So, where I live I'm too scared it would grow legs when I'm in store shopping. What do you use for a lock/security? Or are you in one of those places people act right?

A Kryptonite Evolution U lock through your frame, and locking wheel skewers is sufficient in most cases. Yes, any lock can be cut or picked, but picking them isn't as easy as LPL makes it look, and cutting one draws attention. If you're in a moderate crime area, I wouldn't leave a bike locked up over night, but otherwise you'll probably be fine.

That would be far too vulgar a display of power.
