LAS and PHX always turbulent?

I've already explained why I don't like turbulence. I don't have to explain past that and I didn't even need to explain anything to you to begin with, as I didn't ask for an explanation of what turbulence is or help with not liking it. As far as your second paragraph, that's a common regurgitated line people repeat without proof because they've read it or heard it, but it's not actually true. Severe turbulence can cause accidents. It's very rare but it has happened. I'm sorry about your experience, but I'm not quite sure what you are trying to do here or why you are sharing. How you react is how you react. What you think is what you think. How I react is how I react. How I think is how I think. By saying you choose to leave unsafe conditions, you just proved my point. On a plane, you are not in control as a passenger, so you cannot choose to leave the plane. Pilots should have a stronger sense, because obv they're trained and I'm not, but unfortunately it hasn't stopped accidents from happening. So again, I'm still not sure what is the point or intent of your comment is. Are you trying to reassure me? Are you trying to use logic or rationalization? Are you trying to tell me I should be more like you? Do you think I'm just going to magically not have a fear of it because you've told me I don't need to? Seriously, I don't get it, but I'm entitled to how I feel and I didn't ask for reassurance or an explanation that pilots know best and that turbulence shouldn't be feared.
