    It seems that someone would say something like:
    `
    "Nothing bad will happen, I don't think.".
    `
    Why not say just "Nothing bad will happen, I think."?

    This is an interesting topic, isn't it?
    My French friend says " I don't stop at nothing".
    This means "I stopped because I found something interesting".
    I thought this phrase was common in spoken English but now I guess this is a direct translation from French.
    I have many European friends and colleagues who use funny english influenced by their mother languages.
    I sometimes find it cool and I like the phrase " I don't stop at nothing".
    How does it sound like for natives?
