3. Sue agrees with me that visiting Colombia is dangerous.

4. Julie agrees with me that bungee jumping is scary.

yellowstarstruck Can you leave out "that" if you want? Yes, if you absolutely must, but it isn't really very idiomatic because of the phrase 'with me' that intervenes between the main verb and the complement that -clause. CJ
