I view that statement the same as "I don't have car/medical/home/renters insurance and I've had no problems at all". You could go your whole life without being in a car accident or having your home burglarized or your computer broken into, but how much are you willing to bet that those things will never happen? Firewalls for the bandwidth ordinary people have are a cheap, one time cost insurance policy, that may save you from having to cancel all your credit cards, or explain to your ISP how it wasn't really you participating in the DDoS attack, just your computer.
