Terrorist Fears

I had to put this in paranoia

SERIOUSLY!?

35%!?? NEXT SEVERAL WEEKS?


SERIOUSLY?

are there that many people lacking rational thought?

I saw this on the news ticker on the elevator up to the office today and my jaw dropped...

1 in 3 people are this dumb?

god, maybe McCain DOES have a chance...

Could be people like Joe...

Things like this make me wonder, how different the world would be without the news?

News surveys are such a load of shit anyways..... you could pretty much set the results depending on where you take the group from..

as long as there is news, there will be people afraid of terrorists. I am willing to say the word Terrorist is in the news everyday.

Perspective time: 3000 people died for this.

so the remaining millions could act like retards, and allow our president to destroy our rights? a lot more died than that to give us those supposed rights to begin with. Surprising it takes so little to erode that.

Bingo.

will....I think you might appreciate this interview with Prof. Hans Koechler, President of the International Progress Organisation, on how governments are using "the terrorist threat" as a propaganda tool:

U.N. Observer Says Governments Using Terror to Instill Fear in Communities

I particularly agree with his argument that such a strategy/policy will be self-defeating:
Others may not find it so enlightening.

Heh, a friend emailed that to me a few days ago as a matter of fact. It's a very well written article and actually my post was in part because of my reading. Terrorism is about as scary to me now as nuclear weapons were to me in the 80s.

Why would you worry about nukes at 5-7 years old?

Anyway, I don't even think about it.

You didn't know my grandfather. :thumbsup:

So you are seriously scared of terrorism? Its not like you live in Britain or anything

Its the ultimate war! The war that can not possibly end. Sounds like a good idea to me.

Well, at least the Chinese don't have anything to worry about with their new Segway anti-terrorism unit.

No mater how many times I see that picture, I can't help but think "These guys are beating our asses at economics?!"

"you will be assbored"

"fesistance is rutile"

" may you live in interesting times."


It doesn't take that many letters to change curse to caress.

PEACE.

Hasn't there been an imminent attack since 9/11?

I have a lot more to worry about than terrorism. If it happens, it happens.

I no longer believe in things or worry about things. What happens, happens. I sometimes take time to consider what I'd do if something bad happened, but beyond having a general idea of how to take care of myself and my family, it's not worth the time.
When I was about 8 years old, I started reading about nuclear power and nuclear weapons. Simultaneous with my compulsive fear of alien abduction (until I was about 16,) I also lived every day of my life certain that terrorists or the Soviets (yes, this was after the fall of the USSR) would nuke New York.
Anyone with the disposable income an industrialized country should have is capable of buying out a country whose leaders are mortgaging it on a whim.

I thought that was a photoshop joke until I looked it up.

We had better things to do than nuking NYC.

Hm. I don't believe I have ever concerned myself with any outside threat. I guess between having good friends and a great family, I felt secure enough to not worry about anything.
