Are you scared of terrorists?
« on: November 10, 2010, 08:47:26 PM »

They tell me to be scared of suicide bombers but where are they?
They tell me to be scared of people blowing up planes but where are they?
They tell me to be scared of car bombs but where are they?

They tell me not to be scared of the cop who pulls me over in my car and fines me.
They tell me not to be scared of the letter I get in the mail threatening 10 years prison for not paying up.
They tell me not to be scared of the tax man who will reposses your house and sell it to their mates for the $1000 you owe.
They tell me not to be scared of the naked xrays giving you cancer at the airport.
They tell me not to be scared of the agents asking for my identification papers on the street.

Why am I actually scared of those they tell me not to be scared of?

Not scared of terrorists in the slightest. Our govt has done at least 1000 X more damage to this country than any terrorist ever has.

Not at all!  The odds of being a victim of terrorism are so miniscule, they're nothing in comparison to being a victim of "law enforcement."

By almost any definition cops and soldiers are terrorists, so yes. If we are specifying Islamic terrorists, eco-terrorists, or anarchist terrorists then not so much.

Define terrorist.

On a literary note, I might change "$1000 you owe" to something else. You don't owe them anything.

Well put, but I'm still not scared of cops and soldiers. I oppose what they do morally, and sometimes I get right pissed off at them, but I'm not really scared. Maybe if I had a family of my own I would be, though.

I had to get my ass whipped by the cops before I learned who to be aware of. At least with criminals one has a fighting chance.
I am thankful to the cops who did it though, if it had not happened I would still be a Bush ball sucking statist.
Mr. Shaw I don't think anywhere is safe from "terrorists" that is their whole schtick, but I still would be more weary of cops even if I was in downtown Jerusalem drinking coffee at a outdoor cafe while everyone was running indoors from explosions and smoke and ambulances were screaming by.

If you fear that you will suffer, you already suffer what you fear.

Sometimes I'm scared of the city I live in. I ran away from a skunk, have heard gunshots, and have gotten in verbal disagreements with loud disorderly drunks. In the CITY. Daaaamn. I'm such a hillbilly sometime. Those things are acceptable in the country.

They're not here, if you really want to meet them you have to go to London, the Middle East, India, or Indonesia.
