Some governments and businessmen believe it is wise ,as the consequent effects boost their personal economies and power.

Answer 2

I guess you could have said a bit more about this. The question is so broad and ambiguous that it is hard to tell what it is what you mean with it. When the PP Party lost the elections in Spain due the attacks on Atocha-three days due the polls-many left winged politicians said in Spain PP political party’s foreign policy in Iraq had been a door wide open to “invite the threat of a malicious attack”. The Socialist in particular put the whole bombing issue and the attacks on Madrid down to outgoing president José María Aznar, who had allied with G.W. Bush and Tony Blair at the very beginning of the war. If you come from this, I would say I quite do not see the causal link between fighting against terrorism and the attacks on Madrid. Many a Spaniard did not see this then, but PP political party’s take over by the Socialist Party might as well be looked on as the inevitable outcome of a likely aftermath-at list this is what the terrorists seemed to be fighting for, everybody saw it coming. If Spain had not had troops sent over to Iraq, we would not have had these attacks on Madrid. I do not agree with this point of view because it is impossible to foretell the consequences of an event that did not actually happen. If you leave your front door open it is very likely you will get robed in the long term, but if you do, you cannot simply say the cause of it is “I left the front door open”, for you would not be taking into account the fact that robbers do exist and that if you really mean to attack me a door closed is just an obstacle for you to jump over.

PS. If I call you “*…..” and you punch me in the face, you deserve to go to jail. No matter how hard you should try, provocations shall never entice me into hatred or rage-I am not much of a fighter, to be honest.

Answer 3

Why waste your time and energy on negative stuff like this?

Just get on with your life and be around positive interesting, fun people. Laugh with people not at people. Oh and avoid provoking malicious attacks at all costs, unless you enjoy pain and pandemonium in your life. How you choose to live is up to you, nobody else. Whichever way you go you have to live with the consequences, which can be many and varied, a visit to hospital being one of the possibilities.

Answer 4

No, it is not wise to invite the threat of a malicious attack - unless you were a 'Pruce Lee' and the 'few' you are mocking were all like me!

Answer 5

ma·li·cious adj
Having the nature of or resulting from malice; deliberately harmful; spiteful:

harm n.
Physical or psychological injury or damage.
Wrong; evil.

I'm really not sure why anyone would want to encourage this upon themselves....no, I do not think it's wise...

Answer 6

Take the threat - it's the attack, malicious or not which is the problem.

Answer 7

not a good idea.

Rabid dog approaches you. You walk up to it and hit it on the snout. Sounds like a great thing to do?

That's what taunting someone already leaning towards doing whatever is.

good luck in your life.

Answer 8

Get a huge smile started and just laugh. You only live once.

Answer 9

Answer 10
