Does Terrorists Frighten You.?

Question

Are you getting more and more afraid to go into your city, thinking that it will be targeted by Terrorists.

Answer 1

Yes. Terrorists frighten me, so do thugs and bullies but they are really cowards. I will not be terrorised or bullied by anyone let alone cowards who are too yellow to face me directly. I have stood my ground more than once and yes inside feeling sick and afterwards very shaken but no-one will stop me going to my city or London or anywhere else I want to go or do what I want to do. I refuse to live in fear of anyone let alone a bunch of terrorist cowards - so there.

PS Just read this and it is a bit upside down but I hope you understand what I mean.

Answer 2

Not really because I find violent drunks more scary where I live so I don't go out after dark. If I ever go to a pub, it's a small local one. I also tend to avoid crowds so I don't go to places like Bluewater. I do, however, stay alert at all times when I am out. More for the chance of a wandering pyscho than a terrorist although I don't underrate the risk.

Answer 3

Of course not.

Terrorist kill a few dozen a year woldwide most years - if that. Umpteen times that many people die EACH DAY in vehicles.

The chances of being killed - or even harmed by a terrorist are MIND numbingly tiny - despite the crazy amount of attention the media give them.

As and when terrorism becomes more likely to kill me than being struck by lightning, I might begin to think of it as something with at least a vauge chance of being important.

You are an order of magnitude times more likely to win the lottery jackpot - than to be zapped by a terrorist.

Governments rule us by fear however - and so they play things up - you don't hear their excuses to spend BILLIONS to stop people being killed by falling off ladders do you - yet ladders kill THOUSANDS of times more people each year than terrorists.

Try to keep things in proportion. How likely are you to be injured by a terrorist? How likely are you to be killed travelling to the shops?

Until such time as you are frightened to go to the shops in case you are killed travelling there in a road accident - there seems little point in worrying about a risk MILLIONS of times smaller.

I think the world is getting like that, afraid to go anywhere , do anything. That's why terrorism works it keeps the targets off balance and sadly there are understandable reasons why people resort to terrorism. You just wish instead supposedly glorifying Allah, they would have Martin Luther King's pathway instead. :-(

Answer 9

Is that a serious question? Are you serious?
Are you afraid of things, that may or may not be in the darkened corners of your room, or under your bed? A man who has spent his life afraid of things that may be, has wasted his life. He has been a slave to his fears.

Answer 10

terroist's don't frighten me as much as the knee-jerk reaction to the threat. T4
