This is kinda how I see things too.
if you tried to be the victim of a terrorist attack - you couldn't - only they know when & where the next attack will be.
You got more chances of dying in a car crash; honestly, than dying in a terrorist attack.
Both are out of your control.. so no point to worry abou 'em.. if they happen they'll happen, just live every day like it's your last...
well, ya know... You hear Las Vegas is a target.. now tell me, what terrorist group will tell you exactly where they will hit next? none! It's just to misguide everyone.. You tell everyone you will attack this place, all the police, army or whatever watches that place and during this time the terrosist fucks are totally free to attack the real target with no fear of getting caught. make people believe this place is the target when it's really not just to get all the attention on that one place while the real target is there in the open with no protection. like the terrorists are gonna tell you a week or 2 or 3 in advance
"Oh hey man, we're gonna attack this place later.. just thought I'd let you know"

There's a difference between living here in the Netherlands, and living in the US.
Remember these terrorists all hate the US, but don't hate the Netherlands.
There's news about attacks on the US daily, but non on the Netherlands.
Specially when these places are named specificaly, it make me think twice....
Fuck that, what kind of pussy is afraid of a muslim?
You must be the dumbest fuck on this planet!
Wait till the guy stands in front of you with his backpack full of C4
I honestly cant believe that after what happened in your country, how 3k people were killed, you guys react like this. Naive and arrogant.
Fucking the muslims, fuck the terorists, its bullshit, blah blah.
Unbefuckinglievable.
What do you guys need to open your eyes? Another attack? You think because the security is tightened its all good now?
I hope nothing like 911 will happen again but for some reason i wish something would happen again so you will shut your arrogant pie holes and start thinking instead of calling everyone a pussy.

And if it did happen again? I still wouldn't change my life. Why should I? IF I'm going to die tomorrow, would I rather spend the next 24 hours doing something I enjoy (i.e. going to Vegas and spending time with friends) or sitting at home in a closet with purified water and crackers?
Heck, since they are saying Vegas is a target, it's going to be one of the safest places to be with the security ramped up.

Yeah, this is easy: looking for extremities.
Ofcourse you don't have to sit in your closet with purified water and crackers...
But why go LOOK for danger? It is now know Las Vegas is on the target list, right? I'm not saying you shouldn't go if you want to go. Just saying that it's not smart to think the way you're doing now.
Let's say you need to wash windows of a building 300 feet high.
You know there's a big change you make a bad step and plunge to death. You COULD use a safety rope.
What you're saying now is: to hell with this safety rope! If I'm going to die, I die. That's stupid.
About the tightened security: has it ever occured to you that even with that tight security it's not THAT hard to do it.
Let's just say you could take a gallon of gasoline from your car, and put it in soda bottles or whatever. Perfect for an attack, even if it's not that large scale. There's probably more stuff to work with over there. So fuck that.
A Pentagon official told CNN on Wednesday the possibility of an attack using an airliner -- either one coming to the United States from Mexico or an Air France plane -- remains a major concern
Ofcourse i booked my flight with Air France...this doesnt make things better.
Originally posted by Nembrionic Yeah, this is easy: looking for extremities.
3000+ people have died in terrorists attacks since I can remember (40+ years). Saying that you stand a chance of dying because if a terrorist attack IS an extremity.

Who's "looking" for danger? I'm doing something I already scheduled. If someone who knows what they're talking about tells me the day before I leave that there's a 100% chance that Vegas will be targeted while I'm there, that's a different situation. But that's NOT what's happening here.

Again: a) NO ONE is saying "there's a big chance" people are going to die in Vegas due to terrorists while we're there and b) STATISTICS show that you DO have a greater chance of falling off the side of a 300 story building if you don't use a safety rope - they do NOT show you're in danger of being killed by a terrorist any where in the US.

Yep - which means you have just as much a chance of being killed by a terrorist OUTSIDE Vegas as I do INSIDE Vegas with the current information. In addition, as I stated previously, you have a MUCH better chance of being killed in your car tomorrow than EITHER of us has being killed by a terrorist.
Again - we're all free to do whatever we want, but I have no intention of a bunch of terrorists controlling my life. If I get killed by them, then I'll get my name in the paper and my family might get a big check from Uncle Sam. That's a lot better scenario than if I die in my sleep.

Thanks you made it to my shit list with your complete idiotic childish arrogant reply.
Id like to see you step in a plane of an company that is chosen by terrorists to use in possible attacks. And even better a plane that goes to a destination that is choses as a potential place of attack.
Yeah.. The 3000 people that died on 9/11 were fucking pussies. I mean come on, they got killed by muslims.. It was media hype. The planes and towers were fake..

i already got the car thing covered. I stop driving freeways years ago, I think the chances of dying in a car accident in inside streets is not very likely. So if you totally avoid freeways, chances of dying in a car accident is not very likely right? I avoid fwy's because there's a higher chance getting in a serious accident, and I don't think I am comfortable drive it anymore after avoiding it for like 3-4 years now.
I don't fly and don't drive freeways so I should live long I hope .....

So everyone go to Vegas and have fun!
Cheers!
90% of this board wouldnt have stepped into a plane to NY 1 week after 911 - now years later its all forgotten and nothing will happen again...because...er...because somebody said that. fuck the muslims, pussies blah blah...pure arrogance.
