Why are some Americans such pussies?
So many live in downtown area where they are more likely to get shot and would not think of moving, cos the all night deli's are good.
But one terrorist incident and they all disappear.

Well let me address a few issues here.
#1 as I stated in my first post on this thread everyone..including you has a phobia.
Are you challenging yourself daily in fighting that phobia?
No...I doubt it.
I can't speak for marcus and don't know exactly why he is afraid of flying but his fear while "irrational" or "unrealistic" is still valid as any fears or phobias you have.
#2 re: the terrorist comment...sorry but we pussy americans don't live in a world where bombings and planes running into buildings killing 3,000 + people in less than an hour occur on a regular basis and just accept this as something we should just forget about and go on living normally.
I'm also sorry some people in parts of the world see war on a daily basis, and live with this type of tragedy all their lives and have grown accustomed to it.
We have violence in this country but not in such a large scale as 3,000 people dying in a matter of minutes.
And also...it is us pussy americans that all these fanatics wish to kill. When we visit other countries regardless of where we are it is our heads that have price tags...it is our lives they wish to snuff out...and damn the innocent bystanders which will be the good people of whatever country we are stationed in, or visiting.
