Kicked While Down?

[RaV™]

Hurricane Katrina has destroyed New Orleans and Rita is on the way with more death, but is it possible another thing to arise? An terrorist attack. The American citizens should know by now Terrorists will destroy something, even if it means to take one of their own away, for example the suicide bombers blowing themselves up just to kill thirty people on a crowded street in Iraq, but I fear it will get alot worse when our own nation is struggling to resolve the hurricane damages and deaths, I'm fearing that the Taliban/Terrorists will pull another attack like they did in NY 9/11. I would like to get your opinion on this important matter..

Who cares, people die, **** happens. "OMG TERRORISM!" **** all that noise.

 

Live your life to the fullest knowing that you'll die one day, regardless of how.

[Jeff]

I don't know about the "who cares" part, but your second point is a good one.

[Hallucination]

An old saying of mine: "Death is a once in a lifetime oppurtunity." They might, they might not. But the oppurtunity is there, but maybe they have some twisted sense of 'honour'. But the city is rebuiding, and it might be a little hard to get in there with explosives or whatever. We'll just have to see.

So what about the victims of terrorism (or any other crime) who wanted to live a full life? Should we just say, "Pff. Another death. Who cares,"? I would think not. But hey, that's my view on life anyway.

No, but you shouldn't be full of fear just because some terrorist might do something. Live your life and stop being fearful. Especially since most of the people that worry about this stuff live in areas that will never be attacked.

[RaV™]

IS, I guess you may of taken it the wrong way when you read my message, because i'm not fearing to be killed, by terrorism, and I don't fear an early death either, but I just wanted to know what people had thought about this..

[Darth Andrew]

Obviously true. To me your first post sounded like 'Do stuff that may kill you, and don't give a care about it.' Misunderstanding on my part.

[stingerhs]

Live your life to the fullest knowing that you'll die one day, regardless of how.

good advise, but i think the masses would tend to agree that they'd rather prevent the kind of death terrorists could unleash. not to mention most people would rather not have **** happen to someone they care about.

All I know is that they most likely will NOT attack New Oreleans. The city is already empty and nearly in ruins. There is still a good part of it underwater. What would they prove if they blew something up there?

I'm not talking about being attacked their i'm talking about attacks elsewhere..

[lukeiamyourdad]

Why would they waste explosives when the forces of nature are already doing the job? The US will lose an awful lot of money in the reconstruction effort. Terrorists don't even have to lift a finger, they'll just say:"Allah punished the evil Americans."

 

And I agree with IS.

...Live your life to the fullest knowing that you'll die one day, regardless of how...

 

werdz.

 

Fear can be a terrble affliction. A little bit of fear is normal, and quite healthy, but when it starts influencing how you live your life, then it has taken over, and that is bad... There's a cool phrase in the book "Dune" which states "Fear is the mindkiller" ...so true

Not to mention all this worrying about terrorism only proves they won. And their goal is to cripple America, hence the attacks on financial buildings and political centers. It's common sense if you just look at their targets. America is already crippled after Katrina.

[Renegade Angel]

I do fell bad, but they were warned to leave a week befire Katrina. its half their own falt.

[Lando Griffin]

yeah there were the retarded people that said " no i protected my 20' inch tv, it has 34 channels its my best friend" those people are so fu**in stupid. When theres a giant hurricane comin u get ur a** out of there.Now people have to pay for those people who stayed and died or their muchin off someone else. Its just so stupid, and how did we not expect something bad to happen, our president is the same guy who sat an listened to a 5 year olds book in a kinder garden class when 911 happened.

[KNeo]

We are the terrorists of the earth. Everyday we drive our cars and pollute the air, we cut down trees, and a million other types of destructive behavior. There's too much terrorism apart of everyday life. So if your going to worry about any kind of terrorism, focus on your own acts of terrorism first.

Maybe they didn't have anywhere to go?

Don't over generalize everything, you don't know why those people stayed. They could have had a damn good reason.

In his defense, nobody was expecting 9/11.

[El Sitherino]

Plus what exactly would he do? "Well kids, looks like someone has blown up the two largest buildings in the world. And it might be an attack based on extreme hate. And we aren't sure what's safe."

 

I'm not sure I'd want him breaking news to my kids anyway.

Other then the people that love New Orleans so much to stay, there are people that can't afford to leave New Orleans, because they live in so much poverty..makes you wonder if Live8 did help the US, if Live8 was helping the US at all..

Ok. Say goodbye to the comforts of your home then. Oh, and don't forget any kind of motorized travel. And while we're at it, let's just cut off all communication, since the power it takes to run our computers, telephones, etc are provivded by *gasp* power plants. Of course we obviously need to need to cut down on pollution, but what you propose would grind the world to a halt.

I'm not proposing that we all just stop driving and start living back in the dark ages or something. It's too late to do something drastic like that, the world is too dependent on those kind of things. And I know I really don't feel like saying goodbye to my gaming consoles. What I'm getting at is that people worry too much about the kind of terrorism that comes from people's attacks on other people. I've seen people start complaining about the bombings in Iraq and then throw their cigarette butt onto the ground like nothing. It just feels like we should think about our own acts of terrorism before we judge anyone else.

bleh..war doesn't give life..it TAKES life..

But if 'self-imposed' terrorism was our top focus, terrorists would own the place. The world would be a better place if we achieved a healthy balance between the two.

[lukeiamyourdad]

The environment and terrorism are two different subjects, both are important in their own right. However, for me, one is more important. Why? Because I have less chance of dying in a terrorist attack then living in a treeless world breathing oxygen in a can.
