Are you worried about future terrorist attacks? Options

[*Statistik*]

Bush got re-elected but the thing is that..would he make us any safer? ARE you worried that another terrorist attack might come in the united states? i am.

[*tweeak*]

how many times do i have to tell you theres no polls allowed in the debate forum??!

i may not be a mod, but thats no reason not to listen to me. i know what im talking about. i read the rules. and i actually try to obey them. please, do the same

[dreamerOi]

nope. because i would like to get sent to a hospitalbed before i die. &so if it happens well joy to the world. plus if your worried do something about it. im not worried so i sit around waiting for it to happen.

[*kryogenix*]

Yes, I'm confident that the Bush administration will keep us safe. Think: Al Qaeda was able to influence Spain's elections, but they couldn't attack us during the election season.

[Saeglopur]

To answer the topic title: Yes.

[TheSilenceInDict...]

Worried? No.
It'll be lots of fun. Spice things up a bit...It's been pretty boring, dontcha think?
And the whole 9/11 World Trade Center thing? Psh, WEAK
So, what do I say?

BRING IT

Statistically, you are more likely to get killed by lightning than terrorism.

Your chance of dieing in a car crash every 0.2 kilometers is about the same as your chance of being killed by terrorists.

[strice]

terrorism is just the communist witch hunt of this century. the dangers of terrorism has been greatly exagerated by this president and i don't really worry about any attacks. terrorists are clever enough to wait for a more opportune time to blow us up.

[sikdragon]

well strice makes a half-point. Terrorists are more likely to be bold when their enemy is weaker... like if kerry was elected. They may not try another attack like 9/11 until 2009. You never can tell, when the older terrorist cells start to die off, the younger ones could become more reckless.

And for that lightning statistic, Did you know you can get struck by lightning twice and survive? Just makes terrorism in the US seem that much more unlikely.

And for that lightning statistic, Did you know you can get struck by lightning twice and survive? Just makes terrorism in the US seem that much more unlikely.

There was a forest ranger who was struck by lighting 9 times, yet he still is alive and does his job.

[edit]mistake. it was seven times.

Shenandoah National Park Ranger Roy Sullivan was struck seven times and lived to tell the tale, and Edwin Robinson regained his eyesight and hair began to grow on his bald head after being struck by lightning. Some people have all the luck?

And let's not forget Ben Franklin.

[*Weird addiction*]

no...i live in europe and i care less bout the states...

[anger_is_my_frie...]

yes, i trust our country's safety in bush's hands, we're much safer than we were pre-9/11

[PinkTrash]

Im canadian so Im not worried about the actual attack itself but the affect on economy there is after the attack. I mean, it does affect everyone, people do loose jobs etc because of this, and I only care for that x]
but the terrorists attack when you least suspect, so kasjfas.

[xscore]

no, i'm not worried at all.
when you put it all together, 9/11 is nothing compared to the destruction and deaths americans have caused in other nations.

no offence, but americans do so much more damage in other nations, and most of us don't realize it because it's basically nothing to us, whereas when we're attacked by other countries...nevermind.

[bigpoppaproppy]

yep
being on a fire department and working with police departments and emergency response teams, you'd be surpised how much you dont know about....

[*Statistik*]

After Osama is caught, no

[ryfitaDF]

worry is fear, and if you fear terrorists then they have already beaten you.

as for "since bush won", i actually think their will be more terrorists attacking everywhere around the world, including the U.S., because of bush. but, hey, if i die cause of his stupidity, i'll be too dead do care.

[*basick*]

no im not worried.. id be more worried if kerry was in office... but that doesnt mean i support bush

[ComradeRed]

I wouldn't be worried at all... If you are worried by the statistically insignificant chance that you will be killed by terrorism, then you should be worried every time you step outside during a lightning storm, and every time you step in a car.

Unless you live and work right in Manhattan, there is little to no reason to be afraid.

[miss barnes]

whether bush was the pres or not, i dont think it will happen, or almost happen again.
