    Its Monday morning and another working week has begun.

    I've read a few bits and bobs on here this morning and its obvious that i'm simply not frightened enough of terrorists and terrorism.

    I've tried to be frightened of muslims but it just isn't working so i thought i'd come to the board for help.

    What should i be frightened of and in what order?

    The thing worrying me the most is that Leicester City might suddenly decide to play well tonight after dumping their manager and we could do with an away win and 3 points.

    Thanks in advance.

    Would you be agreeable to millions of KKK members being added to voter registration rolls in the USA? There would be no reason to worry about that, is there? Then again, you aren't the only person who only cares about sports and absolutely nothing beyond the next couple of months - the long term future considered irrelevant.

    Leicester need more than to dump their manager to win games.
    They havent got a snowballs chance in hell against Liverpool and will go close to
    being relegated this year.
    And no, dont be afraid of terrorism, just read all you can about insidious islam.

    Avoid places doing things Muslims disapprove of, and you should be OK.

    You don't like to drink alcohol, eat pork, or frequent Jewish delis, do you...or crowded sports arenas?

    Do you ever criticize or joke about Mohammed, or draw px of living things, or ride in streetcars, rail cars, airplanes, or subways?

    Or walk past garbage cans next to sidewalks?

    Or observe public demonstrations? Or congregate anywhere, including Mosques?

    Stay in your home. You should be fine as long as they don't poison the water supply. Or air.

    And, remember: there are lots of other things that can kill you, too--and if they do get you, you will only be regarded as a negligible, acceptable statistic by most Elites.

    I've read the Koran and the bible and didn't believe either. I didn't find one to be any better/worse than the other too be honest.

    I went to Anfield this season for the Leicester game and we battered them - I'm just not so sure we'll do the same at Leicester's ground.

    I watched the EFL cup final with 2 muslims and we all drank beer.

    Next week i've got a jewish mate coming over and he loves pulled pork.

    Does this mean the world is going to end?

    This week they may be too busy talking about the screw up at the Oscars.

    ...Probably at the same level of importance for most of them.

    No need to be "frightened" of anything. Praying for due diligence in the vetting process will ease any worry.

    I just checked Her Majesty's Government's Fear-o-meter and it tells me I have to be terrified at the orange level. I can't drink my tea for shaking. Ishmael next door can't drink his tea for laughing.:eekeyes:

    Where do you live?

    Syria, probably a high risk day.

    Turkey, probably a high risk day.

    Afghanistan, probably a high risk today.

    The US, I wouldn't worry unless you worked in a political building or government building. That could be sketchy right now.

    Merwen I didn't know that you lived in such a state of utter terror. I am quite saddened.

    Sad that both police state and terrorists won at our liberties' expense.

    I'm more worried about Agent Orange and his cult following at this point.

    I'm pretty sure most KKK members are already registered to vote, but yeah, it's so much more sophisticated care only about your own party and nothing before or after the current news cycle.

    People are worried about radical religious (mostly Islam). The fact that you know a few who aren't has nothing to do with the price of tea in china

    I don't know, but you could ask the survivors of San Bernardino, Ft. Hood, Orlando, Boston, etc how frightened they were of terrorism before they were terrorized. The problem is that you just don't know when or where it could happen which is why it is called terror because that is what it instills.
    I don't know what the procedures are in England, but I imagine they use the same techniques as here.

    If you lived in Gaza you should be worried- as the neoZionist terrorists have started to bomb it again.

    They bomb ' Hamas positions ' at any whiff of an excuse- although resistance to their theft and brutality comes from many sources- all beyond Hamas's control.

    BE AFRAID. BE VERY AFRAID.
    I do not fear "Radical Islamic terrorism" - statistically, if I am to end in a violent death, the odds are FAR greater that it will be at the hands of a deranged redneck than an Islamic terrorist.

    The answer, clearly, is MORE guns. The GOP is doing their part by removing the onerous restrictions on the mentally deficient so they can buy guns more easily. (true - I couldn't make that up).

    When TMI almost blew, I was among the first to leave the area.

    Never ignore the possibilities.

    OK - So I'm supposed to be frightened of an ideology?

    Muslims make up approx 1/5th of the human population of earth - what % of that 1/5th should i be afraid of?

    50% of all muslims? 25%? 75%?

    When i was 10, there was more terrorism in europe then there is now - I don't remember being scared of terrorism when i was 10 so why should i be frightened now there is less of it?

    Maybe thats it - Perhaps, because we were always getting attacked when i was growing up, i find it more difficult than younger people to be frightened of terrorism.

    If you lost someone close due to a terrorist attack, you would have a different view.

    Do you know Chris, you are probably right.

    Then again, if i lost someone because they were hit by a car, i'd probably have a different opinion about traffic safety.

    You make a good point though - There is less chance of me losing a loved today to a terrorist attack than there was when i was 10.

    While it would be horrible to lose someone to terrorism, the thought of it didn't frighten me back then so it shouldn't really frighten me now when there is less death by terrorism and i'm older.

    I've lost loved ones to cancer, but cancer doesn't frighten me so maybe that's why terrorists don't frighten me either?

    I've lost loved ones due to motorcycle accidents but i still ride myself.

    Maybe thats it! Maybe age and experience makes it more difficult to be frightened of things?
