More complete nonsense LMAO. http://today.reuters.com/news/artic...=&cap=&sz=13&WTModLoc=NewsArt-C1-ArticlePage1 It's only a matter of time before we hear of a report that al Qaeda has hatched a plan to remove all the oxygen from the air we breath.
Maybe you missed that! Are we all not already breathing air without oxygen?, I thought the only air on offer was muslim air very contaminated but all thats available to breath
I can understand that Al Qaeda moves over their activity to the web, since they suffer defeat after defeat after defeat after defeat.. on the battlefield. There was lots of internet terrorism as a part of the M-pictures riots. Many terrorists then started to hack sites owned by Denmark/UK/US residents.
Curious question for you AGSo you think if some of these cats had a nuke, they wouldn't use it? Do you think these people are relatively dangerous and should be a concern? I'm refering to extreme muslims. And please no reference to Bush & corp...I just want your perspective on EM.
I believe that there are extremists in the world sir but I believe that the threat is way over exaggerated to make people fear it more than they should do. As for the nuke threat, can you see them having the nouse to pull something off like that? It's not as simple as 19 pilots that could not even fly small planes taking over 4 airliners in US airspace and being undetected whilst expertly hitting 3 of their 4 targets. Most of the shit we read every day (like the threat of al-CIAda planning to bring down banks via the internet) is complete BS as there is never any concrete evidence, just like 9/11, just like 7/7, just like the crazy liquid bomb plot to blow up 12 airliners it's all a pile of shit. Of course we have to be wary, but the threat has to be a real and plausable threat, most of the crap we hear in the media is just utter nonsense. The sheeple read it, and digest it, and see it as being 100% accurate when most of the time it is not.
Generally, I agree with you. I'm actually more concerned about domestic issues than terrorism e.g immigration, entitlements, and monetary policy. That said, I think we should still do anything within reason to prevent a nucleur attack on America. As long as the world doesn't descent into that, we'll move forward. A nuke planted in America would be very hard, actually. It seems that case nukes have a very short lifespan, and require a team of players. Not impossible, though...and should be on our radar of concerns. To me, I see it more feasible that place like Pakistan are overthrown by terrorists...and there's nukes there already. So a show-down would likely ensue very quickly...if that was to happen. -------------------------------------------- As far as 9/11 goes...some of them did jet simulations. And while a jet varies in many ways with a small plane, fundamentally a general understanding of them is all that's needed. But I will say what was done on the Pentagon was rather interesting...but given you look into certain things it make not be that completely extraordinary. Cool. Yes, the media makes money that way....it's called a hook. ------------------------------------------------------- What sort of things could we do to prevent this in your perspective ie threats of this nature? Well, I don't think anything should be wholly digested without some background check. But what are you going to do!? *shrug* I try not to view people as sheeples if I think they're wrong...rather I view them as either a bit lazy or a bit bias. Most of the time that explains it. I must say that almost everyone I've known has been either/or at one point in their life.
Fer everything, be very afraid, boogymen under the bed. its all just propoganda designed for republican idiots. How many americans killed by terrorists? How many americans killed by gun crime? How many americans killed by Car Accidents? How many americans killed by drug overdoses? Funny how the lowest killer of american lives is getting the highest coverage?
Can you explain how you've got to that conclusion? I think it's a matter of how the lifes are taken. We are all going to die some day, but how..
Well, you don't have to think it's an overt/constant danger. Terrorism isn't something that should require an entire army (well in most circumstances); but it's delusional to ignore it. If the 9/11 hijackers conspired to do what the were alleged to consider ie to fly a plane into an active nucleur facility....then they could have vacated a huge part of the east coast for thousands of years. To require them to kill millions before being weary of their existence, is to be a bit too trusting....with people whom think of us as 'dirt'. I deny the extreme views of the spectrum on this. You have to take reasonable actions to contain the threat and/or nullify it. The choses and method are vast, but they aren't neligible.
Simple, I have a brain and am not afraid to use it. Is that supposed to make sense? Your joking right?
Just because you use your brain, doesn't mean you comes with the right conclusion. I think you better backup your analyse a little bit, especially since we know that terrorist groups have used large scale hacker attacks in the past. Nope, I wasn't. 3000 people dying in a couple of hours as a cause of violence raise more eyebrows than 300000 people dying in a peaceful manner over a few years.
So have 10 year old script kids, want to go invade a primary school? and give me an example of a "large attack" can you? Ahh I see, so because its well publicised its an excuse to go ape and invade a bunch of countries but if you kill someone in a quiet subtle fashion its ok?
For example, lot's of websites in Sweden/Denmark/UK/US was hacked after the Mohammed cartoons. Well, more people will accept that then attacking Afganistan for producing too much drugs that kills too much people over a long time that people doesn't notice.
Wow, what mastery of the english language. But didnt the taliban stop the growing of drugs, and now that the US has invaded, production is back in full swing.
I have Firefox 2 with the built in spell checker in now, so hopefully, my English output will improve. However, what I said was just an example, nothing else. Generally, 1000 soldiers KIAs raise more attention than 10.000 civilians died in traffic. It's not so much about how many people die, it's more about when, who and why they die. That's how the rationality works for the majority.
Are you attempting to justify it or to point out how people are stupid. I know a lot of people think like that, but its still a stupid way to think. Just cause its a popular point of view by no mean makes its any less retarded. Thankfully though a lot of people dont think that way, unfortunately the US government seems to cater for knee jerk reactionisim as opposed to people with brains. PS, the Spellcheck in FF2 is not that good.
Well, if you are such a big opposer to that idea, then why not just put less energy on Iraq/Afghanistan and try to encourage helping poor families in Africa/India instead? Maybe not when it comes to grammar, but good enough to display your typical misspellings of don't and didn't. And I think you meant 'spell check'.
