    well, that "fear" of terrorism has lead us to Iraq, which has turned into a quagmire, with no end in sight...

    we can sit and worry about "what if's" all day long...at the end of the day, peanuts are more deadly that terrorists...


    It's amazing how quickly people forget about 9/11...oh wait you think Bush blew those buildings up, sorry i forgot

    Your making sense. I'm just trying to understand your feelings and people who feel like you.:)


    I consider myself a modern traditionalist. If that helps, which of course, I'm sure it won't, haha.

    No it helps. I'm not coming down on you but 9-11 affected me too. But, and I really hate to say this, I won't live in fear of terrorists because then they win. I've always lived my life by ignoring bullies. A bully will only bully to extract a reaction. If I don't respond, most of the time, they move on and find weaker prey.

    I also don't let it affect me. I came off wrong earlier. I have gone to more Yankee games, concerts, festivals/fairs, etc post 9/11 than pre 9/11. I had never been on a plane prior to 9/11, I've since taken 2 flights, one international. And as I said, I use mass transit via train daily, I did not prior to 9/11.

    Yeah! Peanuts kill WAY more people than I've killed so it shouldn't matter that I stashed 50 dead bodies in my backyard just last year alone!! Ya know??

    Fucking stupidest article I've ever seen. Anyone who honestly considers that article and believes it is border-line retarded.

    When you base morality on vapid assertions regarding peanuts, you know you're dealing with a bunch of real geniuses.

    Edit: So the bastards have only killed a few of us! No reason to take action! Just sit on yer ass until they kill more of us. If the number gets higher than Heart Disease deaths, THEN I'll worry!
    All I know is that to see, and not to speak, would be the great betrayal.

    Of Course they do. I imagine a couple dozen people have been infected by that bacteria filled filth around pig pen. That ill trained dog always walking around with no leash, Charlie is a a trench coat away from putting together a school shooting, and That fucking cunt Lucy would snap your neck as soon as look at you.

    It's like anything "scary" gets way more attention.

    10 people have been killed by cougars EVER in the US and Canada, but you would think it is a gigantic fucking problem. Meanwhile those damn bees just go on killing thousands! Stupid bees.

    Lamps and Falling Down cause more deaths than peanuts.

    How come nobodys mentioned, that allergic reactions, people hitting dear and lightning strike deaths are all accidents.

    Terrorist attacks aren't.

    In a sense, a terrorist attack is an accident. They aren't targeting YOU personally, just an area. Much like a lightning strike. The victims just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. If you don't want to be struck by lightning, don't hang out under a tree or walk around with a metal pole or fly a kite during a storm. Seems to me the same logic would apply to terrorism. Don't bomb people and they'd be less pissed off.

    Well they DO target civilians. They want to maximize casualties.

    Lightning targets civilians. I mean, you don't hear on the news "Two dead after battling a particularly strong lightning bolt in Ohio today." Instead you hear "Two dead struck by lighning while huddling under a tree." Followed by advice on how to avoid being struck by lighning by staying away from trees etc. Maybe we need something like that in our news. "Two dead in Iraq today. Let us remind everybody how important it is to avoid bombing people to avoid a terrorist attack."

    Oh my friend the peanuts do indeed hate your way of life and freedoms and indeed are trying to take over the world.
    Keep on rockin in the free world!!!!

    The economy has polarized to the point where the wealthiest 10% now own 85% of the nation’s wealth. Never before have the bottom 90% been so highly indebted, so dependent on the wealthy.
