First of all the subject in hand is partly to do with muslim extremists so the dates 9/11 and 7/7 are most relevent. I thought 7/11 might have been a typo for 9/11 or 7/7. Second of all...what the hell does Canada have to do with this? 9/11 did indeed happen in America but 7/7 happened in London, in case you don't know that's in England. It's also the city I live in. Thirdly I'm one quarter Indian so don't make the mistake of thinking I overlook the whole India-Pakistan situation or the Isreal-Lebanon situation for that matter. For future refference you might wanna adress people in a slighty more polite and non-patronising way and not jump to conclusions.
Well said. Did he just call Canada ignorant when this has nothing to do with Canada? That in return is truely ignorant. And hadn't it been for intelligence sharing on the Pakistanis part, the British authorities would not have been able to apprehend the terrorists.
I was looking over murder statistics in the US today, and 16,000 people are killed as a result of violent crimes each year (Source. Straight from the FBI themselves.) 16,000 people. So now, I'm trying to figure out why in the hell this country is so worried about terrorism. Assuming this attack would've gone through, about 3,000 people would've died. They targeted 10 airplanes, and 300 is roughly how many people are on a transatlantic flight. So if this went through, that's 6,000 deaths in 5 years from terrorism. That doesn't even come close to the amount of people killed each year in violent crimes. I've got a much better chance of being shot dead while shopping than I do getting killed in a terrorist attack. Not saying we should ignore terrorism, but this really shows how our priorities are wrong. The only reason 9/11 was a big deal was because it was 3,000 people. If the terrorists would've killed those same 3,000 people over the span of a year with guns, no one would even notice.
Oh boy, stay away from Starbucks and any other shops like it, coffee is now a terrorist threat! This is starting to get sad. *shakes head*
My aunt works at Logan Airport and she had to stay at work really late to help sort shit out. She was majorly pissed off. Would it be wrong to make a Snakes On A Plane joke? EDIT: I guess not, because I didn't notice Todd already did it.
Another fun fact: You're more likely to die in a car crash on the way to the airport than dying in a plane crash
