We are on our way to Europe and will be visiting countries with a “severe” terrorism threat; London, Paris and Belgium. I’m feeling excited but also very nervous about it. When I last visited years ago, there was no such threat. Am I being silly? I’m trying to hide my anxiety from my kids, who are beyond excited. |
That’s why wealthy white folk are flocking to Iceland. |
Like everywhere, you need to stay alert. That said , there are more crazies in The USA than Europe. |
No. I live in DC now and was in NYC before; I don't think Paris is any more of a target than home. |
No, I never do. Things are going to happen. I still live my life. |
This. I don’t assume any public space is safe from a terrorist attack, but we refuse to stay home. |
No. I worry more about people with guns here. |
No. I’ve been to all 3 of those recently and I didn’t worry about it. I feel like major US cities are just as risky. |
All the nuts are in America |
If you live in DMV area, you should be used to living in a high risk area. |
I understand your worry OP. However I agree with PP that guns in USA are a greater risk |
+1000 |
Correct. I’m rarely more anxious than when I’m in a movie theater in the US. |
+1 on more crazies here than there |
USA has more mass shootings than where you're going. |
