[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You clearly don't like in a target city like dc. Go post on you local message board on flyover country.[/quote]

I live in DC and I think I have a better chance of dying by getting run over in a crosswalk by a bad driver than I do of being gunned down by ISIS.[/quote]

You have utterly failed to comprehend, or even note, the deeper issues and implications of the Paris attack.  [/quote]

This attack, and others, are an affront against all of humanity that is part of the civilized world. You'd better believe "it's about us."[/quote]

Just because it's "about us" doesn't mean ISIS has a realistic chance of carrying out attacks in the U.S. And even if they did, you're still far more likely to get shot by someone who thinks he's in love with your coworker or something like that than to be killed by terrorists. (And even then, that's pretty unlikely.)

The point isn't whether the attacks are an affront against the civilized world; of course they are. The point is that we in the U.S. are reacting to them as if they indicate that we're all facing sudden death by decapitation on our way to work. [/quote]
