... The terrorists do not need to do any physical act and the simple reason is they have instilled fear into your heads. Even thou terrorism is real they are preying on peoples perception and emotions.

Its called 'propaganda', - and before we identify it with Nazi Germany and other evil usages, (ironic, as the US government was a bigger user of it before Hitler came to power) you could spend a few hours googling

Google

and

Google

Enjoy the sidetracks :-)

You'll soon see that Boosy is on the money... the West is being crippled more by 'perception' than fact. Not only in terrorism, but even in everyday life... - Speeeeeed Kills !.... 24/7 40km/h limits around schools are saving hundreds of Little Kids.....- anyone seen figures ? ANY figures ? .... Removing corporal punishment from schools is producing a less-violent and more civilised society..... eating large amounts of genetically modified, chemically-altered plant oil IS healthier than a natural, un-altered animal fat.... the list is endless.

Finally, urban myth maybe, but I prefer the South American approach to terrorist hijackings... passengers on the various air lines in the region were respectfully requested to take on board nothing bigger than a .38 - Anyone recall any hijackings in Latin America ?

For those who made comment that it was of criminal nature. i respect your thoughts as well. However in saying that i think you need to sit down and have beer or too and relax a little.

In the past few years with a terrorism threat ever present. The terrorists do not need to do any physical act and the simple reason is they have instilled fear into your heads. Even thou terrorism is real they are preying on peoples perception and emotions.

Let me assure you i am NOT a terrorist. I am increasing my longevity thru jest and lightheartedness.

My advice is relax enjoy life don't stress over other peoples comments.

Reminds me of an argument I had on another forum with some bushwalkers. 1st fella said he like rolling rocks onto 4wd tracks to hopefully take out a diff or two. Once he got "both barrels" from a few, he retorted with the ol' "I was only kidding" defence. I s'pose it depends on what you do for a living as to how offensive some found your comments.
