If someone is put off from travelling somewhere because of something they have basically no chance of being affected by, and even in worst case scenarios, have way less chance of experiencing than a car accident on their way to and from the airport while travelling there, then yea... I don't think that should count.

At least not on a poker forum where it's basically all about probabilities.

We have set up a system of licences to control that. What are we doing about the root cause of terrorism again? Spending billions and billions worth of dollars with further security and these instances still occur. We should just live with that being a facet of our lives now?

Of course, let's not mention that trivial matter when 3000 people were killed by terrorists in one day. In 2001, I believe it was.

But of course that could never happen. Right?

And yet 5 Australians per 100,000 die every year from road deaths. 1,200 people who got in their cars assuming everything would be fine and never got out of it alive.

Fairly sure we fixed the whole "fly a plane into a skyscraper" loophole but feel free to point out how we didn't.

Why don't we add the suicide rate too? Not much we can do about that either is there? **** me with these terrible comparisons. Unless it a guy that intends to drive into someone to kill them and is charged with murder (not criminal negligence or reckless driving causing death), why is this even being compared to deaths caused by terrorists attacks? Unless you are saying that these deaths caused by terrorists are unintended?

A US citizen should be much, much more concerned about being killed in a spree shooting than in a terrorist action and yet despite your pathetic bitching, we've done much more to try and stop terrorism than we have to control gun violence.

Yeah, we stop turning foreigners into terrorists by slaughtering their families indiscriminately and behave competently. The horror!

My point is 1,200 people die from road incidents per year in Australia, compared to the staggeringly huge total of 5 people killed by terrorists since 2014, but you're somehow not terrified to drive somewhere.

Quite a few imminent attacks have been foiled recently though, including one to blow up a plane.

So the threat is not as minimal as you are trying to make out.

It's great they stopped those attacks, but we're talking about 11 foiled attacks in 3 years and 7 successful attacks ever. 5 people killed, 14 wounded. Completely insignificant when talking about a country of 23 million people, and not something that should worry you in any way on a day to day basis if you're not worried about other, much more likely ways of dying like car accidents or falls.

It is unfortunate but that is just how it is. If you want it to go back to the individual, change the moderators.

Sure, but being aware that there is a potential threat out there and educating yourself about it is a good thing imo.

Just ignoring it or pretending that it doesn't exist is foolish.

We have agreement. It is good that attacks were stopped.

I think it is okay to collectively call the moderators....
