Are you cowering in fear about terror yet? (thanks, Gawker.com)
Edited on Mon Jul-23-07 10:24 AM by Patiod
Today's Gawker.com has a quiz called:

Are you worried about a terrorist attack this summer? Well? Are ya?

The answers:

  • Yes. It is a dangerous place out there, filled with people who wish to do us harm for no particular reason except that whole alienating the entire Muslim world thing.

  • Yes. I am not very good at critical thinking and am easily manipulated by attempts to gin up my fear level to distract me from the ongoing disaster that is Iraq.

  • Yes. The government was too inept to protect a major American city from rain, how the hell are they going to stop a couple of determined jihadists with fake I.D.s and pinking shears?

  • No. Whatever is going to happen is going to happen; I am not going to crap my pants in fright every time Michael Chertoff tries to scare the shit out of me.

  • Sorry, what? I was just playing with my new iPhone. Have you seen this thing?

I'm partial to the "government was too inept to protect a major American city from rain" answer.

Gawker rocks.

1. I also answered with the "too inept" answer. It's so true.

2. NOPE! If I happen to see or hear something disturbing, I'd report it,
but I'm not going out LOOKING FOR TROUBLE and I completely agree WHATEVER'S GONING TO HAPPEN IS GOING TO HAPPEN!
