    Isn't this stuff human nature? I mean if you hear gunshots are you gonna run towards the gunman?

    Also, this is just fearmongering. I'm gonna enjoy my life here and not give in to fear.

    An informational video on what to do during a terrorist attack is fearmongering? Okay. You realize that some people may actually NOT know what to do during these types of situations because all they watch is movies?

    You have more of a chance of being killed by a falling hunk of rock from space than from a terrorist attack.

    Where's my video training for meteor dodging?

    you see, the pointlessness here is.. anyone who claims they wouldn't run and hide will just be called a keyboard hardman etc etc..

    so in reality... I think it's stupid. I myself would like to think I would ensure my wife/daughter are safe and then attack. I'm a fighter when it comes to fight/flight. my reaction is maximum aggression.. and it has led me to some very bad places in my life. I'd like to think if a situation arose it might do some good!

    Scaremongering nonsense! When in doubt, do what the locals do!

    I live in the UK. so the likelyhood of that is vastly lower than cowboy land.

    Yeah, but I was actually looking at old data. Turns out the asteroid thing is 1 in 75kish vs. foreign born terrorism at 1 in 46kish.

    When looking a specifics, like refugee or or illegal immigrant terrorists, the number goes bananas high. We're talking 1 out of 46m and 138m respectively. Still not in the range of car accidents and cheeseburger induced heart issues.

    This would be good advice in some parts of America too.

    And if you have a cast iron bathtub, hide in it. It will stop a lot of bullets.

    I thought this thread was going to be a variation of Fuck, Marry, Kill. How disappointing.

    One of the first google answers who looked serious, you can easily find more. They all hover around 1 in 700,000 chance of being killed by a meteorite. Which is a higher chance than being killed in a terrorist attack.

    Terrorism while sad is still fearmongering at it's finest. Yes it happens, yes people die of it. But we speak about it waaaaaaaaaaaay too much. But hey, billions are made "fighting terrorism" (and yet attacks aren't less frequent compared to before these gigantic ammounts of money thrown at it) at the same time barely anyone would agree to pay billions to protect earth population from meteorites.

    Well, getting killed by a meteorite isn't preventable. Getting killed by lightning or a shark might be a little preventable but it's mostly bad luck.

    There's no good reason for terrorists to shoot people for mostly religious goals.

    One of the recent Last Week Tonight episodes showed that local news stations owned by one giant conglomerate were making stations have a Terrorist Watch segement each night. It was so broad that it contain things like reporting on burkinis in France. In a Terrorist Watch segment.

    I don't know how they do the math, but I'm not sure if I get it.

    I mean, getting killed by a meteorite is so rare that I think we had only one confirmed death from one. But how many victims from terrorist attacks in the last years on Europe alone? Hundreds?

    I'm not saying that there's no terrorism fearmongering, far from that. But to me it seems like comparing terrorism to meteors/asteroids/meteorites is a bit too much.

    My time in FF14 taught me you just have to stack to share the damage.
