I didn't care about the guy who didn't blow up a plane in December, I also don't care about a truck

that didn't explode. Run a newspaper headline that reads, "Truck doesn't explode in Times Square," and let's move on.

1. I wanna know who it was.

2. I wish you might find a bit of empathy

Terrorism is designed to create fear and panic and discord. It doesn't have to actually hurt anyone in order for it to be effective. Think of people in NYC that have to live with another week or so wondering if something like this will happen again. Violence need not always be physical.

3. Similarly, I guess you wouldn't care if some stranger walked up to you,

placed a gun against your forehead and pulled the trigger, but nothing happened.

"No big deal," you'd say. "Just shits and giggles."

4. How about telling us your agenda instead of writing a passive-aggressive OP?

Thanks

[RB TexLa]

6. No agenda, I just think a truck that didn't explode has had enough of the news cycle.

[virgogal]

11. Yeah,like the plane landing safely on the Hudson. No one died,no big deal.

:sarcasm:

5. But you do care about carrying your gun

to defend yourself from criminals that you don't care about.

Unless I've got your position on guns mixed up.

7. I have guns, I would never shoot anyone that was going to do me harm. I would defend my wife or a

family member. Those events are too rare to consider in dicussion.

[sandnsea]

9. Rare admission

guns aren't generally necessary for self defense. And most people really aren't living in fear regardless of how many crime stories the media spews forward.

Although I do want to know who did this car bomb.

8. Do you also not care that Obama wasn't assasinated today?

Despite many threats? I'm sorry but attempted murder bothers me.of anyone.

[MindandSoul]

10. +10! You are entirely right!

It seems to me that this site has an ever increasing number of people coming here just to bash our administration and denigrate any effort to obtain REAL information instead of Right Wing propaganda!

Lots of "Infowars" types, and extreme Right,. . .which is fine (I love a good debate!), but then they should have the balls to identify themselves as such!

[Bluebear]

12. How do you explain all the other minutae that you care enough to post about?

;)

[tabasco]

13. Did you work for the Bush administration before 9-11?

They didn't care about terrorism, either.

[tkmorris]

14. If someone takes a shot at your wife what should the headline read?

"Local woman not shot, husband decides we should all move on"? Yeah, that's it.

[RB TexLa]

15. There would be no reason for there to be any headline. The general public doesn't know my wife and

doesn't care if she were to have benn be shot at.

[tkmorris]

17. True, but if the failed attempt is on multiple people...

Such as can be found in a place like say, Times Square, then it's news. Sorry you don't agree.

Given the immense mountain of garbage the news networks cover on a daily basis, singling this actual news event out for your ire seems more than a bit odd friend.

[RB TexLa]

18. The report that it didn't happen was warrented, but I'm sure they are still talking about

what didn't happen.

[Codeine]

16. I don't defuse car bombs with you. nt
