these bullshit news reporters are blowing this terrorism thing way out of proportion.

i've been watching the news for the past hour and they keep mentioning these "dirty bombs", which if you dont know of, they release radiation after they detonate. now, the thing about dirty bombs, is the effect of being subjected to one is about a 1 in 1000 chance of getting cancer, and the radius of the radiation is a mere half mile. now the way i would put it is, "this is their pitiful attempt at large scale destruction, dont worry people, they cant hurt you". but they make it sound very disturbing like "these dirty bombs are not made to inflict large scale damage, rather they are made to instill fear in the homes of americans [dramatic pause] which they have". what the? no, they were made to damage us! its just the fact that theyre shitty weapons! and its not like i side with anyone in this "war on terrorism". i dont feel like im involved so why bother.

another thing. they [the newspeople] are giving tips about what to do to prepare for a possible attack, they said, and i quote. "install locks on manholes, duct tape your windows for threat of biological warfare, have some sort of weapon ready just incase, etc.".

lock our manholes? duct tape our windows? yeah. thats gonna happen. americans would rather make clothing accessories out of their duct tape.

about the "have a weapon" thing. now, they have to use jets that arent theirs to do any damage. are we suddenly worrying that they'll invade america? in what? rowboats? they're not equipped, plus they're too far away. they have no planes anyways.

damn newscasters are trying to scare america more than the terrorists. and america, no matter how high that terror alert goes, just remember, its never been set to green. so what are we comparing this to. they should just make the colors "red, redder, and hell" because this fear thing is just rediculous.
