| Soleron said: Also, it's just not much of a threat. This is a misstatement. Acts of terrorism are identified for the way they are carried out and those that they target. "Not much of a threat" is completely a lie otherwise it wouldn't be considered "terrorist." Car accidents, cancer, and 10896 other things harm more people every day. Aging results in more deaths than many things as well. The argument you're making is based on a fallacy. I am not saying fallacy arguments are wrong, but you can't use one if you want to prove a point. If people just ignored it not possible due to the nature of the attacks, treated it like the stats of people killed by falling coconuts, it would all be fine. But the public, media and government each work to blow it up into a big external threat of war each for their own agenda or just out of ignorance. Not quite. Our society is an information-enriched society. Terrorist attacks will not go ignored. What you're saying shows a lack of understanding of terrorism. Such that there is a way to prevent terrorism, it is better education of young people BEFORE they become ideologically compromised. No, Terrorists are not crazy or particularly "compromised." You can't just "educate" people and they will be okay. There are well-educated perfectly mentally stable people who are terrorists... in fact, most are. In particular: - Paying attention to children with mental illness. The school shootings are always done by that one quiet kid who everyone ignored or mistreated throughout their life. There needs to be early and regular intervention School shootings are not terrorist attacks. So yeah I propose ignoring terrorism 100% (never speak of it again) and fix society's other problems in terms of education and social support in their own right. This is as realistic as telling the world to convert to communism with no corruption the way communism is supposed to be and think it would work. |
