| http://news.aol.com/topnews/articles/_a/two-held-after-stunt-turns-into-terror/20070131182009990001 From the article: "BOSTON (Feb. 1) - A judge ordered two men held on bond Thursday for allegedly placing electronic advertising devices around the city, stirring fears of terrorism and shutting down parts of Boston. Talk About It: Post Thoughts Peter Berdovsky, 27, and Sean Stevens, 28, were held on $2,500 cash bond each after they pleaded not guilty to placing a hoax device and disorderly conduct. Officials found 38 blinking electronic signs promoting the Cartoon Network TV show "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" on bridges and other high-profile spots across the city Wednesday, prompting the closing of a highway and the deployment of bomb squads. The surreal series is about a talking milkshake, a box of fries and a meatball. The network is a division of Turner Broadcasting Systems Inc." They got arrested for putting up LED signs, and people thought these HORRIBLY THREATENING SIGNS WERE TERRORIST PLOTS TO BOMB SHIT. How stupid is our country, seriously. We are so afraid of everything that a sign of a CARTOON CHARACTER means we should call the bomb squad. BE AFRAID BE AFRAID BE AFRAID BE AFRAID BE AFRAID BE AFRAID BE AFRAID BE AFRAID BE AFRAID BE AFRAID BE AFRAID BE AFRAID BE AFRAID BE AFRAID BE AFRAID BE AFRAID BE AFRAID BE AFRAID |

| Yea I saw the picture. Really looks threating. Its amazing that basically any small news story will become "Breaking News" during the middle of the day. Oh and I also like the part where it said the signs had been up for two to three weeks. |

| P0ss. True statement. However, there is a reason to fear. This is not the '50s. There is no "Red Scare" that is based off of a witch hunt by senator McCarthy. This is post-911. America is missing thousands of citizens from the falling of the Twin Towers. I believe there is reason to fear. However, we should not let the fear of Terrorism cripple this nation. That would lead to economic depression, poor policy agenda ideals and...as we have seen this week.. Idiots scared of the Mooninites. |

| "This is post-911. America is missing thousands of citizens from the falling of the Twin Towers." WTC: In addition to the 19 hijackers, 2,973 people died; another 24 are missing and presumed dead. IRAQ: U.S. Deaths Confirmed By The DoD: 3079 Revenge has killed more US citizens than terror. |

| >>Isaac Newton If you think that "the terrorists" are a real threat to America you need to do your homework: In 1999 41,345 lost their lives due to car accidents 04,695 pedestrians were killed in auto accidents For a total of 46,040 American deaths. Total number of people killed in 9/11: 2819 Now while every one of those 2819 people are a horrendous tragedy, shouldn't we spend some of those hundreds of billions of dollars on making cars and roads safer? |

| By your logic: Total people killed in the US by Cancer and Heart Disease per year: 1.2m Jews killed in the holocost: ~6m The holocost was about 5 years long, therefore 1.2m Jews were killed per year on average during the holocost. Thusly, Cancer and Heart Disease are equally terrible as the Holocost. |

| @ SomeoneWhoIsntMe allthough there IS be a difference between the 1999 figures and the 2001 figures required to give an exact comparison, the anomaly is negligible, the time period between samples is fairly insignificant. Where as, your example uses samples taken from vastly different time periods, comparing current death rates to an unconnected historical occurance seperated by 60 years and a huge population boom, is certainly faulty methodology. If we were to compare the battle of hastings to the WTC attacks a cursary glance would reveal similarities in deaths, but the global population was only 310 000 000 then compared to our six and a half billion, meaning if the WTC attacks took place in 1066, and effected the same percentage of the global population the attacks would have killed a grand total of 140 people, hardly noteworthy. regardless of Constantine's methodology, this is the point he was making, the WTC deaths account for a hideously small percentage of the global population and their imprtance has been hideously overblown. Of course the deaths are real, and terrible, vicious and horrible, but the attacks are not the massive, unprecedented, unprovoked and senseless acts of madmen they have been presented to be. We, as westerners have been covertly funding "terrorist" organisations around the planet throughout recorded history, we play factions against factions, orchestrate the rise and fall of dictators and democracies, all for our own selfish ends. We are fickle in our alliances and brutal in our betrayals. One of these factions has turned against us, they stood up and punched us in the nose. Our rage is unsurpassed, vengence must be had, blood is spilt to mend our battered pride. Only now do we realise that we are hated, only now do we see the destruction we have wrought throughout history, the trail of battered countries, shattered families, broken promises. It is not just the "terrorists" that hate us, it is ordinary people around the world, we are the bloated capitalist westerners, with our cars and food and houses. Every single day, people are starving to death, cursing us for our gluttony. And yet we act like the injured party, we claim we were unfairly attacked, we break international law to defend our dented pride. What piteous brutal gluttons we are, we have sculpted our happiness out of other peoples pain, and we wonder why they hate us so. wonder why they have killed 3000 of our own, when 150,000 people starve to death EVERY DAY. |

| Mad karma to you P0ss, that was what I was implying - that while the 9/11 was a tragedy it was just one of the many tragedies that happen every day in the USA alone. Yet it is used to scaremonger the American people into accepting any retard logic put before them. | ||||||

| I'm just saying, death toll alone doesn't really take into account the magnitude of the tradgedy. Don't get me wrong though, 9/11 has totally been exploited by the republican party as an excuse for anything. |
