Finally someone has the orchestras to crack down on these loonies.

[ummmm]

That's also concerning but I don't think it can be compared to extremists who set out to kill.

[spathiphyllum]

No you're right.. Drink drivers cause so many more deaths annually in the UK

[ummmm]

But they don't plan to go out and kill as many people as they can. There's the difference!

I don't agree with what China is doing btw.

[spathiphyllum]

no, you're right they don't.. However statistics show you're more likely to be harmed / killed via a car crash with a drunk driver than you are to even see terrorism in the flesh.

Spath, it was reported yesterday that the number of terror suspects is way beyond the ability of security services to monitor them and that radicalisation can take place within hours. What’s happening in this country should concern you. Your complacency does the thousands of victims of these madmen a great disservice.

I read this initially in my hard copy of the London Evening Standard last night but for some unknown reason it isn’t on their website.

Your drink driving analogy is nonsense and serves only to attempt to detract from the issue under discussion.

[spathiphyllum]

My drink driving analogy is not nonsense.. Do you know how offensive that is to the average of 950 people who have died annually through drink driving from 1979 - 2016

[spathiphyllum]

I'm saying, Naomi in my discussion with Ummmm that the probability to be killed by a drink driver is much, much greater than that of a Islamic extremist. And that is true!

I think it's less than 100 potential terrorist attacks happen every year with special forces neutralising 89% of them.

on average nearly 1000 people are killed annually by drink drivers.

(in UK^)

[naomi24]

Your analogy is nonsense. There is no comparison between a drink driver who kills without pre-meditated intent and a jihadist who kills with very definite pre-meditated intent - so stop with the usual cries of 'offence'. It doesn't work.

[spathiphyllum]

You're right, but we can make a comparison between the likelihood of being killed be either or. Especially when it comes to "concerns" we must feel daily.

[naomi24]

spath, this is not about probability or statistics. It's about madmen slaughtering and creating havoc, not just here, but all over the world.

[BANANASPLITS]

what frightens me is spathiphyllum believes what he says on here....disturbing

[spathiphyllum]

Which we can analyse with probability and statistic.

[spathiphyllum]

Ohh bananasplits.. Don't be frightened over me!! You realise there are extremists that deserve your every worry and woe?

[naomi24]

spath, do you ever think about what you're saying - or do you just ramble on regardless?

[spathiphyllum]

I'm not sure that is valid of a response. We must just come from different perspectives Naomi and that is fine.
