There is a big difference between that car accident or that one hamburger too many that might kill you and a crazy person who blows you up. Pretending to be ignorant of that difference is simply dishonest.
We have a lot of problems, yes, and we should be afraid of all of them. Some more than others. You don't bury your head in the sand and hope it pases and you certainly don't proclaim your fucking heroism when you don't have any close persons who died or were affected themselves by such terrorist attacks. Keyboard Hero Syndrome. I don't care about terrorism. Wooo-hooo.
I was just over a km away from the Arndale centre when the bomb went off. As far as I'm concerned, it made me think that fuck this, I am going to live my life to the maximum and not let a band of nutjobs get one over me, keyboard warrior or not. Unless you have experienced it, there will always be people who will claim that others are Keyboard warriors.
