You are more likely to be killed by the Pillsbury Dough Boy than by a terrorist (terrorists, financial)

It would be interesting to find out if you feel the same way about Joe Camel.

Only real question for me is how long before unending warfare breaks us?

Exactly this. The US cannot really be harmed from the outside, only from the inside.

Hey, first they don't want assisted suicide. Now "death by doughboy" is going to be offlimits? What about those days when the news makes it impossible to go on? We all need our stash of refrigerator rolls for those days. Save the Doughboy!!!

Stupid liberal thinking,, And you are also more likely to be killed by eating habits than by a crazy man with an AR. So it works both ways.

Do you agree that defense spending should be cut?

I don't think about terrorism too much. Sometimes I do because I can be neurotic about things, but usually I just live my life. Course, the people who were victims of terrorism probably had the same train of thought. I think that way about plane crashes too. Deathly afraid of flying, yet I'm told it's the safest way to travel. Sure, tell that to the people who thought the same thing & ended up in a plane crash. Dead.

As this article states, you are really in little or no danger statistically of ever being harmed in a terrorist attack which raises the question of why we are spending so much money and literally shredding the Constitution over something which does not really matter... think about it.

Im sure the parents of that 8 yr old kid slaughtered in Boston would like to have a word with you.

I say "Bring on the Doughboy". I want to poke him (no you perverts, not that way!)

I would say the PD boy isn't well in his doughy head either, since he seems to promote the idea the being felt up by TSA is warm and cuddly.

Also more likely to die due to an automobile...but they don't really care about people dying.

So all those 2,000 people killed by terrorists on 9/11 were in actuality killed by the Pillsbury Dough Boy (who, unlike terrorists, doesn't exist)?
