Grow some balls. I'll take a 1% chance of dying to terrorists every year over an Orwellian government that passively intercepts everyone's communications.

- ci5er 11y agoWell, sure. I'd take a 1% chance of you dying in a terrorist attack every year too. But it's not clear that a terrorist attack would necessarily be so limited in its scope/damage.
- dcposch 11y agoBesides, your actual risk of dying in a terrorist attack is nowhere close to 1% / year. It's actually 0% per lifetime, rounded to many decimal places. Statists and authoritarians like to overstate external threats as an excuse to consolidate & expand state authority internally. It's an old and common tactic.
