Nonono, don't compare anything to terrorism please: We have a far to belligerous action on terrorism, while we don't do much against other causes of death. Smoking still causes an order or magnitude more deaths of innocents than terrorism (non-smokers) and the people still defend it's ok to smoke on the sidewalk (and defend it's ok to kill Muslims without trial as long as it's a military action). Responses to terrorism are disproportionate.
- xapata 10y agoThat's why it's worth comparing things to terrorism, to reveal how weakly we respond to other threats.
- moptar 10y agoThat's kind of like Godwin's law. It's worth comparing things to the Nazis to reveal how little we despise other bad actions. But we have unreasonably strong negative feelings about both Nazis and terrorism, so it's not really helpful.
