    Okay? And? What’s the point of worrying about what they’re going to do when? You can’t predict or stop it.

    I live in the U.S., land of mass shootings and many religious extremists of many stripes. I don’t spend my time worrying about where and when the next mass shooting will be. What’s the point? What good does it do?

        And the equivalent of the seat belt here would be what?

            I’m pretty sure worrying won’t save any lives in a catastrophe, so that’s a very poor analogy.

              Worrying could lead to measures which might help to avoid/reduced impact/midigate destruction of the next incident.

                You worrying could lead to it? How exactly?

                    So you can’t actually give a real-world example of worrying having any effect on extremist terrorist attacks… unlike seat belts. Hence it being a bad analogy.

                    Also, I assume you won’t be at Eurovision, so I am guessing your worrying about a bombing there wouldn’t matter even if worrying did have an effect.
