First I brought back the Crush of the Week from the dead. Now its time to resurrect an age-old tradition on friskyGeek: The Random Post of Wisdom. Youre thinking what? frisky and wisdom? That dont fit yo. Save it, for I am wise beyond…er… Well, Ive read a couple of books in my life. I have previously spoken about women and WMDs, now I tackle today’s hot topic: [drumm roll…] Terror in the Skies.

My dear Children of the World (especially all you White People),

Please for the love of god freedom take a chill pill and relax!

August 16: You refused to let a plane off the ground until some “suspicious passengers” were escorted off the plane. On the same day a passenger jet from London to Washington was diverted to Boston because a woman on board was feeling claustrophobic. August 15: You kicked a man off the plane for simply praying.

August 15: Droppped iPod (yes iPod) causes terror alert. Jesus God-Damned-Fucking-Christ!!! I mean COME ON!

August 18: Plane diverted to Italy when someone found something scribbled on an air sickness bag.

August 21: Iraqi Peace Activist harrased at JFK for wearing T-Shirt with Arabic on it. “you can’t wear a t-shirt with Arabic script and come to an airport. It is like wearing a t-shirt that reads “I am a robber” and going to a bank”.”

August 22: A flight from Luton Airport to Majorca was delayed as police inspected an aircraft after cabin crew found a “scribbled note” on board.

August 24: A flight to Mumbai was diverted back to Amsterdam, escorted by F-16s and some “suspects of Indian/Pakistani” decent arrested. The men were simply “moving around.” When the fuck did that become a fucking CRIME?

I can go on and on…

The point of terrorism is to cause terror. Sometimes it is to make a political point, to profess eternal love for “God,” sometimes its because you cant get laid in this life and thus want to spend eternity with 72 virgins… The point is this: The act of the terrorism is not the end but simply a beginning of their statement. The target of the attacks is not the victims of the attack, but all of us. Us, normal, civilian, everyday people. It is us that have to live with the fear of being the next targets of the Big Bad Terrorist.

By acting like pathetic cry babies youre doing exactly what the terrorists want. Lets grow some brains and think rationally for a second. We should just go about our life and stop being wussies, because the chances of us being a target of an attack are less than winning big at the lottery.

The blame for this fear mongering should also go to the politians, be they Democrats, Republicans, Labour or Conservative. All are guilty of exploiting these times of fear and unease to further their political agenda. The entire London Bomb Plot was way overblown and the more we learn of the facts, the more we realise that the plot was nothing but an idea at best - I mean most of the “terrorists” didnt even have a fucking passport!!!

The War on Terrorism is not a war of bombs but a war to win hearts and minds. And everytime you single out an Arab-looking person on a plane for acting suspiciously, or an Asian for fiddling with his cell phone - you make it worse. Stop and think for a minute before crying wolf. Being Asian is not a crime. Being Muslim is not a crime. Being Arab is not a crime. But hot arab women - wearing those viels should be. But I digress…

Tune in next time, when we will discuss the curious mating rituals of lizards in the Antartic.
