Poll question: What would you rather do?

I promise not to be morbid after this one:

2. If these were my only choices,

I would be killed by a terrorist bomb, because that would mean I was not raising my hand in anger to hurt or kill another person.

5. Let's see, the logic behind this one is...

...if I don't go volunteer and surely die as a grunt in one of our wars of aggression, I will be killed by a terrorist bomb. Sorry, there's a higher probability I'll freeze to death in my car stuck in traffic. Terrorist bombs don't really rank real high on my list of fears, nor does bird flu.

7. As someone who obviously understands probability with respect...

to terrorist bombs, why the use of the word "surely" when discussing probability of dying in the military???

8. Sorry I forgot my sarcasm tags...

...my point was that you can't say that either choice had a 100%, or even high percentage probability, only that the chance is greater since Bush, but it's by no means 100%, which makes the OP poll, imho, kinda lame.

6. I'd rather be killed by a terrorist's biological weapon attack. ( n/t )
