Why are terrorists so uncreative about their methods? Here are my top tips for creating "Terror" Like everyone, I fantasize about being involved in a terrorist attack where I bosh one of the terrorists over the head, grab his gun and shoot all the other terrorists dead before they have a chance to detonate their bombs strapped to their chests - I prevail as a hero who modestly says "Well I was just doing what anybody else would do." - except I wouldn't id go "Yes, that's right I bloody am a hero. Bow before me."
Terrorist attacks are cliche. Strap a bomb to yourself go to a public area in a major city and detonate.
I think there are much simpler ways to cause "terror". If I was a terrorist I would do this...
Firstly - Location - I live in a quiet town in the SW of England called Taunton - there's a significantly smaller muslim population than in many places in the UK, and cos we're a piddly little town the prospect of a terrorist attack is remote - on a day to day basis I feel completely safe. On occasion, I've made visits to London and I have to admit there's a slight increase in paranoia about being blown up that I just don't have in Taunton.
Basically, as long as you live anywhere but a major city you have nothing to worry about. Surely, psychologically if you made nowhere safe that would spread a greater amount of terror. So attack somewhere nobody would ever guess and that'll make people think "If it happened there, it can happen here.". So terrorists should attack Taunton.
And the method of killing is also stupid. Let's blow up a building, let's blow up a train station. There are other ways of killing people. Top of my list is poisoning. Just pop to a Taunton supermarket and covertly swap jars of peanut butter, for poisoned peanut butter that causes a prolonged painful death. That's way easier than getting the ingredients for a bomb. building it and have it detonate correctly. Cheaper too, any arsehole could do it.
The effect would be every time people went to the supermarket they would wonder if they're picking up poisoned food - anywhere in the country. Something you have to do every day so there would be no escaping it.
So, in a nutshell, spread fear by going somewhere random and poison.
Have you guys got any tips for terrorists?

Re: Why are terrorists so uncreative about their methods? Here are my top tips for creating "Terror" I think this thread should be deleted. Will do so if there are no moderator objections.
Re: Why are terrorists so uncreative about their methods? Here are my top tips for creating "Terror" Censorship!! So you want to live in maoist - which spellchecker insists is "moist" - communist China do you? First they came for The Singularitarians and I did nothing.
C'mon if you were an insane psychopath with wild religious fanaticism running through you're veins what scheme would you come up with? Something thats easy, would go under the radar and cause the most fear?
Its just a gentle parlour game.

Re: Why are terrorists so uncreative about their methods? Here are my top tips for creating "Terror" I don't feel this thread is offensive or inappropriate myself. On how to perform terrorism, we need to have people focus on the angles of attack, that could be performed by assailants.
I tend to look for solutions rather than problems, but we can have a go.
More alarmingly, when I went to look for Taunton, online, I discovered that it has been declared, by the UN as an international historical site, as well as The Weak Link in the Glorious Chain of World Socialism. The horror!
