As i live in Denmark (wich is a part of Europe) i don't fear anything. I can't see why the government's need to send these warnings all the time. The world is a dangerous place, and i think that Paris is just as exposed as Copenhagen or LA. When you see a huge mob of military outside airports or at tourist attractions, do you feel safer or do you think about why they are even there in the first place?

Hey, can anyone still remember the drawings a danish newspaper made 5 years ago? I have always thought about how much other countries noticed it? I DK we still talk a lot about it. Reply to this

Ignore it.

I live in Europe and we're all fine. Even if i'd been in New york on 9/11 i would have probably been fine. Everyone in Europe, will be fine.

Terrorists use one weapon - Fear, thats why they're known as Terror-ists. By pandering to their 'terror' (or media frenzy stories of terror) you are letting them win. Get on with your life and don't let the terrorists win.

The Authorities don't warn you about the immense amounts of fun, the beautiful places and all the amazing food and wine we have over in Europe. Perhaps we could become Fun-ists and spread a message of anti-terror around the world??! Reply to this

Terrorism is a black spot on mouth of humanity.
It must be dominated for ever as soon as possible. Reply to this
