Despite the string of terror attacks in Paris since 2015, Parisians feel secure, according to the latest in-depth survey by the Paris region’s Urban Planning Institute.

The results of the enquiry, which attempts to gauge how safe residents of the French capital feel going about their daily lives, are published every two years.

Conducted by market research company Kantar TNS, the survey, introduced in 1998, asks 10,500 people living in the Paris area, aged 15 and up, a series of “rigorous” questions to see how far people living there feel secure.

And the results were perhaps a bit surprising. According to data from 2014, 2015 and 2016, “just” 50.6 percent of people surveyed felt in greater danger than before, compared to 68.2 percent in 2001.

This shows that despite the November 13th attacks in 2015, as well as a series of other terrorist assaults, including those on soldiers and policeman, people are not letting fear dominate their lives.

But this doesn’t mean to say that they don’t think it’s a problem, with 62.2 percent of the respondents considering it “the most worrying problem for French society”, according to the survey published in the French weekly Le Journal de Dimanche. …

It’s called “self-delusion”.

Nah! The Parisians are just sh!tfaced. They are too mellow to get scared.

Alcohol does that to some people.

A majority of Parisians still feel less safe than before.

Nice to know that most Parisians are still not delusional.

Until the next time.

Ummm, did they poll any terrorist muslims prone to renting vehicles such as trucks?

They could pull this one off anywhere.....

Are they feeling safe, or feeling comfortably numb?
A full bottle of Chateau Lafite Rothschild Pauillac goes a long way. It’s probably still on sale at a mere $999.97 a bottle (shipping charges NOT included).

No doubt they felt increasingly safe right before the last terror attack as well. The human capacity to get past the tragedies in life is vast, as is the human capacity for self-deception.

Is there a record about how they were feeling about themselves just before the German Army rolled in?

The majority-Muslim city was very sarisfied with their safety while the minority European French were to afraid to voice their true opinions. Disgusting.

Please note that “residents of the French capital” does not equal “Citizens of France”.

SO yeah, the 50% of people polled who are muslim invaders probably don’t feel threatened by terrorist attacks.

They ARE the terrorists.
