Nope, .....I really don't see a pattern here to justify
profiling, do you?

So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone,
particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport
security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile
certain people. They must conduct random searches
of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with
proper identification, secret agents who are members
of the President's security detail, 85-year old
Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor
winning and former Governor Joe Foss, but leave Muslim
Males between the ages 17 and 40 alone because of
profiling.

Let's send this to as many people as we can so
that the Gloria Aldreds and other dunder-headed
attorneys along with Federal Justices that want to
thwart common sense, feel doubly ashamed of
themselves -if they have any such sense.

As the writer of the award winning story "Forrest
Gump" so aptly put it, "Stupid is as stupid does."

Come on people wake up!!!
Keep this going. Pass it on to everyone in your
address book. Our Country and our troops need
our support!

regardless if you approve of or deplore the the thrust and the text of the *humorous* email which inspired this article (whether a quoted anonymous email is worthy of consideration as an *article* is a whole other matter), i can't imagine why or how anyone who's spent any time online would go outta their way to defend anything in which the above-quoted paragraph appears.   claiming it supports anything--much less our troops--is ludicrous.  advocating it--or anything else--be sent to 'everyone in your address book' is not only idiotic but the virtual equivalent of coughing up a mouthful of phlegm and spitting it into the public water supply.


i hadnt seen pmgrady's comment (reply#27) til  i reread the entire thread--at which point, i gave it the insightful rating it deserves. 


 

I think you can and should have a focus on certain types of people, but in the end you still have to search the 80year old lady

Why?

Because they can carry the needed material to the ones who want to do something on the plane.
You see, money will make some people do anything.

For example, drug dealers know that black people get stopped on specific routes on US highway, so they hire white male to ship good and may even use black males for decoys while the real shipment gets through.

So instead of having a pattern of searching ONLY Muslims, maybe you better still search others

requiring all boarding passengers to remove their shoes because one clearly deranged loser stuffed half a pound of triacetone triperoxide mixed with pentaerythritol tetranitrate into his sneakers 3 years ago is:

a. nearly as stupid as trying to detonate a high explosive with matches or a waterproof fuse; ironically the shock of stomping his foot might have proved more successful.

b. not very adaptive since the next person to give this one a try may decide to tape the stuff to his foot and conceal it from view with a sock.

c. a dangerous distraction that provides an excuse for not using some sorta ion detector that could identify passengers attempting to smuggle high explosives onto a plane.

d. an excellent example of the kinda voodoo security which costs a lotta money and makes ya think there's really a wizard behind the curtain without really providing any significant degree of protection.

'Come on people wake up!!! Keep this going. Pass it on to everyone in your address book. Our Country and our troops need our support!' (Anonymous author of test)
'i can't imagine why or how anyone who's spent any time online would go outta their way to defend anything in which the above-quoted paragraph appears. claiming it supports anything--much less our troops--is ludicrous.' (kingbee)

Well put, kingbee. A major problem with this approach is that it is tantamount to arguing that if one DOESN'T subscribe to this 'wisdom', one is not supporting 'our country and our troops', and is thus left wide open to accusations of treason. With this in mind, I offer two more (rather older) quotations:

'Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.' (Dr. Samuel Johnson)
'In Dr. Johnson’s famous dictionary patriotism is defined as the last resort of a scoundrel. With all due respect to an enlightened but inferior lexicographer I beg to submit that it is the first.' (Ambrose Bierce, 'The Devil's Dictionary')

Ha Ha! Do you really think the rabbits got there by mistake? All part of a covert op. Silly fool!! Ha Ha Ha!

I thought it was because they wanted Hassenpfeffer!

if pat robertson's 700 club calls for god to curse a group of american citizens, that could be accurately characterized as an attack by *christian extremists*.

Dont you know anything about Robertson, KB?  He prays Hurricanes away!

3The extermination of First Nations of North and South America were carried out by 1 Africans 2 Jews 3 Finns 4 White Anglo Saxons males btween the ages 15 to 70 and so on.

How the right can twist anything to suit their own fantasies

Careful Mano. you are getting partisan!

on Jan 25, 2005

It's always interesting when dumb people try to play history. Take bahu, for instance, who now considers the Spanish to be Anglo-Saxons based on his test and thought that Hitler was a Christian.

Hitler was a catholic, and that is Christian.

What planet are you refering to? Hispanics are absolutley white...well they can be. They can also be black... or oriental, or Indian, or middle eastern. Hispanics are not a race. They are white or black people generally, and are generally halfish spanish and halfish native american.

What planet are you from?  Hispanics are a discrimated minority, always speaking pidgin spanish, and brown!

Check the Race category on the US Census.  It clearly lists Hispanics as a race.

on Jan 25, 2005
No. You are wrong. Look at the census again. Hispanic (or hispanic origin) is in its own category (seperate from race). The races recorded by the census are any one or combination of:

American Indian and Alaska Native
Asian
Black or African American
Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander
White
American Indian and Alaska Native and White
Asian and White
Black or African American and White
American Indian and Alaska Native and Black or African American

according to their own site (http://www.census.gov/Press-Release/www/2001/raceqandas.html)

And I don't appreciate the pidgin spanish and brown part. That is bigoted.
