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!!!

I'm the second one to post so everyone knows who I must be talking to and what I must be talking about but lets quote the whole frickin thread to waste as much space as possible.

Two thumbs up!

Right. Beheading is much more humane. But then you have two pieces of the body to pick up.

[s40euro]

Gee I think I'll quote unnecessarily, too!

I did not want to participate this part of the forum because it is not my business as long as I am not an US citizen. But there is one question in my mind

I am Muslim male between the ages of 17 and 40

Does it make me a terrorist ???

And check the background of the events please.

being a Muslim male does not make you a terrorist ... this post is pointing out actions of "Muslim male EXTREMISTS"

[kenhoeve]

The seeds of fascism.

Here's another multiple choice quiz. What entity has killed millions of innocent civilians in the past 100 years, more than anyone else(save the Nazis and Stalin perhaps)? For reference, read up on the Philippines, Vietnam, El Salvador, Nicuragua, Chile, Libya, and see your daily Iraq news report. Was it...

A. U.S.

B. U.S.

C. U.S.

D. U.S.

Oh, you chose the U.S. Correct! So by your rationale all US citizens are murderers of innocent civilians, and worldwide we should have our rights imposed upon in the name of security.

Your "quiz" is the most transparent piece of crap argument I have ever seen. Nice work!

strange how we run around telling everyone else to keep the peace, while were fighting wars that waste our money and our citizens. And when we run out of wars to fight, we can always declare war on ourselves(war on drugs, crime, AIDS, freedom, etc...) I love this country, but boy do i hate the administration.

Joe just wants that free yourname@volvospeed.com email addy that comes with 2000 posts.

That actually looks like a recycled Ann Coulter piece. She uses irreverant humor like that to get a point across. Some poeple have no sense of Humor.

Oh, and the U.S. doesn't hold a candle to killing civilians when it comes to Stalin, Hitler, Mao and others who have racked up a body count of over 100 million. Then lets not forget how many Indian girls get slaughtered every year. Then lets not forget Rwanda and other countries commiting genocide. Sorry the U.S. can't stack up to murders like that. There is a difference between being a casualty of a conflict and outright murder. But to a leftist the murderes are good guys becuase they murder for the people. While the U.S. is of course always evil.

That was meant to be funny? Irreverant? Where's the freakin punch line?

Hitler, Hitler, Hitler! Using the obvious distraction technique.

Touche!

Then lets not forget how many Indian girls get slaughtered every year.  Then lets not forget Rwanda and other countries commiting genocide.  Sorry the U.S. can't stack up to murders like that.

You forgot Sudan! But I'm not quite sure where this was leading too? You're losing your reader in the details. Keep it fresh!

There is a difference between being a casualty of a conflict and outright murder.

Really, I'm sure all those people in Laos, Cambodia we bombed during Vietnam are waxing philosophical about it right now and understand why we did it and agree.

But to a leftist the murderes are good guys becuase they murder for the people.  While the U.S. is of course always evil.

Oooh, you're going for the "old school" karate here. Attacking a person's patriotism was en vogue around February 2003 till roughly the beginning of that year's holiday shopping season, but has lost the punch it once carried. A better line at this point would be something like "The press only reports the bad things that are happening in Iraq."

Overall, I give your post an C+ for it's right-wing radical rhetoric. I feel that at a time like this it was improper of you to not mention the Tsunami and somehow blame it on liberals. Maybe next time you could also mention the left's hatred of Israel and atleast make mention that our country was founded upon Christian values.

See me after class.

What about the countless millions of native americans that where murdered and "relocated" to "special" reservations?

Joe started this thread, but seems to have disappeared.

Oooh oooh or the "relocation" of Japanese Americans during WWII. I don't believe any were killed, but don't tell me stripping you of your home, your job, and all your possessions for the simple reason that you knew the language of the Enemy is acceptable. We didn't exactly do it to every German family, why the Japanese? Because they were much easier to profile! We're as guilty as any other country, we just didn't leave as big a mess.
