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 lest they be guilty of profiling.

Answer 1

Very interesting rundown in history...

BTW... Why did you have to include Superman there in the first question ???

The list goes on and on...

I don't know... I'm beginning to think our government should reverse its policies and start cracking down again... but not on the people you're pointing at. ;-)

(I'm just kidding, of course. I'm also hoping you'll see how racist your question is, and hopefully reconsider your view. Don't stereotype, because it can easily be turned right back at you.)

Answer 3

Listen to Alex, please.

You don't have to agree with everything he says. Just listen to him.

I don't know anyone who denies there are jihadists out there, plotting against the US and Europe. Neither should there be anyone who denies that there are white supremacists and homophobes and backwoods "armies of God" plotting against innocent US citizens and the good ole American way of life. How desperately we all need to work together to figure out how to face this new age of violence!

But stereotyping and name-calling and unilateralism won't do it. Neither will getting oneself elected by providing the "Christian" right-wing some groups of people to spew their hatred upon, like homosexuals, Mexican immigrants, "welfare mothers," "f**king liberals," and, yes, "Muslim males between the ages of 17 and 40."

Let's learn that not all Muslims are jihadists and not all jihadists are Muslims.

Let's look at how the common people of Saudi Arabia are treated by the wealthy elite Sauds and how the Muslim fundamentalists are involved. Let's look, and take warning.

Not all terrorists come from the Middle East, and not all Middle Easterners are terrorists. But, frankly, more of the young, the poor, the idealistic are being persuaded to become terrorists because of the American invasion and occupation of Iraq, because of what they see happening to innocent civilians. Their "rush limbaughs" are telling them it's all because of those Christian fundamentalists in America. And like most political lies, there is just enough of a factoid there to make it hard to refute.

Listen to Alex.

Let's try to stop stereotyping all those "others," and let's do everything we can to dissuade them from stereotyping our "white American males between the ages of 17 and 40."

Answer 4

Liberal, oh I get it, its just a universal insult. Why lay this on liberals? Its stupid, yes, totally stupid. I as a liberal see that. I bet as many liberals see it stupid as conservatives do. God I get tired of liberal being used as an insult. Liberal means social security, medicare, student loans, medical research, public colleges and universities, the national highway system. It does not mean flying the Bin Laden family out of the US like President Bush had done the day after 9-11...which was also stupid, wasn't it?

Answer 5

Our government has drifted to the left and has thus been effectively neutered by political correctness....

it will not do what is necessary to correct problems.... re: profiling where terrorists are concerned. The ACLU and the Democrat/Republican left want to be elitists and tell Americans how to think and how to spend their money. For some SICK reason, they want a weak America....

Answer 6

Now list every white male that killed, kidnapped and raped... THEN tell the police to arrest every single white male because he MIGHT kill, kidnap or rape someone.

Answer 7

Quetion took to long to read and my session timed out

Answer 8

They still the same old same old

Answer 9

heroic liberal its like intellectual neo-nazi... a contridiction in terms...
