Thus opening the floodgates for homegrown terrorists (McVeigh, anyone) to wreak their havoc unmolested. What a great idea! :rolleyes:
jarbaby,
Why are you being anal about the obvious?

Basic problem of available resources. The moment you say that one group should receive more attention, then you are diverting security resources away from other groups. Terrorists then take advantage of this, and use people from these (now safer) groups.
Well if your searching everyone (like we are) it won’t make that much sence to recruit outside your group. To recruit outside of your group also requires time and risk of being discovered.

Unmolested? This is the kind of assinine comment that is just thrown in for kicks I guess. I never said to quit searching everyone for the 3rd time now.
No, it’s the kind of asinine response that is appropriate to your own asinine comment, still uproven, about the percentage of terrorists who are Middle-Eastern.
We’re in the Pit, right? Prove your assertion, or kindly fuck off.
You’ve already mentioned instances of people who would not be affected by profiling - Richard Reid (British) and John Walker (American).
These people are recruiting for a cause, and have been for many years. The weakness in your logic is because you view this as a nice, you versus them, easily definied situation. It isn’t. The people looking to do this do not fit into the neat little pigeonholes you’d like to create. If you profile, they will take advantage of it. And in the meantime you will incite further bad feeling and accusations of anti-arab policies.
I’m still snickering that y’all are using words such as “asinine” and “anal” in a thread about anal beads :).
MtgMan I’m glad that my initials amuse you, it reminds me of the time I showed a thread to my OP and said about BBJ, “That’s me.”
“You named yourself after a blow job?!”

BBJ-
email me- I have a work- related question for you.

Mr. Fuck orr Avalonian,
If you don’t have enough common sence to know who is responsible for a majority of the terrorist acts on us and our allies take the test moron. Bet you still can’t pass.
Hmm…now you’re just looking at a pattern, and yet on page one of this very thread you said:
THAT’S the cite we’re looking for.
BottledBlondJeanie.
I got a sight you got to see girl. I have never seen this stuff so cheap.
Gotta watch that plane security though. They will let the Ayatollah right on the plane while checking out your toys.
I can relate to what your saying. Vegas was a big eye opener to me.
Were you travelling through phoenix?
[Monty Python] Now that’s what I call proof![/Monty Python]
As jarbabyj pointed out, your original assertion was that 99% of terrorist acts are committed by young Middle Eastern men. Am I to understand that by your example of “patterns” you are backing away from this assertion?
Glad you see it my way.
So, umm, you gonna be back down here any time soon?
Jesus on a stick. From loomisfoil’s cite:
Did anyone else hear “Do you want to get on this plane?” spoken in the same tones as “Who’s you daddy?” Yick. These people’s power trips are sickening.
I wonder if the airlines will refund/replace plane tickets for missed flights in these cases.
Avalonian,
The point was that a great majority are and we would be stupid to ignore that. I suppose your like the other knuckleheads that thought I really condoned punching somebody instead of getting the point. Debating is much more fun when you work twords a common understanding instead of just dog piling and needling someone to make you feel good about yourself and your scewed views. IMO
If working towards a common understanding means making up statistics out of the blue, I’ll take the dog pile any day.
Jarbooby,
What’s up with all the anger on this BB? I’ve never seen anything like it. If someone doesn’t hold the same opinions as the guys in your little circle jerk then you all dog pile. I have been to many BBs but never one with the hostility you have here. There of course are the exceptions. Gary was civil and straight forward. BottledBlondJeanie seems cool. Giraffe again was straight forward but the rest of you should become school teachers and sell your line of shit to kids because there the only ones you have a chance of convincing with your weak ass debating skills. Oh wait, there probably are not any openings in our public schools as there are already a bunch of you in there. LOL
Agreed, jar.
BIG_DADDY, next time you want to work towards a “common understanding,” you might do better by not using hyperbole, exaggeration, insult, and invented numbers as your tools. They do not serve your purpose.
Until then… pile it on, baby.
I was under the impression that passengers can only be searched by someone of the same sex if there is any touching.
Whatever Avalonian you still never made one point about the subject which is as weak as it gets. Jarbooby too.
Diane,
Would you preffer that?
No matter how many times you repeat this, it will still be bullshit. Have you heard of the IRA? ETA? Hell, not even “99%” of the terrorist attacks in America in the past few years have been caused by Islamic guys. Let’s see: McVeigh - white. Richard Reid: English muslim. Anthrax mailers - who the fuck knows? 9/11 - the obvious. So far we’re running at 50%. If we throw it open worldwide and include the timeframe your highly selective list spans, you wouldn’t even reach that figure.
So anyway; got another website you can cut and paste a bunch of rhetoric from, or will you make up some of your own now?
