HarryKeogh said:c'mon, we profile people based on race and appearance every day. if i'm on a plane i would be more comfortable sitting next to two white businessmen holding suitcases or two black ladies carrying bibles than two "arab-looking" young men clutching copies of the koran.
i will admit that sitting next to them i'd be hoping security checked them and their bags extra carefully.
and the vast majority of the time my fears would be unfounded but those thoughts would go through my mind. and i dont think those thought make me racist. my country was burned badly by 19 arabs, not 19 norwegians. that's the reality of the situation.
Genghis Pwn said:My theory is that using racial profiling to check arab and middle-eastern looking men (especially when they are from the middle east) will be beneficial in thwarting terrorist attacks, and is only common sense. As proof, you can see the 911 hijackers, the shoe bomber, and the newly arrested would-be Brooklyn Bridge bomber as confirmation that the profile does in fact match the perpetrators, to a T.
What part of this is difficult to understand?
The Fool said:I wonder if there is a profile for forum trolls? I seem to see a pattern of thread topics forming.
The commonly accepted profile for serial killers is white males 18-32yo...Maybe we should investigate all people fitting this dangerous sounding profile.
Ever wondered if you fit the profile of a serial killer?...try this quick quiz.
