Some fuzzy logic there, pal.

On the bright side, I'm enjoying all this paranoia.
I was a lil' late for the cold war, so the new burst of xenophobia in America has been an awesome blast of comedic gold.

I have a nice drinking game with my pals, we put on fox news or CNN and drink a shot of bourbon every time the word TERRORIST is mentioned.

Hey toejam Animal it's my decision. I would certainly take note of anyhing that struck me as wierd  these days especially if it was by young arabic men.

Animal are you aware that there were instances when some of the 911 hijackers were seen and heard doing strange things and acting wierdly- some of them even openly said in conversaition to strangers that they wanted to hurt America.  But the witnesses did nothing because they guys were arabic and did not want t appear as racist.  

But hell why be offensive only a few thousand people could die...

The situation one faces today sucks. Parnoia runs high and unfortantly this is what our foe wants. You see America/USA is a nation of different peoples brought togather by an ideal. We try to overlook these differences to achieve this lofty ideal. WHEN we no longer do so... then that ideal ie FREEDOM FOR ALL is gone.


 There is nothing WRONG w/being careful... but the thing to remember is that we also had a full blooded blond haired american blow up a governement building w/childrean in it...
Does this mean every Avis van w/a white guy driving and parking somewhere is to be reported?

 xBAT
Of course, I only see what he posts here and what he does in the MA.  I know virtually nothing about the man.  I think its important for people to realize that we don't really know squat about each other.... definately not enough to use words like "hate".

So, if I say that all Masai are better at high jump than the Pygmies, purely because of differances between the two genetically, one being nearer two metres than one tall, the other lucky to reach 1m........I'm being rascist?
Well shoot....colour me rascist, becuase I truely believe that statement about high jumping.

I dont believe that 'rascism' is truely just believing that differant races are capable of differant things to differant degrees, more the belief that any one race has more or less right to exist than any other.

The Australian Aborigines make great sprinters and runners, but you dont see a whole hell of a lot of them in swimming championships....why is that?

Ever seen a Samoan ballet dancer?
A Kiwi thats good for anything? ;-)

White Super Heavy weight boxing champions? granted, they are about, but they aren't a majority.


Show me a race of people better at making fiddly electronic gadgetry than the Japanese, maybe that has more to do with circumstance than genetics, but you get the picture, I'm sure.

So, am I rascist because I believe we are all differant, and some races are better at some things than others?
Or am I not, because i believe that we all have an equal right to existance, regardless of race, colour or creed?

The rights of people in countries other than that of their birth is a differant matter alltogether , in my opinion, regardless of how or why they came to be there, which, I guess, could be taken to be a rascist thing to say, but really is about place of origin, not race.

Why get worked up over it? I looked it up in the Kieren Dictionary. It said:

What I found out is Just like Us Palastians have Albino's too. Yes my first thought when hearing his speach was "not a true palastian", again this show me how little I know of their culture based mostly on TV. Never met a Palastian before in person, Met many arabic people just no one from palastine. After talking to Omar wifes Student, and explaning myself. He didn't take offense but explained most palastians do not leave home for fear they will not be let back home, Now that is a shame, for to learn that world and USA doesn't hate them and want them dead they need to visit other countries and see how real people are. all they read and hear is about How we support Isrealis and want all muslims killed, This is what some leaders and arabic newspapers feed them.......................

You know, a perfect cover for a terrorist would be to pose as a Eastern European, rabidly right wing, luftwabble! Maybe even throw in some RC Aircraft experience and thousands of hours of training on a flight sim....... hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

race has, or should have, nothing to do with it.
however,
it's stupid to keep your head in the sand and eww.. "don't make a scene".. or "don't assume they  might do something bad", etc..

Keep an open mind.

Assuming everyone is friendly or assuming everyone is an enemy is stupid and closed-minded.  Especially if it's based on race.

Demonstrated threat is different.  What's wrong with looking a little closer to make sure there isn't a threat.  If you/she/he/I aren't doing anything wrong, why worry if someone is looking a little deeper.

You can't have security and blind complacency at the same time.  That's what happend on 9-11.  Complacency.
This isn't a "leave it to beaver" world, as much as many would like to believe, and the sooner we all accept that the better.
