Hmmm...

Why not honestly answer the question like Elfenwolf did. Otherwise you are just avoiding your own guilt.

Answer the question liberals.  Why would you draw the line there?  Except for the fact that they died, I bet some of you would have attacked them for assuming the mid east men on the plane would have crashed into a building based on their race.

Remember hindsight and obvious current circumstances are not typically allowed in a discusion of racial profiling.

There was once this crackpot idiot named Velikovsky, who claimed that Venus was actually a chunk of Jupiter that flew off, careened close enough to the Earth to stop the rotation, thereby explaining the Sun stopping in the sky for Joshua.

Velikovsky used to rant at the "mainstream scientists" who refused to acknowledge his theory. He would attack them with statements like, "if you cannot reply my theories must have validity".

Velikovsky made even more sense than you GRUN.

But honestly I pose the question where our liberal friends draw the line between common sense obvious assumpitions ( Flight 93) and their claims of supposedly racist assumptions called "racial profiling".

Now I admit its a very risky on my part using Flight 93 but its also a very poignant case to examine for proponets of the racial profiling propaganda method.

So liberals why is this different. Plus you cant use 20/20 hindsight as a crutch to your upcoming pathetic excuses.


OK, just because we love your psychotic blathering!

Racial profiling means that there is NO OTHER reason than race to do whatever it is you are doing...pull someone over, search someone, abuse someones rights.

It seems pretty obvious to me that there were other circumstances besides race of the hijackers that would lead the people of 93 to act. Such as ... a dead stewardess? A guy saying he's wearing a bomb, The fact that all hijacked planes that day went into a building up to that time.

The only thing you risked here was our opinion of your intelligence.

Apparently random searches are more effective than profiled searches.

Well if race is the only factor in a case of racial profiling then why did a bunch of you liberals get your panties twisted up in a bunch about "racial profiling" last few days when a dark skinned mexican in Ohio was searched and arrested when he said "Im here to set the bomb" in big high rise building. Or when the 3 Florida muslim arabs were arrested after making those jokes and threats about 911.  Obviously you guys factor a lot more into it when calling it a hate crime of racial profiling than you admit here.

If Grunherz was on Flight 93:

"Hmmm.. I wonder if those guys with knives who are beating the flight attendant and screaming at everyone are hijackers?  They kind of look like Arabs."

You know, it is threads like this that make me think that we need to get rid of SETI.  Then we can use those funds and start up a program called STI.

There's a good reason we're searching for intelligent life.  We want proof that it exists.

Well I guess this did indeed go too far. :(

But my intent was simple. I wrote the post in order to provoke a discussion on what the limit or threshold for "racial profiling" is. If you remember this was the day when the 3 Muslim guys were arrested in florida. The whole day liberals in the media and on the BBS were ranting "racial profiling" this or "racial profiling" that. When indeed the case was clearly about what the three men were reported as saying about 911 and a 913, not simply their race. There was also a case in Ohio where some "dark" skinned man was arrested and caused a high rise evacuation because he said something about planting bombs. Again the liberals cried foul about racism - and again ignoring the very actions that man took in order to get in so much trouble.  

The Flight 93 reference was an attempt at extreme exxageration of that idea I see from liberals all the time when they cry about supposed incidents of racial profiling.  They will ignore the persons acts, which would likey have caused a reaction from authorities regardless of race, and only focus on the fact that they are of a certain race.

Its interesting that only Elefenwolf appeared to get my point as I predicted, but too all others I say dont take yourself so serious and I apologize to those who were really hurt.
