If the shoe fits................!

Get a grip now ole buddy.

Just know a devil when I see him. He is easy to spot......no friends. Except sociopathic big buisness guys. Oh wait some of them went to prison this past week.

??????????????????????????????

We get 1/3 of all our oil supply from Venuzuela. Chavez knows that and so does Mr. Bush. I don't think Mr. Bush has called Chavez a diablo, but he has called him many things. None good. Just politics.

Oh really? And did the President call him these names on Venuzuelan soil, in front of world leaders from all other countries?
If so, please provide a link to the exact quote, including date, time, and location.

Nice try to give moral equivelancy to a thug dictator.

Question:

Is the UN on US soil?

I can't remember.

United States of America
Permanent Representative of the United States to the United Nations
799 United Nations Plaza, New York, NY 10017-3505
Telephone: (212) 415-4000, Telefax: (212) 415-4443

First, I can't remember what we were taught in junior high.

There seem to be conflicting reports, via the WEB, that state yes and no.

See Yahoo

I haven't bought Citgo in over 4 months and haven't eaten at a Mexican restaurant in about the same. Except for Taco Bell.

But I'm sure Doppler Observer took my place in both instances.

Hey Bad, What you sent me regarding The Avenue was a hoot. Did you notice how effective a tool gun control was? It showed gun control at it's finest. The only thing I didn't see was you standing there with your fire extinguisher.

Who do you think was holding the camera?

If you have a way to post it, please do.

But if we could everyone would get a hoot out of it regardless of which side of this issue they stood. Isn't there a website where anyone can post a video clip? Then it could be linked. I'll look around.

I wish I could, all of my stuff is firewalled.

If anyone has a way to post a video clip, let me know, I'll email it to ya. (not dirty)

bad_ptc@bellsouth.net

upload it to youtube.com. Supposedly fast and easy.

Let us know what the URL is when you upload.

That's the site. You'll laugh also and interpret it totally different than perhaps Bad and I would.

Everybody gets it. You would have be an idiot not to. Calm down. Talk to your doctor, Zoloft may help you deal with day to day shoot outs and terror postings.

The term means so many things to so many people as to be useless. Of course all people who look to you like arabs are not terrorists, but if he is carrying a bomb, he may be! People with unusual noses attract the most attention, no matter their color! People who stink are really profiled. All Blacks with odd hanging pants carry guns and are dangerous, and should be reported. Anyone in PTC visiting who doesn't live here must be profiled. Red Neks are always profiled, but are considered harmless. Cops are always profiled by crooks--the uniform does it! Wonder why all of these strange creatures were created, all fromAdam abd Eve, unless the Creator made some more people later, from scratch, that is.

Remember the Beltway Sniper?

Remember how the crack FBI profiler division said the sniper would be a young white male working alone and living in the surrounding area near his victims?

Too bad he was a middle-aged black male working with a partner from the other end of the country.

The FBI DID say he would be "angry" and they WERE right about that.

What kind of rice are they eating in Islamic countries now days? I will say that if you're a sleeper cell you don't sleep much.

Remember that the description of the vehicle was a White Ford, or similar, Ecnoline Van?

Does anyone have any idea how many of those are on the road?

Somewhere around a bazillion!

It happens to be “THE” most popular work vehicle in the USA.

P.S. statistically, young white males, between the ages of 17 – 28, high school educated, and single are usually your “typical” mass murders.

Taking profiling away from law enforcement is taking the ability to reason away from them. It's difficult to beleive that we actually are having this discussion. If your are looking for a duck - stop pretending like you have to randomly check every thing that moves and hope you find one. Look at the quacking thing that waddles and floats and swims ...... ncreases the odds don't ya think??

If you returned home and there had been an intruder in your house (God forbid and I'm certainly not wishing that upon you) and a family member you dearly loved had been severly beaten and sexually assaulted. If the policeman escorting the bad guy from the home became emotional over the horrible crime scene and slammed the bad guy's head into a door jam while leaving the home, would you?

A.) Understand the cops frustration and say nothing.

B.) Chastise the Officer for being so insensitive.

C.) Report the Officer for brutality and testify against him in court.

D.)Join the Officer's frustration and b&tch slap the bad guy yourself.

Next question. If you were waiting to board a flight at the airport formerly known as Hartsfield and you observed a person of middle eastern descent sitting next to you pull a suspicious box from his bag and set what appeared to be a timer. If you observed the apparently Islamic man place the box back into his carry on, would you?

A.) Ask him, what the hell was that?

B.) Sit next to him on the plane and try and learn more about his culture?

C.) Descretely report what you saw to an airline attendant?

D.) Leave the airpoort without boarding the plane for your own safety without warning anyone else so the brown skinned man would not be profiled.

Last question. If you were video taping what you thought to be police brutality between an Officer and a suspect and the tables turned on the officer. The bad guy gets the officers gun, puts it to his head
and tells the officer he's going to kill him. Would you?

A.) Keep video taping and sell the tape to hard copy.

B.)Put down the camera and try and help the Officer?

C.) Run (and later sell the tape to hard copy.)

Just a few questions to help me better understand you because I certainly don't so far.

Be thankful that you do not understand basmati, lifeinptc. If you did, you would be infected with the same twisted logic you are trying to have explained. He won't answer your questions and he won't make an intelligent argument against profiling. You are asking the un-reasonable to reason. You will receive the same emotive soundbites from him that NPR, the DNC and Air America spewes. And for this he will ease his concious and feel superior to the masses. Thus - the bankrupt morality of the liberal mind. I like your style lifeinptc - maybe there is hope for tomorrow.

Gotta love the commentary from the so-called conservatives on this board. They sure do have their talking points down pat!

Seriously, Old School, feel free to put your political agenda ahead of your country's best interests.

Just don't be surprised if very very few people support your fringe extremist views.

You want to have a substantive discussion of the issues? I'm game. You want to sit here and trade sound bites? Go for it! Wanna sling mud? Bring it on!

Your call.

By Slambarge: Let's sock it to the terrorist, young male Islamics between 17 and 45!!!! Let's profile until we don't need to profile no more!!! Let's make the young male Islamic afraid to be a terrorist in this country!
If you are not an Islamic terrorist- you need not worry. Profiling reminds me of something we call a "cliche". Like, "husband has affair with secretary... news at 11"... It aint a cliche for nothing.

Great report

Im all for it. Profile is the future. Basmati hates christians and law enforcement. He is one that should be profiled Im assuming. When you see a middle eastern male or female at the airports you know what your thinking. If you see 2 black males with their pants hanging down at their knees you assume they have bad taste and probably are armed. If you see a mexican you assume they are most likely law breakers here illegally. Thats life. So get used to it.

abdul - Basami, you have yet to address any of the issues and intelligent arguments in favor of profiling raised by either me or lifeinptc. As predicted - as usual. The arguments are out there - respond to them (if you can).
