thanks for correcting my spelling. i dont do spell check and i am SURE nobody knew what country i was talking about. you should spend some time going through my other posts...i make lots of spelllink errers.
my point of the post wasnt to come up with a rock solid plan to be implemented immediately throughout the world wide airport system...for goodness sake.
it is a satirical attempt to show that what we are doing is fucking stupid. we pull over granny to search her panties, we stop a woman with three children, one a newborn, and shake them down, make them take their shoes off, throw their baby lotion away, take their knitting needles away blah blah blah.
but when it comes to a muslim guy, coming from a known terrorist location, with information that they have been to "training" camps, who are acting nervous, who dont have baggage, who pay for a one way ticket in cash, and on and on...we want to walk around on eggshells because we are worried about constitutional rights? these fuckers arent even citizitens. who gives a fuck if we offend them? they are killing us and some on this board arent even offended by that. but whatever you do, dont discriminate against a KNOWN threat...that is fucking retarded, along with spell checking others posts.
jeff if i was going to spellcheck your posts i wouldn't jump on an obvious typo like englad or whatever you put, i'd jump on one of your serious misunderstandings of the english language.
The fact is, i was just covering myself in case you were talking about some other place i hadn't thought of, not spell checking you.
What happened with your reply however, was that instead of actually answering any of the extremely valid points i made e.g. your lack of knowledge of comparative politics, you tried to wax lyrical about how i'm a dick for pointing out a typo...which was not even my intention. Grow up.
Then you did a complete u-turn on what you'd been saying about this 'policy' of yours in the first few posts. You're like a politician, except not even a successful one, you're the really shitty politician who doesn't even end up getting elected.
I don't know why the xmas day bomber managed to get on his flight, what i do know about it is that it was a monumental cock-up by the US and frankly i couldn't care less. Maybe if anyone in the CIA had been paying attention the whole thing wouldn't have happened, but actively and publicly profiling muslims is just not a viable option.
It probably wouldn't even have worked in Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab's specific case.
Hypothetical situation; you're an airport security guard, you see a brown-skinned arab guy dressed in a disha-dasha and looking shifty. Maybe he's walking a bit funny. You think "fuck, he might be a terrorist, better search him" or whateve.
Situation 2: you're an airport security guard, you see a young black guy wearing baggy trousers; you think nothing of it. He's shifty looking too, and maybe walking a bit funny, but let's be fair isn't there supposed to be something cool about walking like your cock's made of glass? You get a look at his passport and it's Nigerian. Not arab, african. It's also got not only a big american visa in it but also a UK one. You're not gonna think "fuck this guy's a terrorist". Maybe if his passport said MUSLIM on it you would but it doesn't.
Do you see my point here? Not all Muslim extremists actually look the way they're stereo typed. They're not all durka-durka-mohammed-jihad. You cited the London Underground bombings at some point possibly in another thread, but they were committed by English men. They were of foreign descent, sure, but they were British citizens. EDIT: 3 of the 4 were english, 1 was Jamaican.
You keep asking who else has a policy that's better than yours, well, here's one: the UK and the USA stopped wanking their military filth all over the rest of the world for a few months, bring all those troops and all that money home and actually concentrate on trying to build reputable democracies out of their own countries, then all the angry muslims and arabs and whoever else would stop trying to return the waging of war.
You ever hear the saying "don't poke mad people with a pointy stick"? It applies really well here.
