you should have read the second part of that article before you posted it jef ;)

"FBI and airport police in St. Louis were questioning the passenger. Lambert spokesman Jeff Lea said the 34-year-old Illinois man got up 20 minutes after takeoff and said he had to get off the plane. No charges have been filed"

first case was a yemin passenger second was a good ol' american.....

i did read it. i just thought it appropriate for this thread.

Iraq and Afgahistan are just the place of operations or campaigns in the war on terror
Can you define to me who exactly this war is against, and when it was declared against them? And from the other side could a cruise missile attack not be considered a terrorist attack? Its just the word usage, alot of it is very off the point.

It should be about doing whats right, and no offense, but most modern "terrorists" generally "look like" Muslim guys with beards (although they dont exclusively) and the Captain is the Captain (if you really understand what that word means you'll get what Im saying) of the plane. If he doesnt want to take you or has suspicion about you, you'll have to find another pilot, when he's in charge he's in charge and I dont think anyone should really be allowed question that. If someone is being delibrately racist then its not ok, but if they genuinely have a reason to feel uncomfortable they dont have to fly. How was the Captain to know their backgrounds that we got in the report? He reacted, it might have been incorrectly, but still he made a call for what he believed to be the safety of the other passengers.

Then they should be let on the plane. It's unreasonable and unconstitutional not to let them on a plane.

I'm just commenting on people who say we can't discriminate people because of their religion. I don't see that as wrong at all.

but why was he uncomfortable with them? because of a towel on their heads and that thing they were wearing? that doesnt sound like a threat to me. maybe it was the beards...

LOL someone said it was Unconstitutional to let them on a plane, Please show us where in the Constitution for the US it says this? The US Constitution only protects US Citizens, its not a Constitution for the world, other wise they would have called it "The Constitution for the whole fuckin world." Not sure if the two Islamic Professors were US Citizens or not, it is not clear from the article.

Seems to me that a Bona Fide "Terrorist" would try to dress in blue jeans and a T-Shirt so as to avoid all the extra Scrutiny, but I guess common sense does not pervade too far into the general Population.

Did any of the Supposed 911 Terrorists wear turbans and desert garb? Any of them?

redneck isn't racist, little buddy. no more than retard is. just because it's derogatory doesn't make it racist.
or... are rednecks a race unto themselves? no? alllll-rightee-then.
We have to hear this from one of the worst offenders of screaming "racist" when it is not applicable? You chuckleheads scream Racism over comments that have NOTHING to do with race on an HOURLY basis on this forum. Are you fucking kidding me?

How many times have I schooled Buck, turtle, mame,redivider and all the other dumbasses on here about the difference between Prejudice and Racism?

Puh-fucking-lease!!

i don't remember ever having any discussions with you.
but then, i don't typically read posts that are all bold or all caps.
it tends to indicate an over-inflated sense of self worth.
so the number of times i've been schooled by you is zero, since you asked.
and i wasn't screaming anything. i never use caps even when i should.
i never scream, i always use my inside voice, little buddy.

I grew up on a farm. I've hunted my whole life. I'm retired military. I've had to deal with folks like you throwing around the "redneck" term most of my life. Normally, they have been the same folks who demand equality for everyone. You can't have it both ways.

Your post exhibits a blind trust in media outlets. Press releases are not all inclusive. Damage control is very important. Selling newspapers and getting clicks on links is a method for generating capital.
Your perspective on this appears to be limited. Jumping to conclusions without including all of the facts (which we do not know) is akin to jumping out of a plane with a backpack full of silverware.
I grew up in a shithole of a run down mill city in the Northeast. I was surrounded by heroin, crack, ganbangers and hookers. Ive also lived in Texas, every state in New England and California.....I now live in Maine (the second most heavily wooded state in the US)......I was a "city person" for a long time, now most of the people I grew up with would consider me a "redneck." I too am retired military (Marine Corps)

To me the term "redneck" has nothing to do with race in any way, its more about social and political ignorance. BTW in a big white guy w/ a ZZ Top beard, most would probably consider me a "redneck" by my looks. If the term "redneck" is somehow a racist term i guess that Im just a self loathing type?

I dont understand how my post exhibits any blind trust in the media. The facts are out there from more than a few different sources. I have to wonder if you just dont like the facts and then therefore want to discount anything written about the incident because it doesnt tell the story you want it to tell. Please explain how reading multiple media reports that all tell the same story is jumping to conclusions.

no its not akin to that at all. if that "nigger" has a history of shooting people on his bus, than the bus driver has a moral obligation to keep him off the bus.

you see a guy in your neighborhood robbing people walking down the street. it happens all the time in a certain section of town. if you continue to walk past that section of town, that makes you 1 a victim of crime and 2 stupid.
True, but if 1 black person robbed me I wouldn't go around saying all black people will rob you.

I get it Jeff. I understand why people are weary of towel wearing Muslims on planes. But just because some Muslims decide to kill innocents, it doesn't mean they all will kill you. And like nodrama stated the terrorists who hijacked planes were not wearing towels on their heads. I suspect they were trying to be inconspicuous?

Ink the world, your post implies that a reporter(or group of reporters) were capable of uncovering all parties' motivations in the matter of what, a few short hours. From my experience, it takes considerably longer to ascertain a single party's motivators.

Redneck is historically a term for working men, normally caucasian. The term comes from the sunburn pattern found at the base of the skull, connecting through the upper back. This area get sun-baked while working in the sun, wearing a shirt (typically long sleeve), and some form of hat. I didn't have the misfortune of growing up around hookers, gangbangers, heroin, and crack. A few of the folks in the community grew a little weed and we consumed a lot of cheap beer around things we set on fire.
A lot of the folks I grew up with, played football with, still work their own fields. These are rednecks. They don't run around wearing pointy white hats and hating other folks because of race, well, most of them don't. It's Georgia so a few of the folks don't like anyone different than them.

Drawing definitive conclusions from a brief newspaper article is akin to looking at a few bricks outside a construction site and telling someone what the mirror will look like in the bathroom. You are free to make any description you want. Will it be the actual description? Probably not, but that will not matter as the conversation will long be forgotten.

Unlimited viz, time to fly out to the sound and find some new fishing water. You guys try to enjoy internet jousting!

Jeff f., why do you dislike folks with different skin color?
