You can't judge whether someone is a terrorist or not based on the clothes that they wear. That's one of the most idiotic assertions I've ever seen you make.
Who made this argument?
Besides, do you really think that all terrorists dress like a stereotypical terrorist? Are clothing choices really the best we have to go on as far as classifying terrorists? If so, that's sad.
Who made this argument?
I've read this story and saw the comments that these people made which led them to getting kicked off of the plane. I saw nothing that would lead a rational thinking person to believe that there was an actual threat. The bottom line is that people have become idiotic in their paranoia.
Of course you call it paranoia; but then, Muslims are the ones who carry out hijackings and when someone who LOOKS Arabic starts mouthing off about airport security or aircraft security, it is going to make some people very nervous and they will rightly report their concerns to the authorities.
How hard is it for anyone who looks Arabic or Muslim, which includes Israeli’s, Turks etc., to comprehend that these are difficult times and mouthing off out loud about security is a BAD idea when flying?
It has nothing to do with being PC, it has to do with being smart enough to not judge people on shallow criteria like clothing or religion.
Your comments and argument have EVERYTHING to do with PC. Your efforts to make arguments and put words in others mouths is a transparent attempt to defend the idiotic PC notion that people who LOOK Arabic or Muslim and chatting out loud about airport security and aircraft security should be ignored because it might hurt their feelings if they get profiled and yanked off the aircraft.
If a Christian had made those same comments there wouldn't have been an issue at all.
This is another one of those; "because you say so" hypothetical argument made in a vacuum of any facts or reality.
I assure you that if the passenger in front or beside me starts talking about blowing up planes, I will have a serious concern; albeit, less so as we haven't had white Christians running into wedding processions, airports, mosques, busses or trains with bombs strapped to their backs.....EVER.
When people get paranoid they get stupid. The fact that you would defend such people speaks volumes about you and your character.
The fact that you defend the PC notion that it is just paranoia in a vacuum of the facts says a lot about your character, or lack thereof. The notion that you desperately attempt to put words in my mouth that have not been spoken to make such an idiotic personal attack also speaks volumes about YOUR character, or lack thereof.
The fact that you can't even stay on the thread topic speaks volumes to your lack of reading comprehension.
Here was my argument so that you are not confused; if you LOOK Arabic or Muslim, it is a good idea to NOT talk out loud about your opinions about airport security or aircraft security.
I am a White Male and the LAST thing I am going to do is JOKE about security while flying; it is just DUMB and I don't have time to be dragged to a private room to be interviewed by the FBI; and I assure you, there have been many stupid WHITE people dragged there as a result of their idiotic attempts at humor while going through security.
It is not a laughing matter, it is not something to joke about and only stupid people will do it while traveling; and it is even dumber if you happen to have the same ethnic background or appearance that is part of the world where terrorists are bred and come from. This is REALITY and hardly paranoid or stupid or indicative of any character trait.
Carry on; stick a fork in this one, it is well done.
