Nope, I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you?

 

So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile certain people. They must conduct random searches of 80 year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret agents of the President's security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winning and former Governor Joe Foss, but leave Muslim males between the ages 17 and 40 alone because profiling is discriminatory and not nice.

 

Let's send this to as many people as we can so that the Gloria Allreds and other dunder-headed attorneys along with Federal Justices that want to thwart common sense, feel doubly ashamed of themselves - if they have any such sense.

 

 

As the writer of the award winning story "Forrest Gump" so aptly put it,

"Stupid is as stupid does"

Come on people wake up!!!

 

OK, you CAN make STATISTICS mean anything you want. BUT They also speak for themselves!!!

It is to be observed that 'angling' is the name given to fishing by people who can't fish.

If GOD had NOT meant us to go fishing, WHY did he give us arms then??


(If you can't help out someone in need then don't bother my old Dad always said! My grandma put it a LITTLE more, well different! It's like peeing yourself in a black pair of pants she said! It gives you a LOVELY warm feeling but no-one really notices!))

Personally, I'm all for targeting resourses at the people that you believe to be the bad guys. If someone is walking down the street with a pulled up hoodie a baseball cap and a pair of gloves on in August (well any other August that the current one), pull them because they're probably a thief. If some gaunt little smackhead is walking the streets with a big bag at 4 in te morning, pull him. If a group of young black males are mopeing arropund on a street corner in an area that's notorious for muggings and they're wearing gang colours, pull them. and the same goes for targeting muslim travellers.

 

Profileing isn't nasty racist policing, it's just the appropriate targeting of resourses.

 

The danger comes when the police start using profiling without thinking. They have to look at everybody. They still need to have random searches and they need to be open and honest in dealing with the people that they are searching

I agree entirely Ken, it's just common sense.

Let's agree to respect each others views, no matter how wrong yours may be.

 

 

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity

I too agree with you Ken.

 

However, the statistics used in the e-mail are so ridiculously bias, that they do indeed speak for themselves.

Angling is more than just catching fish, if it wasn't it would just be called 'catching'......... John

gozzer - where, exactly, did you spot any statistics in the original post?

Definitions of statistics on the Web:

a branch of applied mathematics concerned with the collection and interpretation of quantitative data and the use of probability theory to estimate population parameters

wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn

 

However, if you did see some and I just missed them, where, exactly, did you see bias?

 

Definitions of bias on the Web:

In statistics, a biased estimator is one that for some reason on average over- or underestimates what is being estimated. The word bias has at least two different senses in statistics, one referring to something considered very bad, the other referring to something that can at times produce results more useful and closer to the truth than an insistence on being "unbiased."

" My choices in life were either to be a piano player in a whore house or a politician. And to tell the truth, there's hardly any difference!" - Harry Truman, 33rd US President

I agreed with Ken because what he said was common sense. I did not much like the tone of the original post and as the thread is now descending into the normal garbage, I agree it is time it was closed :(

Newt, I was referring to the last line of the e-mail.

 

 

OK, you CAN make STATISTICS mean anything you want. BUT They also speak for themselves!!!
So I suggest you take it up with whoever wrote that line!

 

I could quote instances of acts of violence caused by any particular race or creed, to suit any circumstances that I wanted to highlight. If I did, then then the 'facts' that I used would be biased against the particular section of the community I used. Would it not?
