God damnit! I wrote this BIG reply and then when I hit sent, it said I wasn't logged in and all of my reply was gone.
shaolin_z, this is a great argument, and I'll be back. I just gotta sleep on the fact that I wasted 20 minutes for nothing. =( |
Take your time.

That is no excuse to spy on EVERYONE! |
I wasn’t advocating spying on everyone, just all of the Muslims and Islams since EVERY person who blows themselves up happens to be (get ready for this), exclusively and only in that category. It’s a reasonable excuse. If there are law abiding all-American people of Arab descent, then they should have NOTHING to worry about.
The government is looking for radiation. My god, how bad can it be if you are Muslim and you are being checked for radiation? Oh no. Discrimination. Let's make them feel better by checking everyone. You never know what those little Scandinavian girls are up to these days!
| quote: | If that subcategory was significantly large, then yes it could make some sense. I don't think below 0.1 % qualifies.  |
Good point. Let’s see if these people who bow themselves up belong to any other category:
Jews: 0%
Christians: 0%
Asians: 0%
Gays/Lesbians: 0%
I shall reiterate (sorry) that those who blow themselves up belong to only this category: Muslim/Islam. Should the U.S. waste time and polish their spying with some P.C. and spy on all of the almost 300,000,000 people living in the US? No, just those who are Muslim/Islam, which is the ONLY demographic these people fit.
| quote: | | I don't see what your ignorant broad generalization of the Middle East has to do with this. |
Ignorant broad generalization? What…that the Middle East hates the US, Jews, gays and women? You’re so right. How could I be so blind?
Only HALF of the Middle East hates women. The other half ARE the women who are slaved by the men.
Only ALL Middle Eastern countries except Israel (and Turkey if you count them) hates the Jews and imposes restrictions on their rights, communication and property ownerships.
Being gay is ILLEGAL in EVERY Middle Eastern country (except for Israel, Jordan and maybe Iraq). If you are caught being gay in Bahrain, Iran*, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia*, Syria, United Arab Emirates*, or Yemen*, you will be sent to jail, or killed*.
So no, my statement isn’t ignorant, but it sure does cater to a broad area full of barbaric people.
| quote: | | I'm against the Goverment spying on ANYONE without enough compelling evidence and a proper warrant, Muslims or not. |
This is where our opinions differ. I’m totally for it under certain circumstances.
| quote: | | And?!?!?!?!?! So if it's a minority it's acceptable? Nonsense! Using your "they were from this group" logic, that would be the rational conclusion. |
How can America spy on 50% of it’s population. It’s easier to narrow it down to a much smaller group that we ALL know terrorists come from.
| quote: | | No, it does apply. Just becuase the terrorists happen to be Arabs doesn't mean that all Arab and Muslims should be suspects. Innocent until proved guilty (in this case, conspiring to plan an attack). 9-11 wasn't religiously motivated ok. It was a tragic result of far worse/more injustices suffered because of US foreign policy, so stop giving me this mindless bullshit about how Islam is the cause. |
Ok, so whether or not it’s religiously motivated, these Arabs were “sleepers,” and acted like completely normal American people. So I think the US should spy on other people so maybe we can catch more sleepers. I’m all for spying. And I’m not giving you mindless bullshit about how Islam is the cause. I am saying (for the millionth time now), that everyone who has blown her or himself up belongs to the category of Muslim/Islam. I never said that the religion of Islam itself causes people to blow themselves up, so calm down.
