Now they want cash

You know that stupid law suit kick I'm on, well here is another one that involves the 6 Imams.
United Press International - NewsTrack - Ousted imams want airline settlement
Looks as though they now want a quick buck. I hope that the airline has the balls to say no.

Problem was it wasn't for just how they looked. It was also for what they were doing. And crap, they can't even get their story together.

If they weren't hancuffed on the plane, why would they be hancuffed off the plane? Airport security over-reacted.

People are so paranoid they look for reasons to suspect everyone.Racial profiling is bullshit.IMO.

I don't think they over reacted at all. They did so that they would get attention, well, they got it now. I have no problem with racial profiling and wish they'd do more of it.

The one 9/11 attacker that didn't make it on the plane was kept off for just these same reasons, the mother fucker was acting funny. Also, did you know that there is a regulation that says airport screener cannot have more than one person who fits the profile of the 9/11 highjackers at one time because it would be racial/religious descrimination? Well that's how some of the others were able to get on. Fuck this shit. They were acting too weird and too suspicious. If I'm on a plane and some mother fuckers start acting like that and were praising Saddam and praying and denouncing the Us either they are getting off the plane, or I am. preferably them. I refuse to take the slightest risk of getting killed just becuase some smart ass mother fucker might get his feelings hurt. From the eye witness reports, these fuck sticks were either "testing the waters" to see what could be got away with, or they were fishing for a law suit. Fuck them in their stupid asses. I hope the airlines turns around and sues them. Its not like the airlines have any money anyways. They get their money from the government to stay afloat.

When someone f**ks with you, you hit them in the pocketbook.
If I looked and acted like a some ass holes that like to fly planes into buildings I would try to have enough common sense and understanding that I will be seen as a risk.

Beyond looks, they met behavoral criteria that are looked for. 1-way tickets. Getting out of their seats and positioning themselves at the exits. As well as asking for the seat belt extenders, which are for fat asses when all but one was under 200 pounds. Screw em.

And when they mess with us, I wish that we could hit them in the notebook. Too bad that when they mess with us they are as dead as we are.

Profiling makes perfect sense. "Racial profiling" somehow gets applied to any form of profiling, I don't know how. Almost every single terrorist attack (with the exception of pranks and McVeigh) was carried out by a Muslim of Arabic descent, who acted a little bit odd. And they make up less than 1% of America.

So, when a specific group of people make up less than 1% of America and make up the VAST majority of terrorist attacks it's common sense to keep a more watchful eye on them, is it not? To place the protection of a few from inconveniences over the protection of the lives of many is not reasonable.

The racial profiling I was referring to wasn't just concerning air travel.

A watchful eye and treating people like second class citizens are two different things.

We shouldn't do racial profiling ? Would what should be done even BE racial profiling ?

That many Muslims are middle eastern is true. That most TERRORISTS are Muslims is ALSO true.

Lets get real. Who the hell is blowing people up or killiing others everytime we turn around ?

It's fuckin' Muslims you simpletons. Not Grandma, not a little league team, FUCKIN' MUSLIMS.

Far as I'm concerned you can keep every fuckin' Muslim OFF airplanes. I sure as hell won't fly on an airplane with some middle eastern muslim looking peice of shit. Unless they'll let me carry my .357 ON WITH ME.

We better NOT treat Muslims like second class citizens. You better kiss their fuckin' asses and hand 'em all your MONEY. They might KILL you if you don't.
