Sure.
[QUOTE=mbutler2;28121674]Oh no, I know what's right and wrong.[/QUOTE]So you're Jesus?
Because you just fucking said we can't know what's right or wrong.
[QUOTE=mbutler2;28121674]Oh no, I know what's right and wrong.[/QUOTE]
No you don't. Having someone tell you something isn't knowing something.
I guess you believe in the death penalty?
[QUOTE=CabooseRvB;28121660]Yeah, what constitutes me being a terrorist? The government can do whatever it can to protect the public and would increase the margin in where you could possibly/probably/will/are a terrorist. You're still wrongfully throwing a shitton of people in jail.[/QUOTE]
Hmm, what constitutes you being a terrorist, maybe speaking Arabic, your house is decorative in Arabic style, long distance calls to the Middle-East often. Things like that.

By your logic, we should also imprison any black person we see since the most crime committed in the United States is perpetrated by blacks or minorities.

This assumes two things:
1. All people who speak Arabic are terrorists
2. There are no terrorists other than Arabs.
These are both wrong, and why would you think these things?
Yay, I got ignored, now I get to just post to amuse myself more than him.

How else do you suspect someone of terrorism? You racially profile everyday.

No what gets assumed is "this person is highly active with the middle east, he [b]might[/b] have be contributing to terrorism, if nothing is found that supports that claim then nothing was lost except the searchers time.

probably when they do terrorist things
like i knew a group of punks who wanted to blow up the british parliament a long time ago
i think one of them works at mcdonalds now
so yeah that's probably the first step to figuring out a terrorist

Yeah, and stereotypes are all based on some small truth, but that doesn't make it so that those are true or undebatable or even apply to all people. Small truths are not whole truths and a stereotype/profile a terrorist does not make.

No, if someone hit my car with a golf-club shaped item, and some guy, regardless of color, is running away I [b]suspect[/b] it is him. Then I found out he is holding a driver and the mark on my car is a butter then I let him go. It has nothing to do with race.

Still doesn't seem right to wire tap them or spy on them or whatever at random, simply because they're Arab. They might have family back in the middle east or something if they're calling there, and the family would most likely only speak Arabic. Infringing on [B]a specific ethnicity's[/B] rights because most terrorists are Arab isn't right. Your welcome to have your opinion, but I'd still like to hear your rebuttal.

That sounds like a problem for you. What impact will it have that they know? There will be no impact. It won't change anything. It's just you being insecure.

Exactly, they figure out he is talking to his family and that's it. story over. he isn't a terrorist. The only time wasted is the searcher's
This is why we have things called fucking warrants. So we don't have the cops banging on our doors, barging in, and taking all of our personal secrets. The Brits (Using an example, no offense) would be able to suspect smuggling, and just go into a place and do whatever.
Pardon me, but I don't like the thought of cops being in my house without a warrant. Sure I have nothing to hide, but it's my own damn business.

They aren't bringing it down. If city police is looking for a gang that is explicitly all blacks, than I'm sure the police aren't going to question a white guy, it's not putting a race down, it's getting rid of dangers.

Exactly that why I said you need suspicion (i.e. speaking arabic, long distance calls to middle east, etc.) for someone to "spy" on you.

This is why we have due process, and an actual investigation method. Your way is just looking at a black guy, and that makes him a suspect due to his race if it's a black gang.
Now, while you're looking for someone black, that still makes it racist.

So if they went around asking black people every where? You do know that police make mistakes, and I guarantee that black people, innocent black people, would die or be arrested based on racism. that's not ok.

Your government should repress more rights against the blacks and Arabics. Your country will be safer if you do so.

You're all about protecting the public from danger. You're still not going to deter anything by repressing rights and establishing a police state.

Are you an idiot? They do that now! They look at people, get suspects, investigate them, AND DO ALL THAT.
