USMC Sniper 0 Posted October 22, 2002 Well actually, Canada is (as the UN says) the country with the highest living standard. As for the reference that "arab looking men are terrorists", that is just utter bullshit. How the hell can you consider anyone to be a terrorist based on theyre race??? Thats like saying Italians are all mafia Russians are commies! Pleases refrain from making racist comments in the future, it really pisses everyone off. Surely becuase they are well built means that they are terrorists, lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

swae 0 Posted October 22, 2002 hmm, i have an idea lets just kill all the religous people in the world so this crap can stop.... oh,man... whats kinda scary is that this idea could actually work to bring peace to the earth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Albert Schweitzer 10 Posted October 22, 2002 Indonesia isnt an all poor country. Jakarta for example is indeed an economical metropole. i got many friends from indonesia. BTW (without sounding agressive in any way) what do you think a muslim might feel entering a plane? "oh shit, not again, they all think I am a goddamn terorist, and the women next to me wants to change seats and will probably ask a strong man to sit here, and this dude will watch me all flight long..and when I gotta go to the toilet, the stewardess will stay next to the door and listen..."

"Kill all religious people" and "peace" don't really mix . And as much as I get annoyed by the people trying to hand me religious pamphlets downtown, I don't buy the "religion is the cause of all war" BS. Religion has been the cause of many wars, and has played a big role in others, but I think mostly religion is just used as a propaganda tool for a war that's going down anyways. </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">Man, get real... just by describing what Arab people look like, doesn't mean I'm a racist. <span id='postcolor'> Nope, but calling someone a potential terrorist just because he looks like that is.

Major Fubar 0 Posted October 23, 2002 Hmm, religion is one of the biggest causes of war throughout history, but I'd have to say it's second to wars caused over ownership of land/resources. Does anyone think the Gulf War was about anything but oil? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â <span id='postcolor'> Man that reminds me of summer this year. There was this Arab family in line at the Airport and everyone was standing very far away from them, and then eye balling them on the plane. They must have really felt awkward. Back on topic, this is good news to hear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Necromancer- 0 Posted October 23, 2002 That is "racism". That's just a family having holiday, I doubt those would be potential terrorists. But, ya know.... seeing Pakistani, Arabs suddenly in Jakarta... its just far too suspicious to call a co-incidence imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Major Fubar 0 Posted October 24, 2002 We are too politically correct these days...deep in their gut, any normal human being would feel somewhat wary of Islamic looking people boarding their planes...you can pound the racism/PC bandwagon all you like, but deep down even the most "un-racist" person is going to feel a twinge of apprehension. To say otherwise is ridiculous. Right or wrong, that is how human beings react. We're not a planet of Ghandi's and Mother Theresa's you know - we're ordinary people, with hang-ups and irrational phobias. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
