Muslim Visitors to US Treated Like Criminals

[Felch]

Okay, we're in a so-called War on Terrorism, whidch essentially translates to "War on Dark People CLXIV." Basically people more or less realize that Terrorism isn't some shadowy thing with an organization that we can send James Bond and his Yankee equivalent to empty a can of whup ass on while screwing really hot chick. Terrorism is a method of waging war. The people who are using terrorism as a method of waging war are the Middle Easterners and South Asians. These are the people - like it or not, Imran, it's the truth - who we are fighting. It makes no sense to stretch out security to include people who are not likely threats. The people who should be checked are the ones who are most likely to cause us harm - that way we can hopefully do a decent job of interdicting the attacks.

Ned the Misinformed, part deux

I direct your attention to this quote from the first article:

While none of the September 11 hijackers entered via Canada

I don't know whether I find it funnier that O'Reilly show is engaged in fraudulent reporting or that you trust them as a source.

Oh, and here is a list of all Sept. 11 hijackers and the means by which they entered the US. I defy you to find the word "Canada" or the name of a place in Canada on this page.

I'll stop my ad hominem attacks when you pull your head out of your ass.

Maybe O'Reilly was refering to the other terrorists that have tried to enter the US from Canada?

[KrazyHorse]

I know of one, and he was caught at the border.

i.e. "the system worked as it's supposed to"

Only because he was stupid (Thank God!).

[KrazyHorse]

Oh, and Ned: here's the best proof of all:

When they caught that guy who was planning to blow up a building in LA at the Canada-US border, the newspapers here ran it as a front page story for a week, and there are still innumerable references to the incident every time there's a story about terrorism at home. There's never been a single mention of a Sept. 11 hijacker having Canadian ties. The best they could come up with was that a few money trails came through Canada, as was the case for every other Western country.

Mr. O'Reilly's not very impressive as a journalist, and his audience isn't very impressive in collective brainpower. I'm still astounded that he would say something this completely, factually, wrong, so I suspect that you're mistaken in your reporting of his words

[Boris Godunov]

Maybe O'Reilly is a buffoon pushing a right-wing agenda under the guise of his "No-Spin Zone?"

Hell, even Limbaugh doesn't have to pay radio stations to carry his show...

[KrazyHorse]

"Maybe"?

With an American passport it's not too difficult, Imran.

[KrazyHorse]

I think we should stop recognizing dual citizenship with the US...

[Asher]

If it's worth anything to you all of my stamps from my travels are in the Canadian passport.

The American one is only for emergencies. I value my life when overseas thank you.

[KrazyHorse]

Do you sew a little maple leaf on your backpack or an oil-well logo?

[KrazyHorse]

According to my brother all the Americans get pissed when they see Canucks with those maple leaf logos because they're tired of seeing them get better treatment.

[Asher]

Neither.

My jacket (BoardDokter) has a reflective translucent maple leaf on the left arm though, which is pretty cool.

But we didn't "punish" ALL brits, did we?

They have enough problems being labeled the gay men of europe as it is.



Besides, turkey is now violating our air space with "platoons" of 38 armed F-16s in once. and we had some gay englishmen who know nothing about all this and about defence telling us we are being "harsh" to their geeks? while our pilots are up there risking their lives for us?

F*ck them man. The whole thing is hilarious if it wasn't so pathetic.


brits... From Lord Byron to... "planespotters". what a degradation.
