From: Zuzu Fassbinder You said there were a lot of fourm posters who think "it is a good idea to blow shit up". I agreed with you, but then Lorelei pointed out that doing a word search showed there wasn't much support for that contention. then I was wrong. I just wasn't sure what I was being wrong about.

From: Billybob Goodliffe then I was wrong. I just wasn't sure what I was being wrong about. Presuming you're a man, then yes, it's a safe bet to assume that you were wrong.

It may not be a good idea, but terrorism IS effective. It's why we use it in our military planning (WTF do you think "shock and awe" is?).

Jeeze, what is the big deal that I point out ALL the would-be terrorist are black? It is statistically significant since profiles for terrorist have yet to include a single black american. It's just like stating that serial killer profiles start with white men, not minority or black men. And seeing that I am married to a black man who doesn't see the 'racism' in my post I could careless what you think. You are trying to turn a fact into a racism issue.
I was and still am very stunned that these "homegrown terrorist" are black.

There are no racist facts.
You can use facts for racist purposes. You can selectively present facts to make a racist point. But the facts are what they are.
In this case, mentioning the fact may or may not have been racist. But the comments used in presenting the fact clearly were.

If they were all white, would it have been reported as them being all white? Of course it's racist.

Of course it's racist. Serious question, Kendra. Are you mentally challenged?

Actually, nowadays, yes.

But even that would suck, because who would want to listen to a whining wussy toaster? Is he gold plated? If that's the case he should just be melted down into gold ingots. Help the economy some, and stop being so damn useless you stupid bucket of bolts! R2 is 1,000 times more useful than your tin man ass, and he's shaped like a salt and pepper shaker FFS!

I bet they were all heterosexual as well. Before you get outraged at that statement, I can say that because I once sucked off a straight guy.

The FBI stopped 7 poorly trained and organized idiots from blowing themselves up while trying to blow up stuff and the Sears Tower. For once, the FBI was right on time and stopped something early. Good work, FBI.
