Article on Political Correctness and profiling

A red headed irishman would be suspicious if taking a photo of a bar? I doubt it...



In all seriousness though this article is on point and I think we have almost reached a point of no return as far as: "You aren't allowed to offend anyone, anywhere, ever, no matter the cost, no matter how good you're intentions are". I would rather raise the alarm a million times and be labeled a racist than not point something funky out and have it be the time something really horrible happened.

Agree... a Red-headed Irishman taking a foto from outside of a pub with none of his Mates about is mighty peculiar t' say the least!


OneGuy, I Say this all of the time.
Just because everyone says you're paranoid doesn't mean that there's not someone out there trying to get ya!


I think we should start using the lib-tard arguments against them.

Thank you for sharing that article. I took that exact same position at work about a month or so back.

While all of my co-workers claim to be conservative and pro-security, etc. every one of them either made comments or at least gave me looks to the point of being a racist, paranoid, an isolationist, etc. All of us have served and we currently work in a defense dept. facility and the .mil is out customer.

Until someone is in THEIR face making THEM a victim they won'y see the need to scrutinize specific demographics that have proven to count amongst their numbers the highest degree of terrorists or criminals.

Right after 9/11 our government was TELLING us to report anything that seemed suspicious; to remain ever vigilant. Today, if we were to do just that, our government and populace alike would brand US as potential risks.

I'll continue to say that somewhere in t he last 10 years our nation has completely turned itself around backwards. What was once RIGHT is now WRONG and what was WRONG is now RIGHT. What was illegal is now LEGAL but what was LEGAL is now ILLEGAL. I don't know what happened, but I'm not comfortable with the world standing on it's head.
