I'll bring it up.... Options

So, how about the bombings in London today?

I'll tell you how I felt. I was filled with rage when I heard about them. I think 9/11 scared me because it was here on U.S. soil, but this pisses me off, maybe just because it's too far away for me to be immediately scared. I do not understand how people can do things like that. Last I heard the death toll was over 40, but that was this morning. 40 civilians.... I know it's nothing compared to 9-11, but still. The cowardice that it must take to kill innocent people to support a cause....

And what makes it worse is in my mind, I can see someone about 4 years from now telling everyone that it was the British government that planted all the bombs.... Sickening.

Sorry if I offended anyone.

Your last post proves one thing.  You are the type of person that is contributing in the ruination of this country.  For any point that I made that you couldn't reply to, you ask if that's a fact or assertion.  Then you continue on to call me racist.  Hmmm.. let's see.. if 95% of the terrorist attacks in the world are carried out by Muslim men, it would make perfect sense to you to start investigating Japanese men for possible terrorism links.

I bet your the guy who thinks that racial profiling in this instance is wrong too.  I'm sure to you it makes perfect sense for airport security to strip seach a 90 year old lady in a wheel chair right?  We know what the enemy looks like, so why do pretend that we don't?  Because it's not politically correct?  PLEASE.  This isn't the time to be politically correct.

Wake up and smell the roses.

Interesting. I just popped into this post this morning.. and I think you are right RD... I am also a fine example of our "step up" on security in our airports.

I had a plane ticket ordered for me via the internet ... Ordered on a sunday . ticket issued for that tuesday.. My ticket was tagged as a threat to secuirty.. on the bottom right it had red lettering .........I was picked out of the thousands of people at O'Hare Airport as a threat and was pulled out and made to feel like dirt, and an embarassment for all to see.....I was searched.. taken thru the security several times.. and not one part of my person was not searched... my belongings... everything....



Now I am all for stricter security measures... but come on a 30 something mother of 3 going from the BIG CITY to the hills of Pennsylvania.

We are targeting the wrong people.. we are trying to be soo "politicial correct" and sooo country friendly that we left the terrorists from 9/11 come to Florida and train to fly our own airplanes..... live in our country ....... and then use that hospitality to attack us...

You know my son had to write a report about our country and what has been going on .. and interestingly enough he has been paying attention....

He said.. The example our country is showing that .. take two homes with children and parents.. and in that one home the children are getting ignored.. because their parents are paying too much attention to the neighbors kids.. and the ignored children are getting hurt from lack of time and consideration....

Just my thoughts.................
