You can bring up all the old thread topics you want. I've always seen Timothy McVeigh as a terrorist. No one taught me shit, except my history teacher at the time. And if you really care to know, my best friend is Pakistani, and I went to school in Little Middle East, aka Dearborn. Look it up, learn something.
I agree with you here, and I have to laugh at your quote about "nuts strapped with explosives", cuz literally they were strapped to his nuts.
Ha. Well for one I can't get into an elevator with a small child. I can't get into an elevator with anyone considering the fact that I'm terrified of elevators and small spaces. I have to psych myself out before getting on a plane so yeah I'm leery of everyone. No, not every terrorist looks creepy, and not every creepy person is a terrorist. But I'm still leery of them. Visit Taylor, Michigan and find out why (lol Dee and Pika would probably understand that).
I find humor in a lot of things. My favorite thing to do is laugh, and make people laugh. And I actually put everyone in my life before myself. (and I find it funny for someone on a message board to call me out about that lol like you know me?) But I find nothing about terrorism to laugh about. I have friends in the military who have fought or may fight in this war. I have a high school friend who was out of the military but decided to work for a private security company in Iraq and was murdered a few months ago. (think I'm making it up? Google Justin Pope of Riverview, Michigan). And lastly, my cousin was in the World Trade Center on 9-11 and lost his whole work crew, and my uncle lost many friends (the firefighters from Brooklyn). So NO. I have quite a soul and I think it's ridiculous for you to accuse me of not having one since I don't find humor in this situation. I do have compassion for the man who just had to take a shit, but I don't blame everyone for being scared seeing as the other incident was just the day before and someone was incessant on being in the bathroom.
It's sad that I have to put my proof in parenthesis to someone on a message board to prove that I'm not just making shit up and to stop being accused. I hope that one day our government finds a way to keep us safe so we don't have to worry about things like this. And if it means dealing with a stupid rule because they think it'll work? Fine. Pat me down, scan me, I don't care. Just keep us safe.

What have I said, IN THIS THREAD, to make me look racist? And like a drama queen? I think if anything, homegirl needs to get off my back.

Yeah...you like to pretend you weren't being aggressive with what you said, but basically you accused me of taking terrorism lightly and not valuing human life. You got it back because YOU don't know me and presumed that your experience exceeds my own with regard to these topics. How do you know what I have or have not experienced? I know more about you and your opinions because unlike me, YOU have expressed your BIGOTRY and irrational thought processes on other threads. If you don't want someone to throw it back in your face, be a little more polite about expressing your opposition. Saying "What are you talking about?" would suffice. Adding, "you obviously don't take terrorism seriously" is inflammatory, so don't be surprised when you get an inflammatory response! By the way, living in Detroit doesn't give you a corner on the market of life experience.
