popsjumper 2 #76 December 8, 2010 Quote Quote I find the level of hypocrisy in man never ceases to amaze me. The same people who were raging about respecting tradition more than anything else a week ago in a certain thread, are the same people here trying to say that traditions and cultures aren't that important after all. So it's okay to disrespect certain cultures, just as long as no one disrespects yours? Or maybe you just like to draw your own line on when it is okay to disrespect someone's culture. Who decides? Apparently you think YOU do. Geez...I forgot what the thread is about. I'm having such fun reading your closed-minded inanities! Thanks! Well, on the one hand, the guy that got the happy ending pat-down and got arrested for, er...being happy, would agree with you. I'm sure. EVERYBODY should get the same treatment! Just be sure to bring bail money to the airport. Everyone: So....rushmc may have a valid point even if it is very hard-line. -set the rules -everybody goes through the same treatment -if you don't like it, take the last train to Clarksville. Hard to argue against that, eh? -Well, not if you might think flying is a "right" of some sort, I guess. -Well, not if you might want to accommodate people so they CAN fly. What I envision is this: Picture a long-ass TSA hallway running off into the distance...past the point of convergence. There is a line of doors in the wall all the way down the hallway. Each door has an individually-designated sign: -Christian -Muslim -Jewish -Buddhist ....ad infinitumMy reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

You used to be thoughtful and considerate but we haven't seen that side for quite a while now. So, for your edumacation, even though you are being obtuse and condescending, here ya' go: Treating everyone the same is not being close-minded. Unwilling to consider other viewpoints is.

QuoteSo, for your edumacation, even though you are being obtuse and condescending, here ya' go: Treating everyone the same is not being close-minded. Both groups have privacy issues with the scanners and patdowns. Rush is advocating treating everyone the same. QuoteUnwilling to consider other viewpoints is. So is treating people differently when both have privacy issues with the security theatre. QuoteSimple as that, eh? Sure looks that way to me - everyone gets treated the same, nobody has a cause to complain in either direction. QuoteWhen are you going to let the old Mikey out of the basement?
