You're really stretching. I'm not sure why you're all over my shit these days, but I've seen you pulling it on others lately.

Lots of people have noticed, but wouldn't say anything to you, out of fear I guess.

You've said nothing that even remotely discusses any of it, but you call me a hater for questioning this authority? How dare me, to question authority. I MUST be a hater, to not sit back and nod that those in charge have to be right, or they wouldn't be in charge, right?

Really stretching, hon. I won't cry and come back to apologize to you, like most. So, have fun with whatever you're trying to accomplish. I'm, frankly, bored with it already.

And, one last thing...some of you were bitching and moaning about the politics thread. You wanted the Cellar to be kinder and gentler: apparently those people were tired of political discussions. You said it was a hater's thread. You've told ME In the past to ignore threads I don't like. Yet you're worse, you don't say what your convictions are, but you will say nasty things to those who are talking about issues. I didn't think you cared. Maybe you don't care, you just like waiting around to piss people off.

Have fun with that. I don't get it, but have fun with it.

Yes, actually, I have. I'd like to know the details for real before I throw a fit though, if you don't mind.

Lot's of people have noticed what?

What fit? What is wrong with you?

Eh, man, this is unreal.

I'm a goddam hatin' bitch for discussing current events in the current event thread.

Un. Real. Yet, amusing, and thought-provoking!

Can you answer the question, or no?

I have to call foul on that.

No one fears jinx and it is a manipulative way to get attention off the topic.

I think she deserves an answer since you brought up something vague aimed to hurt her character.

We all undergo increased security in airports and for some reason it's tolerated. I don't like it, but it is a special heightened secure area. This new law applies to walking down the sidewalk, driving down the road. This is every day life. This isn't a couple times a year of standing in a line and being frisked in a place where you have the option to go.

Mine the borders with claymores. Come through normal gates, no problem. Come via any other means, not my problem.

Problem solved.

If true, that would make it a clear 4th amendment violation, right?

I think she said repeatedly that she wanted clarification on whether it is a PRIMARY (meaning.....that's the reason they stop you) offense to look like an immigrant.

It's fucking incredible in the classical meaning of the word. They are talking out of both sides of their mouths if they say they're going to do this and NOT profile. This is BY DEFINITION profiling.

Yeah but, the actual law says "for any lawful contact by law enforcement" which, as far as I know, is not having a cop walk up to anyone they want on the street and demand ID. That's what I wanted to know about before getting upset.

It's all about how the initial contact is made.
