Is this what you considered sticking up for my friend from Texas?

Message 17968232

Notice that I wasn't sticking up for anyone. I was trying to get you to take a moment to reflect on whether reviving a conflict that was essentially dead, was really something that you wanted to do. Your responses pretty much answer that question, in spite of your insistance that you consider us "boring".

I don't want to fight you, I don't want to insult your family members, I don't want to insult you, I want to move on. If you have a conflict with someone, bring it to your own thread. When you bring it to my thread, you immediately invite comment by me.

It's time to let this go. But if you don't want to let it go, at least have the courtesy to let me and my threads out of your conflicts.

I haven't watched all the news but did I get the gist of it right? Did these kids do all this as a set up to get a message to everyone not to be racist to Muslims?

After all, it was pretty stupid to talk loudly enough in a public place using terrorist insults, even more stupid to say wait till they see what happens on the 13th.
To top it all off, it was even more stupid to run through a toll booth knowing they would be stopped. IT was even more stupid to have some kind of scent in the car that was sure to get the dogs barking and they would of course be taken in for questioning.

I am not sure if I have my facts straight or not and I should not rush to judgment but....and this is a big but, if the above is true I think they should be charged with a felony for in sighting a terrorist act. Probably would never be proven but it dawned on me the terrorist had just found another way to get at us. By using our own system against us.
Oh well, I hate politics with a passion but I had to speak my mind here.
