Ghost of BiB Posted August 29, 2005 Posted August 29, 2005 eg, info that some pakistanis (say) are planning on crossing into Texas Pakistanis crossing into Texas would probably get my attention regardless. You bring up another point here, having adequate resources at the right place at the right time. The actuality is that what you describe does go on. There are often literally so many pieces and bits of information out there, and descriptions so vague that you are sometimes back to profiling everybody, and at several places at once.

No word on if Frodo, Aragorn, or Gandalf will be helping Chloe or Edgar this year, though.

Ye Gods, what a stupid !@#$ing show...

Ye Gods, what a stupid !@#$ing show... 422110[/snapback] Never watched it. I'm sure it's very entertaining, which is it's point. Didn't you know the aliens took over the world after Mulder left? TV mirrors reality, you know.

I'd think the implications as to snug speak for themselves. (If you can get away from them falling in love with you on a first date.)

TV mirrors reality, you know. 422118[/snapback] I find things like that far more entertaining when they're at least vaguely grounded in reality (or, for shows like Lost, firmly grounded in the reality they define). But I draw the line when a terrorist organization kidnaps the Secretary of Defense, co-opts the internet, uses the internet to melt down ALL the nuclear reactors in the country, hijacks a Stealth Fighter, shoots down Air Force One, steals a nuclear warhead, and launches it on a homemade cruise missile...all within 24 hours*. Stupidity is not entertaining. *24 regular hours, not VABills hours.

You're just having a little fun with the fans of the show right? Right?

Season 1 was actually very, very good (people actually acted progressively more tired and took time to eat meals, which was a nice touch). 2 and 3 were okay, but stretched credibility in places. Season 4 was so contrived and unrealistic it was horrible.
RuntheDamnBall Posted August 30, 2005 Posted August 30, 2005 Wait a minute...this makes sense. What is it doing here? 421977[/snapback] NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Ray Posted August 30, 2005 Posted August 30, 2005 I realize there are those who commit terrorism who are NOT Muslim. But the VAST MAJORITY are! It is a fact--look at it! What did all the 9/11 terrorists have in common? How about the London bombings? How about every suicide /homicide bombing in Iraq? How about the first World Trade Center bombing? How about the USS Cole bombing? How about every suicide bombing against the Israelis? So over 99% are fanatical Muslims! So why waste time on low yield suspects? You have a limited amount of resources to deal with the problem. Therefore you have to concentrate on the most likely targets, and they are young Muslim males 18-35. It is too bad--I agree. But that is the way it is, and that is a pure fact.
