Thanks for sharing this form.

"got link?"

I believe that wardaddy is referring to this thread, where there is a debate raging as to whether racial profiling will be a help, the miracle cure some apparently believe it to be, or a total failure.

Some of us believe it to occupy that broad area of description between utter failure and a cure all which by default means I support it anyhow. I hate political correctness in all it's forms...big suprise right?

Your right!But ask yourself,WHY WOULD SOMEBODY NOT WANT YOU TO PROFILE?I think those who are trying to stop profiling are in fact terrorist sympathizers.

It's always good to see you here, Jeff. I just wish we could convince the state of Oregon's legislature to do away with their rule over all our law enforcement that people cannot even be asked their immigration status, much less detained. Welcome to terrorist haven......do you think they have any idea how many of us are armed??:<)

Not profiling makes about as much sense as trying to buy a new Ford pickup at your local GMC dealer.
Let me get this straight, we're supposed to look for the people that don't look like the people we're looking for?

Excuse me , I got to go take my medication. My head hurts.

Me, too, red-neck. It's kind of like this: You get bit by a dog. BAD dog. On the lose! You call the animal control. They ask you to describe the dog. BIG dog. BUT, don't tell them what color or the breed the stupid thing is! Yea, they'll find it! In your dreams!

I agree, profile everyone. Not profiling equals stupidity. As I believe Bill Maher said, "we're not looking for Swedish tourists"
