I'm well thank you. How are you?
You must not know Tex too well then. Rumor has it that he is in deep with the Governmnet! If you don't believe me... Just ask a few of these tinfoilers around here who think the Governement gives a rats @ss about what they're doing or saying on this forum :-)
Good for them.
I can believe Tex is in deep something but I doubt it's the government.
True. Abolish the income tax. Put in a national sales tax. And keep pulling those Middle Eastern guys off the planes if they act strange or just different. ;-)
Sorry but you don't know Americans very well. What you see is not fear it is an acknowledgement that we are going to do our own profiling. Like it or not, from this point on any young man of Middle Eastern heritage is a terrorist in waiting and has a 1000 eyes on him. If that makes you or them uncomfortable then blame the source, Muslim terrorists not us. If you mistake that vigilance for fear you do it at your own peril.

Do I smell sulfur?
Is he lighting a match or is Satan just glad to see him?
We war busy greezin' them thar bullets with pig fat. Then ware gonna use it on them boots.
Me, I'm still shopping for my jackboots. Anyone know where I can buy the ones with extra sharp spikes?
What you call heightened vigilance I call deep seated prejudice. As for my alleged peril, I'm no more worried about being zapped by a terrorist than I am being hit by a meteorite.
Maybe Tex has an extra pair you can borrow.
How many close family members and friends have you reported to TIPS this week? You can't get the pointy ones until your quota is reached.
We can wear them to the next FReep-In.
Well earned and deserved
As for my alleged peril, I'm no more worried about being zapped by a terrorist than I am being hit by a meteorite.
I think you missed my point.
If he doesn't I will. Count on it.
Sorry but my extra pair would be a bit loose on you. lol
