Racial Profiling for Terrorists: Good or Bad?

[Strike For The South]

If it were only that simple my friend. Even if we did everything we could do they wouldnt stop. They are jelaous of what the west has and wont stop until they destroy us. Not to mention we shouldnt be listening to them anyway. Our polices should be decided by us. Id rather fall for my idelas than stand for something Im not.

The Golden rule means to apply the same rules we would have on us to them.

It means if we applaud the life of someone who spends their life hunting Nazis we are likely to applaud someone hunting down terrorists.

It means that if we demand trials by jury they too will be tried.

It means that if we have capital punishment for terrorism that they too will be under that law.

For the moderates it means that we will treat them with the dignity that we would expect from our own group. It means we will let them practice their faith as we would expect ours to be allowed. It also means for myself that if I can make fun and caricatures of my holy cows, that I will make fun of others too... that is probably stretching the definition, but fun things have a bit of give and take, condoms for instance.

It means that that rules that we apply to ourselves will be applied to others. It does not mean one rule for us and another set for another be it none or more severe.

So if you think it is okay to go to an internment camp because of what the IRA did then it would be okay to send all Muslims to internment camps based on what Osama has done. It you think it would be unfair to be sent to an internment camp based on the actions of others, then the golden rule would mean that you should be against sending others to an internment camp based on group think.

Essentially the Golden Rule is a very useful tool in increasing our Monkey Sphere... it is a reason that it is a core tenent of the major religions, it leads to the ability to create much larger social groups. The lack of the Golden Rule in the likes of Phelps would probably limit a lot of these groups from developing beyond their leaders Monkey Sphere limited mindset.
