Tulane Skins Fan Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 OK, so I go into the DMV today to pick up my new Redskins plate (it's pretty sweet), and I see these four arabs sitting with one another. Fair enough. Then I think, "What the hell would four arabs come to the DMV together for?" So through some stealthy investigating (read: looking over their shoulder ) I was able to discover that all four were getting commercial licenses. So my question is, am I just being my usual bigoted right-wing nut self, or do I have reason to be suspicious of four arabs getting commercial licenses? The answer is yes. I don't understand how you can even post this to a public message board. :doh: ---------- Post added January-25th-2011 at 12:00 PM ---------- Orange:Regarding the commercial licenses ... I'm pro-individual liberty in many ways and I'm not quick to judge, but in this day and age I guess I would find 4 Arab men getting commercial licenses together somewhat suspicious IF: --They were relatively young (18-35) --They seemed to know each other intimately like a peer group (similar clothing, gestures, inside jokes, etc.) I would find it wierd that 4 best friends were all applying for the same job on the same day. The odds of 4 best friends wanting the same line of work and all applying together would make this seem unlikely. If they were mixed ages and didn't seem like similar people or best friends, it's probably nothing. Just try to use good judgement. Remember that giving bad information to authorities can actually hinder more than help -- that's why profiling is usually left to trained professionals. Well, maybe four arab-american men went to truck driving school together and became friends there, and decided to go to the DMV together. I'm basically outraged by this thread. Ignorance does that to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RansomthePasserby Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 It's sad that the fine line between vigilance and paranoia got blurred so much in the aftermath of 9/11. In that sense we were all victims of the attacks. Who knows, maybe these guys were perfectly innocent. Maybe they got busted later on. As a side note, what's with all this old thread bumpage?

oisn1 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I saw four jews at the DMV awhile back. Mossad? Bar mitzvah? I also saw four black people too. Robbery? Gang Initiation? Or is this just a case of paranoid people seeing "suspicious brown" people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgold Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Really, that must have been after I dropped a dime and suddenly four Jewish guys appeared screaming, "Mine. Mine. Mine" ... and then strangely enough one man and three women came out of the sandwich shop. They were all wearing wedding bands. Mormons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
