Yes, precisely.

ME profiling is an example of racial profiling.

Racial profiling is an example of profiling in general.

There is a trade off between social dignity and crime prevention when profiling is employed.

The debate is where the best point lies along the trade-off scale.

I challenge any of my adversaries on this thread to give an honest answer to the simple and not unrealistic hypothetical scenario outlined above.
FFS Looper, I just can't be bothered with yet more rote, cookie-cutter, right-wing bigot, knee-jerk reactionary, logic gymnastics and nonsense poorly disguised and presented as meritorious debate.

Honestly, up until recently, I thought you were just trolling or playing devils advocate with all this sort of nonsense, particularly in the same sex marriage thread, and doing a spectacular job of the former and a complete piss-poor one of the latter.

Seems that I was wrong and you're actually a genuine mung bean. So now I'm going to have to revise my previous opinion of you as being a worthwhile and decent poster.

I fully expect you to not give an actual flying-fuck about that but human nature being what it is nobody likes being wrong so I'm going to blame you for that and mostly just red you at every conceivable opportunity for being such a disappointing douche.
