If you think being a Jew in a gunstore is hard, try being a women.
A...women?
Yep, that would be pretty difficult....

First let me point out that if you are biased against Muslims, you are also anti Semitic. Jews dont hold the copyright on Semitism.
Whoa. Do some research. Muslims are of many ethnicities, not just Semitic peoples. Perhaps you are thinking of Arabs. Arabs are considered Semitic people. But, not all Arabs are Muslims, and, certainly, not all Muslims are Arabs. Indonesia has one of the largest non-Arabic Muslim populations. And, don't forget the Caucasian Muslims of Bosnia, Albania, Kosova, Bulgaria, Western Turkey, Russia, the Caucasus.
Okay?
Speaking of anti-semitism... Really, dude? Really? You don't have a problem with this statement? You don't think thats its pretty insulting to say that any one wearing a yarmulke in a gun store is either a rat or in the media? You don't think it insulting to say that while being so uninformed as to call a yarmulke a "jewish hat"?
And the only judgements you can accurately make about a person who is wearing a yarmulke is that they are Jewish, religious, and mostly likely Orthodox.happyshooter said:Yes. Judgments have to be made based on how people chose to dress
Really? Exactly how did you come to that conclusion? Did you actually talk to a bunch of guys who wear a yarmukle or is it that you know that someone wearing a yarmulke is Jewish and assume that Jewish=liberal?happyshooter said:Around these parts the folks who dress like that bat for the far left team.
Umm, it was only in the first post (and several others) in this thread.happyshooter said:I forgot what yarmulkes were called.
Yes. Ooops.Umm, it was only in the first post (and several others) in this thread.
The several times a year I see one, he is with the Democrat State Party, or the UAW national headquarters team. Both hate everything that is not far left.Really? Exactly how did you come to that conclusion?
As for clothing choices, that is the best way to judge people. Wearing a tie and tan pants with no tats? Likely the muffler store manager or a CPA, and a good middle class guy.
Wearing ghetto jeans sagging with the pockets at the knee level and a Bears jacket? Watch for shoplifting.
Morally, ethically, AND in a perfect world the above stand is absolutely, 100% the right stand.But, to judge people by how they dress based on the fact that criminals of this era tend to dress a certain way is wrong. It would be like us being judged by the fact that people use guns to commit crimes, which when it does happen enrages us all.
In short, wearing baggy jeans does not make someone a criminal anymore than going to church makes someone a Christian, being a white southerner makes someone a racist, or owning guns makes someone a criminal.
Ignore the fact that someone is dressed like a criminal and 9,999 times you may come out all right. It's that 10,000th time that will get you dead.
Of course how one treats another that dresses like a scumbag, criminal or other lowlife is up to each individual. Odds are you'll make it through life just fine treating them like law abiding citizens; odds are...
