Holy poo poo, how stupid do you have to be to see someone doing math and have your first thought be "Oh no, written terrorism!" I mean, of course the profiling aspect of the whole thing is terrible but the mind boggling stupidity on display by this woman is what I really find troubling here.

It's not just the woman who was stupid: how does a cabin attendant, who presumably has some intelligence and a some training in aircraft safety, hear the accusation of terrorism, sees that it is just maths and still calls the air marshals?

"I just shot my brother on accident," a man is heard yelling on a 911 call released by police in St. Cloud, Florida.
"We were in a fight and I grabbed a gun and I shot him. Oh God," Middendorf said, still screaming. "I'm so sorry."

Yeah just grabbed a gun during an argument, aimed it at him and shot him. Totally accident, could have happened to anyone.

7-year-old girl tricks school with fake excuse note

quote:

Rosabella Dahu, 7, was expected at the program, but she gave staff at her Houston-area school a note that read, “I want Rosabella to go too dus 131 today!”

According to ABC News, the note worked, and Rosabella ended up riding the bus home, which sent her father, Charlie Dahu, into a panic.

So I say "All the numbers we use are Arabic", you say "this is incorrect and probably racist", and then you claim that an article titled "Arabic numerals" which clearly shows a picture of the glyphs we use to denote numbers, captioned "Arabic numerals" somehow proves your point?

I mean, at a stretch you could be claiming that it's incorrect because the glyphs originated in India, or because they aren't always used exclusively in modern Arabic speaking countries. But I never said that either of those things were not the case. I was making a dumb joke about the fact that the glyphs we use for numbers are referred to in English as Arabic numerals and thus should be the scary for the sort of people who think that writing anything in Arabic (the language) automatically makes you a terrorist.

So yeah, your point isn't abundantly clear, with or without that wikipedia article. Would you like to try and make it now?
I would say, "make it again", but you failed the first time, so :shrug:
