I love how progressives tote the 'tolerance' card. You guys are only tolerant of your side's ideals. Progress for progresses sake is not good, if it's not broken why fix it?

It can be neither proven nor disproven. We'll just have to wait and see.

No, those on the Left think no one is to blame or excuse those that are to blame. The Left doesn't believe in accountability or responsibility.

See I hate that phrase 'racial profiling'. It should be called 'statistical profiling'. The profiling is based on the areas. Yeah, in New York City, it's probably pretty likely to be a crime committed by a black person, but here in Idaho, it's a late teens/early 20's white-trash boy that commits the crime. It's like how cops attentions are attracted to red cars since they are more likely to speed. I wish I knew where it was, but I wrote a long paper on profiling and criminal statistics.
