[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4856104, member: 63706"] Reductio ad absurdum That the best you got? Your positions for your views are absurd, why not your arguments against mine? Do you think a lot of people coughing up blood try to take cruises? Why stop with that absolutely absurd position? I'll do you one better. Should a cruise line allow a man with a device strapped to his chest and a trigger in his hand, telling everyone he has a bomb, to board their ship? Since I said it, that means it's a real concern, right? By your logic, anyway. Since it's a real concern that bombers might want to board a cruise ship, but not show signs of being bombers, they should assume everyone is strapped with explosives, with no reason to suspect so, until they prove otherwise? Then the government should create a non-bomber passport, and force everyone to undergo an evaluation to certify that they are not a threat to other people's right to not be bombed. Here's a tidbit for [USER=56035]@rickyb[/USER]. The no-fly list is unconstitutional, everyone who challenges it in court gets their name off the list. At least in the US, Nazi Canada is another story. They still keep an unconstitutional list, though. It's too good a way to mess with political adversaries. [/QUOTE]
