"then the hospital that they were learning at told them to train else where...."

Minor correction...the hospital they were planning to train at.

"i would find that lady who told the police that she thought they were saying that stuff and just ****ing curve her ass."

Fortunately, most people think she did the correct thing.

What if she hadn't and they managed to kill a couple of thousand people? Would you trade 2,000 lives to be perfectly politically correct? I damn sure wouldn't.

"one of my good friends is from Yemen, right after 9/11 he got fired from his security job, and was told to leave his school a month later."

Why EXACTLY was he forced to leave the school?

"this **** is giving them a reason to become terrorist, cause we're ruining they're future by banning them from schools and jobs. "

We're not banning them from getting an education.

And, fact of the matter is that there are medical schools in Pakistan etc. If we allowed no more Pakistani medical students into the US, they could still go to medical school. In fact, I'd challange you to find a hospital in your area that doesn't have at least one doctor that graduated from one of those schools, so don't hand me the "quality of education" line.

"When I hear in the news about people harrasing Muslims it makes me sick, thats not what America is suspose to be about."

And this incident wasn't about harassing Muslims. It was about 3 college kids that pulled a stupid prank at a really bad time. They stepped on their own dicks, nobody did it for them.

I read in the paper today that the medical school isn't letting them in. (or is that old news)
*scrounge* ah, wouldn't you know it... the one day I don't bring the paper back with me....

[oops, I see where someone just said that. Never mind.]

The Collier County Sheriff's Office has voided the ticket given to the driver of one of the cars stopped on Alligator Alley last week during a terrorism scare, saying the tollkeeper Wednesday recalled taking the $1.50 from the man.

"She was very nervous at the time," said Collier Sheriff Don Hunter.

He said the tollbooth attendant, who had earlier given a sworn statement that the driver hadn't paid, had spotted the tag on the front of the car which had been given as part of a description to all tollkeepers in the state as a car that needed to be stopped by authorities.
Although its a rather minor, insignificant detail, it does bare merit, as they did NOT run the toll booth as initially reported.

I'm sure you'll also agree that running the toll booth had no real bearing on the case.........especially since the other car didn't.

Yes, Indeed, and that was why I described it as rather minor and insignificant.
