Show me where I said "There is no threat"... I said it's a rare occurence... Meaning yes there is a threat... A small one... Well, I guess it would be a big one if we left ourselves completely open ("We can just walk in and blow americans up! (^-^"), but of course we'd never do that, and we weren't doing that before September 11th...

I also said:

"But America has to act big and bad and turn these events that happen once in a blue moon into a long, drawn out ordeal that will be proven to be useless (at least at it's main goal of protecting the US) when there's another terrorist attack on American soil years down the road"...

Meaning I believe terrorists will again slip through the cracks and conduct an attack on US Soil... But it's not like it's gonna happen every year or something... Not even every 2, 3, 4, even 5 years... Of course it's all speculation... And not just the stuff I say...

and if you argue that "Yeah because we're fighting them back WOOO!" Then I'll just go back to my original post where I said BEFORE september 11th, BEFORE we started 'fighting back' these things were a rare occurence on US soil...

So YES there is a threat (they're always plotting ways to hit the US and their interests abroad), but we reduce the risk greatly by just doing things we have always been doing... Which is why I think major pre-emptive strikes on terrorist groups, countries that harbor terrorism, or even Iraq is pointless and a huuuuuuge waste... UNLESS (as I said before) it was in direct retaliation for the rare terrorist attack that does occur on US soil...

And yeah, I wasn't counting Oklahoma City, I meant terrorist attacks on the US from outside sources...

Well when a terrorist from the US attacks us, we don't respond with bombs... And then set off on a quest around the world to wipe out terrorism...

Canada.. 90% white?.. definatley not. There is a whole mountain of Asain and Indian people around here. Not to mention that im part Asain. There are a lot of different races living here. and a lot of the black people came to Canada in the 1800's to escape slavery.

That part was meant to be kind of a joke, using a Canadian Bacon quote as the inspiration. Sorry if you took it literally, I worked in Toronto for a long time and I personally know there is a huge Asian population. I managed a Asian telemarketing campaign.

Did you listen to their calls and offer helpful tips like "you need to make it sound more conversational, not like you're reading from a script," and "good job on that appointment!" or "I've got to have eight hours out of you!"

I was never that close to the floor. I handled more of the numbers and compiled statistics and told the floor managers who to work with a whatnot. I rarely monitored calls myself.

Plus, the calls were in Mandarin and Cantonese... how would I even know what they're saying?
