History of Profiling

Subject: HISTORY OF PROFILING
The day it all started was March 6, 1836.  On that fateful day, Davy Crockett woke up and rose from his bunk on the main floor of the Alamo. He then walked up to the observation post along the west wall of the fort.
William B. Travis and Jim Bowie were already there, looking out over the top of the wall. These three great men gazed at the hordes of Mexicans moving toward them.
With a puzzled look on his face, Crockett turned to Bowie and said: “Jim, are we having some landscaping done today?”

 

Seasonal blonde joke

As a trucker stops for a red light on A12 a blonde catches up. She jumps out of her car, runs up to his truck, and knocks on the door. The trucker lowers the window, and she says, “Hi, my name is Heather, and you are losing some of your load!”

The trucker ignores her and proceeds down the street. When the truck stops for another red light, the girl catches up again. She jumps out of her car runs up and knocks on the door. Again, the trucker lowers the window.

As if they’ve never spoken, the blonde says brightly, “Hi, my name is Heather, and you are losing some of your load!”

Shaking his head, the trucker ignores her again and continues down the street. At the third red light, the same thing happens again.

All out of breath, the blonde gets out of her car, runs up, knocks on the truck door. The trucker lowers the window. Again she says, “Hi, my name is Heather, and you are losing some of your load!”

When the light turns green the trucker revs up and races to the next light When he stops this time, he hurriedly gets out of the truck, and runs back to the blonde. He knocks on her window, and as she lowers it, he says,…………

“Hi, my name is Kevin, it’s winter and I’m driving the f—— gritter…….”

Discrimination

France and Germany have decided jointly to block the entry of Romania and Bulgaria to the Schengen group of 25 countries between which a passport is not necessary. The Romanian president has denounced this move as ‘discrimination’. Well, yes!

This is yet another case of the word ‘discrimination’ being used pejoratively irrespective of the relevance of the act. When did discrimination become wrong, per se? What matters, surely, is whether or not the act of discrimination is pertinent to the case in hand. We have become accustomed to considering discrimination in a negative light, when the ability to discriminate is a characteristic that sets mankind apart from lower animals.

If the Romanian president wishes to end this particular act of discrimination, the solution lies in his own hands, not in Berlin or Paris.
