I guess since I've been profiled all of my life, it's the reason I don't really do it to other people.

tall lady wearing a baseball cap ,shitkickers (tall work boots )long baggy shorts and a t-shirt .... ( ok, give me a break ...i`m going to work and it is suppose to be in the mid 90`s ...not looking to pick -up men
now now ...ya just never know what a man will find attractive....aught to see my baby with her holy sweats n tshirt..hell almost lude to wear the shirt outside anymore but they're well broke in and very very comfy and to ME sxy on her....just sayin ......... 
now profiling...i think EVERYONE does it....like it or not or admit it or not...just like we use our past to gage and or react to new things that happen to us....we're a cumulation (yea yea we ALL know i can't fuckin spell) of our past to this point......you do it so do i.......no biggie unless we're hurtfull........MAYBE it's part of a deep defense system??  MAYBE i'm just tired and wishing I WERE back in bed cuddled up with..........oh neva mind

I like what RNJ said, unfortunately I still find myself doing it on occasion. Even though I try not to.
I try really hard not to judge people and place them in a stereotype view......but maybe I've just seen too many movies, read too many newspaper articles or paid attention to the news a few too many times..
I'm not sure if it's human nature or a learned handicap.
Either way, I don't think 9/11 helped any. 
MAYBE i'm just tired and wishing I WERE back in bed cuddled up with....... Anyone wanna take bets on whether Y made it to work on time...

Profiling is nothing more than taking your lifetime of experience and applying it to people you meet, or see, for the first time.....
Everyone does it.....whether in real life, or on the net.....It is a self-protection reaction to what is going on around you.
I've been doing it for 50 years, and have NEVER been wrong....and I'm sure I'm not alone in this....
Now, everyone wants to tell me Profiling is wrong.....Excuse me, but didn't they just assume that, as a human being, I Profile people?....Isn't THAT Profiling?...
Now, for anyone that says they don't "Profile"...I only have one thing to say..............BULLSHIT!!!.

Good blog J. I'm not sure that there is more than a very fine line between profiling and making judgements, or to use less a less provocative word, decisions. Most of us would rarther err on the side of caution and be safe, than be too trusting and non-judgemental and be burned. Unlike Straight I have been wrong on occasion and try not to be judgemental, but I will base my decision on all the facts available. My decisions are mine, though. Unfortuneately people in positions of authority always have to answer to the greater public...or should have to...and need to make decisions with the eyes of the world on them.
No J, you're not alone. I just got back from Chicago a few days ago, remember? I saw those guys.

geez - where to start
3 Italians in an Escalade - towin' a boat - askin' for bait
could be my insurance guy and his brothers
if you're fishing a new spot you head straight for the bait shop
you'll learn what to use - where to fish - all the good stuff
profiling - we all do it
I have a garden at work - veggies and fruit
the neighborhood is changing - it's still stable - lots of cash being invested in the area
so I'm bored with work and I head to the garden to water or weed - actually to smoke a cigar and get some air
and there are 3 white kids hangin' between the buildings where the garden sits
and I'm thinkin'
"that's not right - why are they here - keep an eye on 'em"
turns out they were visiting friends
people look at me and think I'm a scary biker type
when if fact I just felt like growing my hair out again and I happen to ride
I'm more of a harmless ding-dong mindin' my own
ok - maybe that's a stretch - but
thanks for the glimpse into the rural mindset
a greenie for ya
