Re: 2 large explosions at Boston Marathon
Oh all right, I'll put my hand up. Beating up a Sikh because he's got a brown skin is racist, because race is the point at issue. Unless the victim is a white Sikh, of which there are very few, I've read. Beating up a Sikh because he's a Muslim isn't racist, because race isn't an issue. (I don't know whether it's even possible for a Sikh to be a Muslim. Is it? I don't think so.) Beating up a Sikh because he's a Sikh of whatever colour is religious bigotry, but not racism, I think.
All right, I've put my hand down now.

So I don't see what your point is at all as you're not comparing apples to apples.

Re: 2 large explosions at Boston Marathon
I'm curious. Do you really think a dedicated thief is interested in whether your car is locked or unlocked?
Same goes for a house. You really think a thief tests doors to see if they are locked or not?

We did have a stereo nicked out of an unlocked (and unused at the time) car in our driveway in a very quiet street a few years back. Joke was on them though, it was a piece of crap

It's more to deter the opportunist. A 'professional' thief is going to get in no matter what (as I tell my wife when she nags me about not locking my car in the garage ...).

That was disheartening.
