The comments astound me. And people bitch about the US being racist? Fuck. They don't hold a candle to the British.

Especially about South Asians.  Racism against blacks doesn't seem very common - I know it still exists, of course, but I'm much more shocked to hear anti-black sentiment than, say, anti-Pakistani sentiment.

In all honesty, if someone even mentioned outlawing the birqa or hijab over here, they'd be lynched on it violating the 1st Amendment (unless they are, of course, a group of minor Muslim kids from Detroit with sweatshirts.) If anything, I'm usually like, "Oooohhhh...pretty fabric!" when I see them anyway.

Just as a Jewish man has a right to wear a yarmulke, Islamic woman should be able to wear the hijab without questioning. And as I mentioned before, shit, up until ohh...the 1900s, good Christian folk ALWAYS wore hats of some sort when outdoors, and up through the Renaissance it was REQUIRED. It's a sign of piety and modesty.

In fact, I think it's going to be required now within the SPoK that all Discordians wear Kansas City Royals baseball caps.

I have to wonder if France and Switzerland are trying to create their own terrorism problem by doing shit like this so it can make its own PATRIOT act.

sad truth though it may be, you might very well win the thread. governments need enemies to distract the populace in times of economic downturn.

          I agree with your sentiment SUU. I have to say however, that the U.S. is the land of "freedom fries"  and innumerable other subtle social reform. Although surrounded by confusion of media goal and twists given to perception, the U.S. / Mexican border is currently patrolled by active forces of the organized "minute men".  Most Americans don't remember at this point in time, what life was like in America before the current (911 & POST) "WAR ON TERROR". Civilizations' substance is rumbling and transforming. Think of how sick your gut was at the thought of "W" being "President" and all of the effects. "Obama" may be yet an altered deception, deeper into the same sick betrayal of humanity.
FRANCE has had hard-core shit going on for a loong time now, tension-wise, and there are complex elements to consider. I'm certainly not supporting any established government decision. We can't point fingers at FRANCE. Our current "Administration" is totally O.K. with the idea that there are burqa donned terrorists. Take your shoes off and dispense of all liquids, my friend. If necessary, the government has loads of back up discs, you're on file.  In America, you are the enemy too. But because there's so many of you fuckers we don't discriminate, we just "disappear" 'ya.

OR

          I'm opening a private club, only for burqa wearers. And their admirers.

Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:

I don't like Burqas, either.

But I don't want to outlaw them.
