2.  What if MEN wear burkhas in France?

The law is carefully worded to avoid language specific to religion or sex.

So, if I was a hermaphrodite in a bedsheet, I'd be fucked?  That hardly seems fair.

Well, it's not "fair" if you assume the law is targeted at Muslim women, as it clearly is, but it's "fair" if they apply it to everyone who covers their face in public.

Bad time to be a leper in France.

Most people have a hard time remembering that the French were actually pretty big on Nazism.  Looks like they've fallen back into the habit.

I'm enjoying the thought of millions of Teabaggers trying to get their heads around the fact that France of all places is building the country of their dreams.

EOT I dont care whether you are Daruko or not, if you don't want people to treat you like a fucking annoying troll, stop the EITHER/OR thing. It's fucking annoying and unnecessary.

then you can talk about whether or not you "don't exactly appreciate the disrespectful attitude" and expect one to actually give a flying fuck.



1.  Worse things happen at sea.

2.  Someone was disrespectful on PD?  WHAT?   :lulz:
