Set up a day and time for your g/God/dess to do something I can see and judge. I am a thinking person, this shouldn't be too hard to do.

Nations are real. France is real. Japan is real. Ethiopia is real. Languages are real. Borders are real, people make countries and they create huge amounts of evidence to enforce their existence. It is what people decide, and sure, boundaries can and do change but they are real where they are.

Every country has codes of behaviour for dress and socializing. You have to live in another country to find out what we do here if is often considered quaint or useless in another country. Numbers are important, if I see many women wear burkas I will protest much more strongly.

Good for France. We are permitted to make rules and decide on immigration, it is not a holy subject that any dissent is considered racism. This furthers my idea people consider the federal gov't the new Roman Catholic Church and any dissent which used to be heresy is now bigotry. This limits intelligent discussion on an important topic of the day. You won't be censoring me.

My good man, I hereby challenge you to visit Saudi Arabia, a fully Muslim state, and wear a Christian cross openly. Do not come crying to me when some Arab asshole beats the living crap out of you. Tell me, do you get my point? You will the moment the Arab bastards are caving in your skull with their boots.
The solution is simple. Ban all religion immediately!

Ah, believers are so thick. There were several christian sects when Constantine decided to put the bible together in his own image and create the Roman catholic church. He left out all the other christian writings of the time to suit his own political motivations (to keep the christians that followed Paul - Paulianity) from tearing his empire apart. He also translated the writings to suit himself so most of the none sense about Peter being the foundation of the church is as nonsensical as the rest. Even Constantine did not become a christian until his death bed. When are you going to stop believing in fairy tales?

The issue is about forcing women to wear them. If these people are forced to do it then it would be just as wrong. Another issue is identification. A woman could wear a babushka when her drivers license picture was taken and it could still be used as a reasonable source of identification.

To me, this is a security issue..you could hide a lot of explosives under such a loose fitting garment like this. But,if the ladies can't be bothered to shave their hairy legs and armpits,let them cover everything up

I have one of those!!! But mine is electric (watch batteries) to power the LED lights.

I wonder how somethng like this would fit into ID for voting??? That could be
Osama Bin Ladin or George W. Bush under there...and who would know???
Posing forthe picture? Smile and say "Cheese!!!"![]()
P.S. I too had to produce photo ID in order to vote in the last Federal Election.


And what is wrong with immigrants bringing their culture to Canada? It adds more colour, more diversity to Canadian society and it should be welcome.
I for one wouldn’t want to go back to the lily white, homogenous country of 50 or 100 years ago.
At the same time, their culture must obey our laws, the Charter and the constitution. However, provided it doesn’t come into conflict with any of these, I think every attempt should be made to accommodate their culture in the mainstream.

Canada prevented the introduction of Sharia law in Canada a few years back, that was a major victory. The burka now are small potatoes in comparison.
I quite agree dumpthemonarchy. To me, it doesn’t make sense to impose a blanket ban on burka. Sharia of course had to be stopped.
Yet we have signs here immigrants are getting too aggressive in bringing their culture to Canada. Why come to Canada if you don't want to become Canadian?
