And eff u both! My daughter is in Uganda (about 2 1/2 hours from Kampala) as part of her college intern program to become a missionary. You are both cold, heartless, bastards!

Just Ban It!

Israelis are NOT suspicious of 0bama--they've already seen that he exceeds Bubba in the "waffling" department.
And they DID trust two Jordanian kings, grandpa and grandson (why 0bama would be ignorant of this fact):
grandpa, Abdulla ibn Hussein (born 1882/02/14, reigned 1946/05/25-1951/07/20) grandson Hussein ibn Talal (born 1935/11/14; reigned 1952/08/11-1999/02/07)

That is not to say that from the 'public's' perspective there isn't an element of nationalism present in the desire to have these things banned when people are asked about it in a poll. I am quite sure there is but that does not mean that a government that seeks to ban something that completely covers the face is a bad thing per se and 'religious' reasons have no weight in a secular government.

That is one spin on it, to be sure. However, when one understands that there is no religious requirement to wear a full veil as a Muslim, then questions should be raised as to why an exemption should be made for people to wander around with their heads completely covered in public places. It's not as if there is a hoarde of Darth Vader wannabes trying to wear masks in public places for us to be sure that this would not be an issue, which to be honest, I suspect it would be.

I doubt you would be allowed in any banks or public buildings with any kind of costume mask on whether or not such a thing is specifically banned.

The difference is that people use their religious faith as the reason that they must flout the rules - thus requiring a specific banning.
Or perhaps more properly put disallowing the exemption even on religious grounds.

knew there was a reason some films don't appeal to me ... geez wonder why writers can't simply use words instead of taking the "cheap" way out with bad language ....

overcast ... rain (on/off) ... humidity 95% ... and about 81F

are these films of you at work?

And I stopped reading your post after your hateful rage filled close mindedness and generalizations became apparent. You must be a far left liberal Democrat with communist/socialist tendencies.

You call people worse than that on VJ every friggin' day.

Are you absolutely sure of this (this = words in bold)?

Might be a good idea. Look what happened the last time we let people come in from foreign countries. 500 hundred years and they still haven't left. 0i.

Good idea if the illegals wear makeup, bright clothes and try to all fit into a small car.

Real men play hockey.

My Goodness, your posts seem to be getting even more bizarre by the second. I don't think that you will understand the issues or the problems. You don't understand citizenship or reservations or the history of the Aboriginal People or the wanton abrogation of treaty after treaty by the white man. Go and read the history of how 2 billion acres was stolen from the rightful owners of the land, then come back and post.

You just don't get it do you, genius. Any further arguments with you are a waste of type.

Next you will be telling me to go back to my own country ..... :bonk: :bonk:

There is nothing funny about the plight of Aboriginal people. Haven't they suffered enough without having ignorant folk poking fun at them ?
You know better.
