Quote:An Asian woman who works in a pharmacy in east London was told to dress more modestly and wear a veil or the shop would be boycotted.
When she went to the media to talk about the abuse she suffered, a man later entered the pharmacy and told her: 'If you keep doing these things, we are going to kill you'.
So we should deny ourselves freedom of dress because some lunatics on the other side of thw orld did it? You have tried this line of argument before Soren. When confronted with the stupidity of it, you merely chop and change to some other silly argument. Yet for some reason you change back to it? Is it because all of your arguments are as stupid as this one? Are you going to change back to meat pies again now?
Furthermore, you yourself promoted the idea that you should be able to refuse employment to someone based on how threy dressed. Should this right only be extended to white people like you?
Quote:Just to illustrate that your hobbyhorse of "letting women choose for themselves" is a load of bollocks on stilts.
But it does not illustrate anything Soren. It is an example, yet here you are claiming that it proves some kind of rule. The only thing it illustrates is your inability to make a cogent argument against a woman's right to choose for herself.
Quote:FD if every woman wore a burqa in this country would you be comfortable with that???.
Of course not, but freedom means the right to say and do things that other people might not like. I would feel equally uncomfortable if everyone walked round naked, but you don't see me railing against the nudist movement.
Quote:we would have to build larger toilets I am afaid.. I cant begin to understand what going to the bathroom means to those women!!
How about you leave that for the women to figure out?
Quote:THIS ISSUE, is not about banning 'clothing', or the 'right' of someone, anyone, to choose to wear, the clothing that they choose to wear.
It is about some people choosing to hide their apparent identity, in public places.
You are not making any sense either Yadda. If Grey calls for all religious clothing, unfiroms, symbols etc to be banned, what has that to do with the concealment of identity?
Quote:So i guess cultural mores are un-important
Yadda, I said they don't have feelings. When it comes to trying to deny people fudnamental human rights, you are correct, cultural mores are unimportant.
Quote:If as you insist, cultural mores are un-important, why don't moslems seem agree with you
Why should I care whether they agree with me Yadda?
Quote:It is indeed my right to see the face of anyone, anywhere in a public place.
No it is not belgarion. Your rights apply to you. They are not some idiotic excuse to for you to compel other people to do what you want. You have no clue what rights are.
Quote:I don't care what the religious or cultural imperatives, the common good overrules them all.
Chopping and changing again are you Belgarion? Or do you see no distinction between your rights and the 'common good'?
