Dutch to ban burka.

[hempity]

This has nothing to do with terrorism, conservatism, or christian fundamentalism. I think it's a horrible practice, maybe just a notch better than female circumcision. The goal is to liberate women from the tyranny of religion, at least in Europe and North America. We don't have the right to tell other governments what to do, like in the Middle East, but at least we can help those who came here.

the burka is not just a religious item it is a way to dress to be protected from harsh elements, to ban it because you think it is a horrible practice is a bit scary, you might think eating frog is horrible, and then where would all the frenchmen get the spring in their step.

how can you have freedom of religion in one hand, and then tell it, or set limitations on it in the other?

yeah, there's a reason we have the 1st amendment...for the time being...it's in the process of being shit-canned...

1st ammendment doesnt protect Burkas, look at the Case in Florida where the woman screamed freedom of religion because she couldnt wear it on her Drivers License, saying it was part of her religion. Too bad she lost the case in Florida Supreme Court, since it was found that SAUDI ARABIA allows woman to take picture id's with the burka off.

the ACLU dosent even want kids to play dodgeball in school because it promotes racist feelings????hahahaha.

Dodgeball in school, in the 60's in Brooklyn, was dangerous for my wife and other girls. She was petite, and certain stronger girls would throw that ball at her pretty viciously.
Bullies always get their comeuppance, eventually, and I'm sure those girls did.
The ACLU, in this case, was right.

To be honest, I had no idea what the "burka" is (<- should that be was? I'm no good with tense) until i checked the link... And now that i know... I don't care.

what the hell is wrong with you?
you like those brutal ARMED thugs?
you think they are going to protect you, you are up for a big disillusionment, the first time you do something the bullies with badges don't like, and i don't even feel sorry for you, but boy it's gonna hurt, they learn pain hold techniques that will leave you a whimpering pile of shit. (lol) better get ready, i am sure they will get to your house before the "terrorist" do.

I was just making a point that Nick's dismissing of the abuses and racial antagonisms of some youth, against others, does not take into consideration that this is one of the reasons why their behavior comes back to haunt them later on.

People that have been injured (Iâ??m not talking about the police), physically and otherwise (and I HAVE been in both respects), are far more likely to strike back. If somebody targets me, in the streets or wherever, they ALWAYS back off when they see my expression and/or body language - not to mention the things that I say, lol. Sorry, but that's the way I survived here. When you tell somebody that you will kill them, and they know that you mean it, these cowards will back off â?? even if they are bigger, armed with a weapon (not a gun), etc. Thatâ??s survival in the streets, and if our leaders understood this, weâ??d have far less to worry about. Unfortunately, they donâ??t know how to handle terrorists, and the do-gooders would rather we all die than protect ourselves. I learned a long time ago that cowards, which all predators are, do not go after crazy people.

You are kidding yourself if you think that by removing the police we would be safer. This is absurd.

If you could be a little more specific as to the circumstances of the police injuring you, maybe it would make more sense â?? because some of us have not had this experience. Iâ??m not saying it didnâ??t happen, but we donâ??t know what your experience was. Iâ??ve gotten ticketed a few times for smoking in the wrong place, and spoken to nastily, but thatâ??s about it.

I have had a lot more trouble with people than cops, and I think that many would say the same. Some people actually deserve what they get, but you donâ??t seem to think that justice ever prevails. Well, I've accepted the fact that it doesn't always happen, there are some bad people everywhere and always will be, and try to work around it. Sorry for your problem, whatever it was. I've been badly hurt also. As the old military saying goes, "That which does not kill you, makes you stronger".
