Not really a drinker. I prefer my intoxicant smoked.

Hey! I just thought of something, if this Burka ban takes off and more countrys ban them, where would I get my Burka porn?

Perhaps the black market will still provide the hot burka girls for us sexual deviants? I know that's the second place I'd check. The first is my computer, of course. Smile

What do you mean "us" sexual deviants? Angry My sexual preferances are not deviant.

They're 'escapades'. Tongue

Do I approve of the hateful way they look at the West? Absolutely not.
I understand the reasons why they hate the west, and I find them very valid. Islamophobia is our problem, and not theirs.

I really don't like the burqa. I find it rude/ insulting/ an affront. External expressions of piety are for the benefit of others, and as such are worthless IMO.

I'm pretty divided on this.. although I'm more slanting towards for the ban. The issue of Muslim integration is a big problem in France, and I think its pretty discernible behind the reason why they want to cover themselves like ghosts, not to mention that France is pretty much the most secular country in Europe, and what is law, is quite frankly law. However, as a libertarian it pretty much contradicts what I think of individual rights, regardless of the reason they want to wear it..

Though can someone tell me how a Muslim women wearing a burqa can work as say, for example, a pilot, swimming coach, fitness coach, teacher, politician, nurse, doctor, architect, radiologist, policewoman, firefighter, and the majority of occupations? All news sources I've seen with women wearing burqas are either housewives or accountants; honestly how many accountants can you have?
