Ban The Burka?

[vernonk]

Would you like to see the burka banned? I consider it a threat to national security, apart from anything else

[BlackadderV]

Judging by the state of some of the women in my town, far from banning it, it should be made compulsory.

[Answerprancer]

No D/B ...only those who (IMO) have a track record of anti-humanitarian irrational drivel.

[-Talbot-]

Don't you think a man who makes a woman wear something against her will using religion as an excuse is a knuckle-dragging drooling anti-humanitarians too?


Given that we know many women are forced into wearing these things, whose side are you Mr Humanitarian?

[Answerprancer]

Talbot - yes I do.

[DTCwordfan]

And down here, the men should wear Burqas, BlackAdder, just in case the women's fall off. Gloves as well to hide the six fingers.

[Answerprancer]

..and FYI, I don't by my postings claim any moral high ground - I'm sure I have had some irrational anti-humanitarian opinions/reactions occasionally, no-one's perfect.

[-Talbot-]

And whose side are you on?

[Answerprancer]

Mine.

[BlackadderV]

Where is AOG when you need some calm rational input into the debate?

[-Talbot-]

I thought it would be quite a dilemma for you, AP

[Answerprancer]

Not at all but thanks for the concern :-)

212 responses and not a word from the OP. Overwhelmed perhaps.

When the two burka wearing women ignored me, I didn't thing ignorant moo's. I actually felt sorry for them, it cannot be a great existence not having the freedom to talk to whomever you wish.

Perhaps it's best to pretend it is not happening, I remember many, many, women often walked into a door in the 1970'S
There was no domestic abuse back then, oh no!

[Answerprancer]

He's got his work cut out :-)

[ladybirder]

And Yes, I should like to see it banned in public.

While I agree with your sentiments Answerprancer, I always think it is a mistake to start name calling. Those on here who are unable to take part in a reasoned inyeligent debate, will just see this as an excuse for a ruck.

But, yes, it is common sense but as I never tire from remarking, common sense isn't always popular, especially when it gets in the way of a good old rant.

[Answerprancer]

...dah, maybe you're right (as in 'correct'). It's just that seeing the same names popping up rankles with me a bit.

[ladybirder]

Have a rant at the D Mail AP. That'll make you feel better;-)

[BlackadderV]

...and no one liked a "a good old rant" more than Aneurin Bevan.
