I would oppose any gov't that required one to where a burqa, but also would oppose a gov't that said you could not where a burqa. Freedom is a beautiful thing.

Do you think that the practice of covering women from head to toe with Burqas should be totally banned from all societies on Earth? No. Would you ban the Burqa in your town? No. Do you think that you could live peacefully with a neighbor that believes in the wearing of the Burqa and poligamy? Yes, as long as they didn't try and enforce it on others, but how did poligamy get in there? Would you be accepting of women in Burqas as presidents or committee chairwomen of your local PTA? No. Of women wearing the Burqa teaching your children, as nurses or doctors? No. If your wives wanted to wear the Burqa, would you support that decision? No.

Do you think that the practice of covering women from head to toe with Burqas should be totally banned from all societies on Earth? I do not believe we can or should. It should just be discouraged. Would you ban the Burqa in your town? No. Do you think that you could live peacefully with a neighbor that believes in the wearing of the Burqa and poligamy? My neighbors business is none of mine, i would not associate with any man that forced his wife into a Burqa. He dude would be an asshole in my book. Would you be accepting of women in Burqas as presidents or committee chairwomen of your local PTA? Hard to imagine a woman so oppressed running for anything though my scorn is reserved for the man, not the woman. Of women wearing the Burqa teaching your children, as nurses or doctors? I would not let my kids be around such a troubled person. If your wives wanted to wear the Burqa, would you support that decision? If you knew my wife, you'd laugh at the suggestion. She rather die than wear one of those stupid things.<gg> To sum up, the Burqa is a symbol and a means of oppression. These Taliwhacker men are comsumate pussies as it is relatively easy to push around weaker women. IMO, strong men have no problems with strong women.
