No. Not because i "don't like them". I didn't say that at all. I gave perfect reasons.

And as for the "and finding rare cases where poeple use them to commit a crime is stupid, I can easily do the same for hoodies and such." Go ahead. I don't care. I was only using it to show that it isn't just Muslim women who wear them. For all you know, Bin Laden could have walked past you in the street just Yesterday... The same goes for everyone else in the thread.

Oh, and you're the one being pathetic. You're trying to find the littlest little thing so you can play the racist card again. Get a grip.

The Burka (or however you spell the damn thing) is made to cover your entire face, baring the eyes, while you walk around in the street or work, doing day to day things. It hides your identity. End of. Do you support the supposed "ID Card" thing that was (or is?) going to happen here? Would you agree that Millions of those ID cards will have the exact same "face" on them?

The things you pointed out as should be banned, all have uses beneficial to the person wearing them, and even people around them in some cases (I'm looking at you, Bike Helmet and Internet). Paper bag is just "pathetic". The Burka... Doesn't. If anything it creates a problem for the vast majority of people around them. Especially nowadays with the Taliban and bomb scares...

And i fully agree with the quote posted in this thread. When in Rome...

Get over it. The Burka being kept as legal doesn't even benefit you...


I oppose ID Cards...

thats debatable, what benefit does wearing a hoodie give you? non medical plastic surgery? IM rather than phone?

"when in rome" is stupid, so if I go to a city known for rape, should I rape people too?

so what? im not allowed to care about peoples rights unless they affect me? thats stupid.

Fair enough.

A hoodie keeps you warm. Non Medical Plastic surgery... Way too many details to be bothered with even starting an arguement on that one, but even then... The chances are it's recorded with before and after shots, with details on the person having it done. IM rather than phone?... What?

It's only stupid if you are looking at it from a stupid point of view. "if I go to a city known for rape, should I rape people too" Is 100% a STUPID point of view.

People have a right to not be scared of being blown up by some terrorist hiding his face under a Burka in there own country. Doesn't seem you care too much about THOSE peoples rights though...

If France votes to not want the Burka. It's French people's RIGHTS to not want it. If i wanted to walk naked in public, it would be my right to do so. But i wouldn't be allowed. This is no different IMO...


1) you can buy clothes that keep you warm with no hoods on them...
2) plastic surgery for non medical reasons is only done for shallow selfish reasons, its also altering how you look, so could easily be used by criminals.
3) you said people should be able to see the face of who they talk too, with IM or Phone, or whatever, you cant do that.
4) how is it stupid? its the exact same logic as you are using, just taken to the logical conclusion.
5) no-one else mentioned terrorism? this seems like your poorly disguised islamophobia and that you think they are all terrorists because of what they were and where they come from.
6) I actually have no issue if people want to walk around naked, you might get cold though.

1. You can also buy other items of clothing with hoods. Are you suggesting all hoods should be banned as well as the Burka?

2. Sure. It could be used by criminals. If they wanted to spend Thousands on it, instead of what... A few quid on a bit of cloth? Point is, there would be records of before/after.

3. And you have a right to block/delete them if you want to. You don't have a right to block/delete someone wearing a Burka out of your face in the street.

4. I don't think it's logical. Look at Footballfan's reply to you about it...

5. There goes your racist card again. I was giving you another example of a crime it could be linked to. If you look back i gave you 2 more examples regarding crimes. Stop trying to stoop so low... Yet again. Oh, and not all terrorists are Muslim FYI. Although I'm sure you knew that already. Trying to have a debate with someone like you on something like this is pointless. The slightest little word negative of Islam automatically means you're racist...

6. Yet I'm still not allowed to do it. Funny that. Will you be arguing and campaigning for peoples rights to walk around naked, i wonder?
