I could not be bothered reading through 25 pages of posts, so if this has already been covered then my apologies in advance.
I think people are kind of missing the point here. If it was saudi arabia, or iran that banned the wearing of the burkha then perhaps there would be cause to agree, as it is required by state law. However, in France, the worlds greatest democracy, Women are already free to decide wether or not to wear traditional dress. There is no state rule which says they must, they are only confined by their choice of faith and/or husband. But it is THEIR CHOICE. A total ban on something in a free society, no matter how well meaning. I mean, could you imagine the uproar if americans were told they couldnt own guns anymore, simply because of the fact that it caused a feeling of repression or fear among those citizens who did not own guns?
You think that trying to make the world peachy by attepting to repress thousands of years of animal instinct and territorial behaviour is really going to make a difference to anyhting that happens in the universe. Well im sorry, but thats not how the world works chum. If you have to tread over the piled corpses of your fellow humans to reach the pinnacle of your existance then you know you're a true human. Take what you want by force, burn what you cant.
Unless of course you are happy with the profiteers riding roughshod over you for the sake of being able to "turn off the news" and just forget about it.
Just because we have some sembelance of higher thought does not mean that humans are civilised, no matter how hard it fed to us and how deep we delude ourselves to the fact that once the veneer is stripped away we are anything more than base animals. All that we do to and accomplish through our meaningless existence all boils down to survival and continuation of the species and nothing more, despite all the gloss and meaning we force ourselves to believe as to prevent our large but relatively underdeveloped brains from exploding
Seriously though, i wouldnt say no to marrying an American girl, the thought of living in the USA doesnt paticularily appeal to me. But there is just something about those southern accents that gets me all warm inside
