You say that because the polls show that most people support ssm, then the parliament should just vote on it. Well, by the same logic, most people support a ban on the burqa so the parliament should just vote for that too, right?

Not really, cause by saying burqa ban, they havent even defined the problem. Its actually a niqab.

Niqab and burqa are the same except the latter also covers the eyes. They're both symbols of female oppression.

But thanks for confirming my point. It's not the principle that matters but whether or not you agree with the policy.

So they aren't the same. But my actual response is that allowing SSM (whilst legislating for religious protections) doesnt discriminate against anyone, but banning the burqa/niqab does.

where is the discrimination bojack?

Umm, ok, so can we ban the nuns habit? Since thats apparently not discriminatory either. How about crappy suits worn by Jehovahs witness.

I really dont believe you asked that question.

really we are talking about FACE COVERING are we not..

when was the last time you saw a nun with her face covered..or a witness with his face covered ?????

or dont you see the difference in them either pet? Angry

I can believe you gave that reply to be honest...

but it is what this has come down too...the Burqa does not belong in this country..... anymore than walking around with a ski mask on does ......it has neither religious nor cultural affiliations

Probably around the late 1990's though when I was young it was common. I knew a number of Nuns for years who's face I have never seen.
