Burqa

[ducatilover]

I do but that beside the point....

Its a weird situation at times though...I find that I dont eat in front of them (when working on the same job) not that it should bother me to do so, I even watch my swearing...

I do the same I was brought up as a crazy christian, very similar to the brethren, so I just tone it down instinctively.
Unless i get door knockers, did you know, they don't come back when you answer naked?

So what do we call our culture and what cultural etiquette do the have to follow? Maori? Or perhaps some bastardised British, Scottish or Irish thing?

A very good point

My post was a little too generic, you're quite right. And as much as I don't think we can make a "to the letter" bulletpoint etiquette, we can still have a few criterias of identity, right?

For example, I am enclined to find people from other countries who have been here for some time, and who are still incapable of talking english, more than a little insulting.

I don't really have too big a problem with whatever accoutrement anyone wants to wear, as long as it doesn't go against a law of our country. France made Burqas illegal for that very reason: the French were fed up of having their laws "adapted" to suit immigrants' religious requirements. Maybe there is some lesson here for all nations allowing other nationalities in?

Nicely written, I was just hoping to wind someone up I think being able to speak English is very handy, I also get irritated by those who cannot, but, that's their problem. What pisses me off more though is the disgusting vernacular of people my age....the majority of foreigners I have met who speak english have a far better grasp of it than so many young twits. Are they not taught anything in the way of eloquence, let alone grammar these days?
Rant rant rant

It's alright...Being born French and having emigrated here 15 years ago, without any command of the english language to start with, I know exactly what you mean.

Guess it may account for why I am such a pedant about it ... BDGOTNZA for the win!!! Lol

You seem to type it more than well enough, better than the majority of people my age (How is this possible? What's the schooling system doing?)

Anyway we must get back on subject

The most popular answer is that I'm just a freak... who knows? I like to live in hope that I am just a cunning linguist

Yes, yes, indeed...

I like how I always see "cunning linguist" as a double entendre...

Yes, yes, indeed...

That's my day made Laughing like a twat now!

Please don't tell me you *seriously* thought that was a coincidence? I'm hurt...

*takes a bow*...You're welcome!

There is a surprising amount of nice tidbits on Youtube if you punch in Burqa.

indded. Not only freedom OF religion, but separation of Church and State, and freedom FROM religion as well.

I do have a dearly held view that all religion is oppression, however.

Wearing shorts etc, who cares it's not illegal and you can wear what you want as far as I'm concerned. There are no bank rules stating you must not wear shorts (though you're probably not allowed in wearing a gang patch).

The acid test for me is "would you, me, or rangi be allowed to walk around in public in the same attire". I suspect not.

Youtube.....under the burqa

Stink I thought that was going to be pr0n.

Sure you would... that's the great thing about a burqa, nobody knows if it's a muslim woman, you, me, rangi, or all of us at once, underneath it

If you tell me you haven't got one in your box of tricks, and that you've not used to fuck with people, either you're dead boring, or lying

I might have to buy one. What do you think it's like to ride in?
