It was brought up in a city in Florida and Hannity was discussing it for like 10 minutes a few months ago. He was actually for the ban, which is pretty funny since he's supposed to be all cons utional and stuff.
Did someone really try to ban those? I've always wondered what was the appeal of those things. I guess some people like having enough crotch room for a 20-lb turkey.

We already have that religion. They meet late at night, worship at the altar of the brass pole and collect hings in even $20 incriments to melodious hymns such as Def Leppard's "pour some sugar on me".
don't forget their sacrament of $4 steak and fries.
Wow, did I call this one or what? I just said earlier in a post that Sarkozy is a blowhard, and here he comes out and confirms it. Thanks Sarkozy!
It's not that big a deal, really. I saw a good amount when I went to Abu Dhabi and Dubai last year.
I didn't see many that just left the eyes uncovered... most were everything but the face and hands. But the ones I did saw didn't scare me or anything like that. It's curious, but not creepy.
LOL
Actually, since I live in S.A. and not anywhere near the Florida State campus, I'm eternally grateful that public nudity is against the law.
Being an Austin resident, it's been my experience that the nudists are near the top of the list of people you wouldn't ever want to see nude.
France is a secular state since 1905 which implies that the French government is legally prohibited from recognising any religion. Conversely, religious organisations should refrain from intervening in policy-making.
At the time this bill guarantee religious freedom (as long as it does not interfer with politics).

Anyway, Sarkozy is full of and he is merely trying to distract the media with this needless BS and the French MSM are so happy to eat it it's disgusting.
Later in the speech Sarkozy also mandated that women visiting or moving to France would not be allowed to shave their armpits or nether regions.
Mine does.
Nobody else will join, though.
Yeah, I don't think many people realize (or care) that many of these so called debasement of women is an imposition of the men upon the women in these societies. That is just not the case. In many of the middle eastern cultures it is the women who pursue the wearing of certain clothing and the prohibition of certain behaviors (like driving).
I would agree that if these things were being imposed upon french Muslim women of age against their will, it should be dealt with as a violation of rights. But if they are adults, or children being raised by their parents with certain values, who is the government to say otherwise.
This isn't the 1st time the french have done this in recent history:
They banished religious symbols from schools. And I don't mean in the class room, I mean on the students themselves. They seem to want to deal with diversity by quashing individuality. It seems ironically socialist.
this is not about French intolerance of other religions or cultures, but about protecting the secular nature of the French state. France is a lay country, not a religious country. A lay country doesn't mean a place where you cannot believe in a God. But in order to be able to worship wherever you want, you need to accept that others are worshipping somebody else. Therefore, in schools, administrative offices and public offices, they want to ban any visible religious sign.
Who cares what people wear and who cares if people walk around nude.
You would think there are more important issues than the one of covering up what is natural, for whatever reason.
Sounds pretty much to me like intolerance.
ummm.. I care if people walk around nude.
I almost get in a car accident everytime some chick with a nice rack is jogging past me on the way to school.
If she was nekkid I'd be in jail for manslaughter already.
Is it buck nekkid or butt nekkid?
Sounds to me like the ultimate example of tolerance.
No freaks imposing their thinly veiled intolerant bigotry to others.
I saw a woman at the Doctors office come in fully covered from head to toe. Only thing to be seen were her eyes.
I thought the ultimate example of tolerance was ignoring everyone. Tolerance is an individual thing, not a thing that can be legislated, unless of course they legislate us into all thinking and acting the exact same, in which case, that society will stagnate and die.
Ah, not a fan of liberty are you?
