Why not just ban buses?
If I was caught jerking off on a bus while my face remained covered, I would never feel humiliated for one second. When's the next bus coming by?
Thank you Stroller for a very succinct post.
It would matter a lot if she had friends who wanted to do the same.
The logic of being able to determine who blew up the bus, where they lived, who they knew, etc, etc. All the usual methods to identify cells of terrorists.
I think you are both trolling. You clearly understand the need to identify people.
Quit the trolling, boner, it's getting old!
That is the rational justification, but this isn't the law. And it is a long way from the irrational anti-Muslim sentiment and fearmongering of the OP.Quote:

The paranoia displayed here is disturbing. You're more likely to be killed in the U.S. by a person concealing a gun under a jacket or trench coat, but, none of you are calling for bans on those articles of clothing.
Maybe paranoia is the wrong word. Bigoted is more appropriate perhaps.
Tell me...has any criminal ever concealed his or her identity?
The purpose of concealment is to hide identity. But yet none of you put forth any calls for bans on other forms of concealment. Why is that?

Now, there's 6 examples of how deadly people wearing ski masks and Halloween masks can be to average Americans. Why are you people not calling for bans on these objects yet calling for a ban on an object which has never led to a single death in the United States? Really disturbing.
You guys can't even find a single example of anyone dying in the U.S. due to a Muslim woman wearing a burqa yet the catcalls and screams over that particular garment are deafening. I think it's another case of the bigotry of certain posters on this forum coming out in the light. And we all wonder how the Holocaust took place.
^ Great point.The same reason why people are not allowed in banks wearing a crsh helmet.Same reason why a burqa should not be worn.No masks allowed at all.
That didn't any of stop the above, did it?
It may have stopped a few bank robberies don't you think?
Or maybe you should take up the cause of people that want to bank with a crash helmet on.Surely a good cause....
The point you are so clearly missing is that bank robberies in and of themselves are illegal in the first place. So, telling someone who is going to commit an illegal act regardless "Please don't wear a mask so we can identify you" amounts to nothing more than intellectual masturbation.
Maybe you'd want to ban the wearing of hoods, scarves, etc. since people tend to wear those in the cold regions of the United States?

Ummm...no, but I would ban them in Banks(hoods, scarves etc) and places like that.Wouldn't you?
There wasn't a single bank robbery in the links I posted.
It has now spread to Ireland, 4 ninja's were asked to leave the pub last night.
I did?Quote:
You did post awhile ago, that you would not support a bank that denied the burqa
..Yep.
Wrong as usual:
From the 'Veil' thread.Quote:
Here in the states many banks are requiring removal of sunglasses and hats as well prior to entering. I personally wear a hat and won't patronize such a bank...(83)
I would agree that facial coverings don't belong in a facility with obvious security implications (such as a bank)...(98)
I really tire of posters putting words in my mouth.
Red herring! Got nothing to do with the Holocaust, don't be ridiculous.
Yes, criminals indeed waer ski masks and Halloween masks! You just proved the case for not wearing face-concealing clothing in public places (except on a ski hill or at a Halloween party, I suppose).
In my experience, people do not wear Halloween or ski masks on buses or at a bank, so therefore they shouldn't be allowed to wear hijabs or anything else on buses or in banks. Same rule applies to everyone. Does that make sense?
What's unfair about that?
LC's caught you out there, mate, you clearly contradicted yourself!
If you are going to accuse a poster of making a claim then either back it up or withdraw.
End of discussion.
