Re: WPC 50K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

Are there any parts of France that get really cold? Balaclavas (aka ski masks) wouldn't be allowed either.

French Alps come to mind but I think people who ski there are probably too fashionable to wear balaclavas. :p

I'm of two minds about the the ban but no point getting into it.

I don't see why we don't have that freedom :| but covering the face is not necessary in Islam....it's up to us whether we wanna wear a veil

Tell me, could you step out your door right now without a veil on and wander the streets? Or even more so, walk out with out the full covering of your body in a black outfit? What would happen in that case? Or is information we have about KSA not true?

Don't take this as an attack I'm honestly curious. I know it's not a rule to wear a veil but I know some societies are a bit more strict on it.

While setting up my experiment at this fancy machine, a group of students was introduced to the same machine that stands next to it. It made me a little nervous, and it wasn't very comfortable working in between all these students. So I don't know if I ****ed up. At least I should be able to do the experiment twice today.

For lunch I'll go to the PhD meeting. They at least offer pizza for sure.

Without a veil....there are many Arabs. Without a head cover there are many foreigners who also wear abaya(the black outfit) in an almost next to nil manner...they wear the abaya but they don't put the buttons revealing the dress they're wearing....but it's my choice to wear the veil whereas my mumma and my sister don't wear the veil....as far as going out without wearing a veil right now...i would because some Arabs lower their gaze when a woman passes by! They respect :)

I see. It's always interesting how the western media spins things. You almost get this idea that if you walked out not 'properly' dressed you'd get arrested or something. I know when Afghanistan was controlled by the fundamentalist government (which it will probably go back to) they did enforce the wearing of the burka. I know there are some in Africa that are strict as well. There's also been a push in places like Turkey and Egypt to enforce it more as well with the underlying fundamentalist movements there.

Like I said, I'm of two minds about the whole thing. In one way I believe in choice of wearing what you want. On the other I see it as a vehicle for oppression by fundamentalist groups. It's hard to know what to think sometimes.

Americans... no sense for culture, only fast food and big cars.

Just kidding, I know you're from the UK, and I know this is a stupid cliche about people from the US.

I like the new ford focus saving up to replace my current ford focus which is 6 years old or 10.

What a porno? :p LOL! I heard that to. What a scary thought. :p

I don't think pornos are scary. :p

50 Shades of Grey must be terrible. Fan fiction porn written based on Twilight... most people don't even know that. It's a movie I'll avoid at all costs.

I wasn't saying pornos are scary things, the idea of a 50 Shade of Gray movie is scary...
