While I do not support across-the-board ban on full face-covering veil wearing, I do support this: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8494860.stm

Yes, this is good. I don't agree with banning the veil, since I think a ban will likely create more problems than it solves, but a man attempting to force his wife to dress in accordance with his wishes isn't acceptable.
What do you mean "we", have you got a mouse in your pocket?

Do French maid outfits count?

That's not forcing. That's begging, pleading, and bargaining.
The problem with having an open mind is that people keep trying to put things in it.

the minister stressed that French law required anyone seeking naturalisation to demonstrate their desire for integration.


And so they should. Well done, France.

As long as that doesn't mean only weekly showers, wearing funny berets, and having to ascribe to the view that Jerry Lewis is a comic genius.
The dogma lives loudly within me.
