I'm all for that (and for gun owners, as well.) Of course, you have to extend the same tolerance you expect people to show you to others who want you to tolerate _them._ I have no issue with that at all.

Of course, you have to extend the same tolerance you expect people to show you to others who want you to tolerate _them._ If they showed an ounce of respect for the society they are in, there would be no need for a law, just as stupid firearms owners f*** it up for the rest of us. Here in Kuwait, I am subject to some (rather draconian [and stupid, IMO]) islam-based laws. Do I flout them??? Demand that they change THEIR laws just to suit ME??? F*** no - it's THEIR COUNTRY.

livendive 8 #57 February 4, 2011 Quote Quote How were last night's services at Westboro Baptist, Mark? It looks like you topped off your hateful bigotry tank good and proper, praise Jesus. Blues, Dave Oh darn, and here I can't even invoke Godwin. Want to see hateful bigotry? Watch Al-Jazeera (the Arabic, not the English-language version). You have no freakin' idea what bigotry is. mh . Oddly enough, the temperature of the Arabian desert has little bearing on the temperature in the Mojave. Similarly, bigotry and hatred on the part of some muslims doesn't cancel, diminish, or otherwise affect those same characteristics in you. You hate muslims and would prefer they be eradicated, and (again, oddly enough) you think they are the crazy ones. We get it. Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

winsor 236 #67 February 5, 2011 Quote>As a responsible firearms owner, I object to such conduct. It's childish and dangerous. Yes, it is. A gun ban would be a start; after all, by banning the item in question (burkas, guns) the problem goes away. Worked great for alcohol and cocaine.
