To Hijab or not to Hijab

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

This statement is false.

Give me an example of a non criminal walking down a street with their face covered - excluding people adhering to a Middle Eastern culture, naturally, and those wearing protective equipment.

I'm really quite surprised you're arguing this given that the social more is very clear, an uncovered face.

Jesus man. It's my goddamn face. If I wanna cover it with rags, it's my right to do so. If those rags offend you, you are free to shun me.

If you come up to me with a rag tied across your mouth and we're not in a sewer I'll ask you to remove it, if you refuse you're being rude - that's the established social convention.

We're special.

Actually, things are becoming tamer and tamer by the year. Police brutality? That's nothing new. What is new, is that everyone has a smartphone these days, thus more bad cops get caught in action.

This is not comforting.

Doesn't sound very free. There will always be exceptions to this and people who will do it, so might as well not restrict it. What if you're a leper, or want to cover up any std symptoms you ashamed of? Or got punk'd in party the night before with a permanent marker'd penis on your forehead you deserve to get out with part of your face covered. Rihanna covered her entire face after she got beat up, not just with sunglasses.

My dear man, this is England, we have no "freedom" here, we live by the whim of a theocratically sanctioned absolute monarch who, in her benevolence allows us to practice democracy.

Only Romans are above criticism. Ave Caesar!

Oh no, the Welsh still hate the Romans too - but the Romans left (according to the Welsh).
