liz ...i wish.
it would be worth a few bob i tell ya.lolol.xx

Pusser, I like dogs too!
But I suppose when you get a very happy looking dog and the caption 'Emily enjoys fun times with Fido', or 'Fido's favourite place is Emily's bed' - and the rest of the photo is removed - it may make you think!! LOL
Shamaal the Saluki had a fluffy tail, and fluffy ears.

Bet he looks sexy - perhaps we could have a photo!

It's okay, Liz 47.

I already know a little basic respect is too much to expect hereabouts.


Oh, btw, I don't know what odd bit of Canada that son lives in. We post speed limits in km/h, and highway speed limits of 100 km/h work out to 62.5 mph ... not that anybody else pays any attention to them, me included ...

And a burka when I go to buy a train ticket, just for the hell of it. It's just an experiment in what it's like to feel repressed and subjugated.

It's like living inside a post box, to be honest.

ah but liz each country have there own rules lolol xx
cant help but laugh now.the main question was do we agree or disagree about the removal of burkas.
weve gone full circle loads of valid points .but alas.........i still aint changed me mind.i think they should go.


and eldricks admitted to wearing thigh boots.

JC - In England we historically drive on the left hand side of the road, in order to protect our womenfolk. Currently the maximum speed limit is 70 mph.
Our eldest son, living in Canada, abides by your rules of driving on the right, and not exceeding 50 mph.
If we follow your contention he should be able to drive at 70 mph on the left hand side of the road, as it is his heritage.

Just gotta say how I love seeing Syria offered up as an example to us all.

Googling will find lots more, but you can always start here:

Shall we start torturing people in prison now too?

eldrick as you know the boots do it for me ...[winks]

I used to have my chair legs covered up, but rebelled and instead they are now in black leather thigh length boots, just to show that I am not stigmatising chair legs as unsavoury objects. I think it's a good idea but it can be embarrassing buying them. Thank god for mail order via the internet.

also just to clarify this.i hate any kind of racist stuff ,its about what i see as fair.i have friends in different countries ,and love to learn about there way of life .i just feel to make all even if everyone is treated the same theres no problems.no matter what it is.

lmao @ eldrick .[you read my mind.lol]

still feel the same ive not changed me mind.

i likes dogs theys haves big bushy tails xx

Maggie,

Very westernised......he was called just Faisel.}but his life was mapped out with tradition.

well I have to say that without a doubt, Janey is the most eloquent person I have ever encountered - anywhere - not just on these boards. I was going to say you should be a politician Janey but that would be an insult given the way they act these days - over here anyway.

I do not like the face covered with a veil and never will but you have persuaded me not to be quite so judgemental

Women should be free to dress how they please - Not how they are ordered to dress by a repressive patriarchal religion founded by nomadic goat herders 1500 years ago, that regards all women as no better than property!

Ban all religions-that would solve most world problems!

great debate joy xxx

Janey I quote you:
' So Faisel's thoughts, or the lovely get-up you were in when you went to have tea with him, or any other way you can think of working your intimate friendship with the dear man into this conversation, are of no relevance whatsoever.'

I find that deeply offensive, I said we chatted - am I to presume (as you have done in many replies) that, as far as you're concerned, if anyone chats with someone, some sort of intimacy is/should be involved?

I merely pointed out that I wore jeans in reply to a previous diatribe by yourself.

Strikes me that, in your world politeness in conversation means nothing of any value can be obtained, unless everything is written down in triplicate and a signed statement is taken.

BREAKING NEWS!!!
Syria (92.2% Moslem) has banned the Niqab(Burqa) in public universities. The ban - (and wait for this) 'aims to protect Syria's secular identity'

Full story here:

Worth a read - the reasons women give for wearing the Niqab are varied.

Women in burqas HAVE COMMITTED NO CRIMES in
England.

OHHH yes they have ,
St John's market Liverpool , ( last year )



I can only assume they are women ,
