now who's talking shit? you're being obtuse for no legitimate reason.

No, I'm being dead serious. If they're born and raised in Denmark, they're literally acting like people born and raised in Denmark, whether they're forced to cover their face in public or not. What you're suggesting reeks of ethno-nationalism.


You are acting as if being born and raised in Denmark automatically means you are assimilated into Danish culture. That's not something you can just assume. If a Lebanese family moves to China and has kids, and their kids behave a certain way, that doesn't automatically mean the way their kids are behaving is a part of Chinese culture, to give another example. Culture has to do with a lot more than where you happen to be born and raised geographically.

You're acting like Denmark's culture is monolithic, when in fact it is not.

Why are people still arguing against this? They left their country to try and get a better life. Part of that is adapting to your new countries culture and not bringing the culture that made your home country dangerous along. If you dont want a better life, go back home.

There are also women born and brought up in Denmark wearing burqa, though. Not every burqa/niqab wearer is an immigrant.

yeah, their culture is being passed down. that doesn't make it right.

They can't just "go back home". They are home.

home is where the heart is. their heart is in the middle east/india as that is what they live in breath through their actions and beliefs.

Lol, that's bullshit and you know it. They're born and raised in Denmark.

they dont act like people born and raised in denmark.

Her point when she went after her opponent was that the people in her district deserved to know their viewpoints. A debate between people running for the same seat serves that purpose.

A debate with Shapiro on Shapiro's show does not.

The new law bans wearing a burqa, which covers a person's entire face, or the niqab, which only shows the eyes, in public. The law also prohibits accessories that hide the face such as balaclavas, masks and false beards.


This law doesn't unfairly discriminate. It applies to anyone wearing shit that hides their face.

So this isn't a burqa ban, just a ban on things that can make you unidentifiable.

The law was popularly known as a burqa ban, and to pretend that it's anything else is very dishonest.

to pretend it's not anything other than to prevent people from wearing them and committing crimes while hiding their faces is dishonest imo

Well, what crime was the woman in the OP planning to commit?
Besides, Danish right-wing politicians such as Kenneth Kristensen Berth have been intent on banning these particular types of clothing for years. To suddenly pretend that they haven't is dishonest.

You have to be thicker in the head than boogie2988 is in his whole body to think that it means any privately-owned business should allow the most toxic s*** on their platform because "muh censorship"

Not to mention, censorship is when you look at something before it's published and decide to suppress/silence it. What happened to Alex Jones wasn't that. He was allowed to spout his shit, then got his punishment afterwards. That's not censorship by any stretch.

I hate what the new movies did with that line. It didn't make sense because parsecs are a measure of length, not time. The best interpretation of it was that Han was bullshitting to see if Ben caught on (he makes a comment to Chewey after about how they're a couple of rubes they can take easy money off of). But instead they made it canon and constructed a convoluted scenario where the line makes sense again.


Obi Wan even gives Han a "Really? You're trying to BS me with that line?" kind of look too. But they chose to use it in a later movie cause people recognize it and it would "look cool". That's the whole reason for all these new SW movies really.

In the script, Ben's supposed to give Han a look because of what's described as an "obvious lie" or something like that. It wasn't intended to be true. Turns out it is now :)))

I don't think it actually matters because the country isn't going allow ISPs, no matter how big they are, to make the internet worse. But I still favor it.

Alright, nice. Because you seem to be making a case for social media neutrality as well.


Sure. Social media is basically the modern town square. And these companies that have an oligopoly over it shouldn't be able to ban some political discussion and fall back on "but we're private businesses"

BTW, it's not like political tweet comment sections aren't some of the most toxic places on the internet to begin with.

Sure, but there definitely is some speech that isn't allowed in town squares, either. If you don't think Facebook should be policing speech on Facebook, are you instead maybe favoring government ownership of social media?

- It's hypocritical. Liberals tend to think ISPs should be obligated to follow Net Neutrality is based on the principle of freedom of speech. Also the only reason they are OK with say Alex Jones discussion being banned is that they disagree with/don't like Alex Jones.

You know, this is an interesting point. Liberals do think that the internet in 2018 is a fundamental part of our infrastructure, like water, roads, electricity, etc. Well, something like that at least. The way I read your point here is that liberals should classify social media in the same way. You're not really making a convincing argument here, though, but your line of reasoning opens up for the possibility of hypocrisy on the other side as well - if you think Alex Jones should be entitled to a platform on Facebook, shouldn't you similarly favor net neutrality?
