Participant[quote=briansd1]I don’t see how wearing the burqa affects anyone but the wearer.[/quote]
Unless they insist on wearing it when their driver’s license picture is taken…with everything except the eyes covered. It’s already happened here.
My bank makes me take off my hat and sunglasses when I come through the front door so they can recognize me if I try and rob the place. Why should someone wearing a burqa be treated differently?

ParticipantMaking $100k in San Diego (or pretty much anywhere in southern california) does not qualify as ‘rich’. Maybe to you…but I’d be willing to bet that your opinion would change if that was your income and you weren’t a ‘poor grad student’.
It’s easy to see the grass as greener on the other side; “if I was only making $100k I’d be living the easy life.” Riiiigghhhtt.
Talk to most people making this much and they will tell you that they are still shopping at WalMart and Old Navy and eating at Sizzler. I know that I am.

ParticipantRight…
I love how the ‘respect our culture’ thing only usually works one way.
If I go to saudi arabia I can’t drink, among many other things, and women are ‘encouraged’ to dress appropriately and wear head coverings. You are in their country so you respect their traditions even though you may think they are silly and backwards.
However, when they come to western countries they immediately expect us to change our customs and laws to conform to their cultural norms. Huh?!
France is learning a tough lesson. Their decades of welcoming all these people with open arms is crushing their country. We’d be wise to learn a few lessons from their experience.

July 12, 2010 at 11:00 AM in reply to: OT: Anyone doing vegtable gardens… what’s in your garden. #577682Participant[quote=briansd1]I’m going to buy a composting bin from Amazon as a gift for a friend.
Any suggestions?

I have a couple of bio-stack composters. You can get them from a couple places in SD or online. The stacking frames just snap together.
