[quote=sd_matt]…..or how bout a merger of Western and Sharia ideas. Pantyhose over the head.

Regarding rednecks; I think the strict Muslims are just extreme versions of good ole boys. They both need someone to be above, to step on. So I find it very ironic and contradictory that the Libs take the side of the Middle East and yet try very actively to “progress” the United States. Which is it? Conservative or Liberal? Pick one and stick to it across the board.

Back to the subject at hand regarding France

It sounds like backlash to me.[/quote]

A few questions on this comment.

Who is it exactly the Muslims are trying to be above? And what is the manifestation of that? I don’t see religious tradition as “being above”.

How do liberals “take the side” of the Middle East? And what exactly is the contradiction that you believe you’ve identified?

Last time I looked, France was in Europe. There are around 1.5 billion Muslims in the world, the majority are not in the Middle East. So what does this have to do with the Middle East?

I love this paragraph

[quote=UCGal]For the comments about visitors to other countries having to follow the religious laws of that country… Yes, if those countries are theocracies. Visiting another country is a choice. We live in a country that has a secular government, specifically allowing freedom or religion. That is one of the things that truly makes this country great. No imposition of a specific religion, no ban of a religion.[/quote]

With all the horrendous religious restrictions some countries place on their residents and visitors, I find it hard to get all worked up about this. Compared to strict theocracies, this is pretty minor. It seems a bit of an oddity, considering the lack of religion in France, or maybe not. Maybe it’s the anti-religion activists. A bit of anti-relgion theocracy. I don’t know enough about French politics to even have a clue.

If it was this country, I’d get worked up about it.

“Gold pays no interest”

That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. Gold does not need to pay interest, it retains its value over time.

A dollar in 1908 will buy you what 50.00 today will buy you. Dollars pay interest only to make up for the erosion of its value.

[/quote]

I don’t follow gold much. But that bolded sentence is much more absurd than the one you identified as stupid.

I just bought 4 Magellan Maestro 4370’s for my guys in the field. I was tired of paying extra for rental cars with GPS’s. Refurbished, they were $113, no sales tax and free shipping from Amazon. A lower end model, so it may not have all the bells and whistles some have. I just took a quick look at them so can only report what my guys had to say. 3 of the 4 worked flawlessly. Easy to figure out how to use and got my guys all around the Phoenix area for 5 weeks without problems. The 4th one tended to freeze up 1/2 a mile from the destination, so I returned it for a replacement unit. So far havent had any complaints about it.

My wife has been using a Magellan 4050 for about 3 years and loves it. Got me all over new england a couple summers ago. Other than confusion when I took the ferry from Long Island to CT, we became very good friends.
