While we're at it, I think ZZ Top should be banned also.
Who knows what's hiding in those beards.
And come to think of it.....
how do we know they're really ZZ Top?
Has anyone ever actually seen them without the beards and glasses?
This is an example of why i find them intimidating.
Its my opinion.
Im sure there will be those who will disagree with my opinion but disagree all you like, it wont change my opinion
At the kindy the other day i arrived at the same time as a woman wearing a niqab.
I opened the door and held it open for her. Then, as we both got to the sign in book at the same time, i said "You can go first" and smiled. She just stood there.
She said something but it was muffled by the niqab. She looked at me but i have no idea what expression she had. So we both stood there at the sign in book.
In the end i shrugged my shoulders and signed the book before her.
Later i heard her talking to the kindy teacher so i know she understood and could speak English.
IMO, facial expressions are a big part of communicating. If i cant see the face i find the situation imtimidating
Im not going to get into a big discussion over it cause honestly, i cant be bothered.
It is one example, one that happened this week so its the ones thats fresh in my mind, and as i said, its my opinion
Julia- you are right. In that example i will change my wording to confronting.
I have also had some intimidating experiences as well though which i would rather not discuss on here.
karli- good question. They do hold morning teas for the the non english speaking mothers

I'm not saying you don't have a right to your opinion daydream**believer......everyone is not only entitled to theirs, but to express them as well. Just as I feel we are all entitled to express ourselves by other means too. Religiously and culturally as well.
Since we get a lot of social cues from other peoples facial expressions, I can understand why you might feel a tad uncomfortable not being able to see someones face. But let me ask you......should your feelings of discomfort outweigh others freedom of choice? Because that's what it really boils down to. And there is always going to be something that makes 'someone else' uncomfortable....so where would it end? Once you start taking rights away from some people, it makes it that much easier to take more later. That's why I believe that everyone's rights should be protected, even if it's something that I may not have chosen for myself. In the end, everyone should be able to live and choose their paths as they see fit, not by how others feel they should live.
