Is it right for countries to ban the Islamic burqa? [ENDS 01/08/2010]

the government is going to do what they always have, doing what they think is logical, fair, and right. the way a democratic republic works is that we choose our leaders by majority rules, and assume responsibility to them to choose whats right. sometimes "the majority" is wrong on the issues, and the government can recognize that. if we had a full democracy where citizens voted on absolutely every issue, then we wouldn't have leaders representing us. democracy with representatives works to prevent things like burqa-banning from happening. if the government worked where the majority of the population always got their way, a representative democracy would be pointless.



my b i agree with this i mustve read it too fast lol.

I agree with you about how a hierarchy style of governing proves best to assure the best interest of the nation--not the popular vote--is always pursued.

However when it comes to the Burqa banning I'm inclined to disagree. Due to the cultural representation of the Burqa I think it should be banned. In recognition of morals our society has discovered over the past half century the Burqa in comparison the sort of ethics in which we wish to influence is simply appalling.

On what's more of a layman's terms note, I don't care to which religion or culture you belong, in my opinion the fact that they're still following through with keeping up their sexist triggered ideology in form of the Burqa and through other aspects of their every day lives is stupid.
