You would think we've all learned our lesson about forcing certain segments of the population to wear yellow thingies on their clothes so we can easily identify them and say "Ewwwwww, you're one ofthosepeople." But in the French city of Marseille, officials forgot history and were condemned to try to repeat it.
I hear ya, the headscarf issue is a complicated and controversial one. It cuts to the very core of what the French believe of what it means to be equal citizens in a secular state. It also comes off as racist and sexist.
When the wingnuts/technocrats get their "guest worker" program here at home, I think it would appropriate if said workers also wore yellow triangles, or maybe two of them, one on top of the other, one pointing up and one pointing down. Also the DREAM Act kids.
How else are we going to be able to tell who's a real American and who isn't?
Silly French people. The homeless could have asked for US assistance and received a telephone de fanaisie royale Obama from the UN. Now with the UN agenda 21 app.
Meh, I can see why it might look that way to an outsider, but I'm not so sure that's entirely true. I live in France and it's still a very liberal place. The EU elections going right was largely a protest vote against the current policies of the reigning Socialists, and most exit poll respondents declared no love for the Front National but were strongly in favor of sending a strong message. Still, the popularity of FN thanks to its anti-immigration platform is disheartening. I suppose in a "down" economy, people like to have scapegoats.

This is a pretty good article illustrating the points of both sides of the issue. <a href="http:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-europe-21997089" target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-21997089">http://www.bbc.com/news/wor...
BTW, I still see women in full burka gear here on occasion, so I&#039;m not sure how frequently enforced the rules really are.
And if they work good and hard they could get a shower.
FTW!
i have made so many homeless friends with obamacare.
this makes me so sad.
...well at least they aren&#039;t arresting people for feeding the homeless.
The French homeless should definitely avoid the delousing showers.
...sounds like a great idea! Next we can round them all up and put them into some kind of &quot;group housing&quot;!!!

Hey, check that out. France does staggeringly oblivious wingnuts almost as well as we do.
Nah, <a href="https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch\?v=WZ3AOmZ2fps" target="_blank">they already have those</a>
Crack out the Vichy Water.
