Uh, don't most muslim nations FORBID women to operate motor vehicles?

Same thought here, Unbeliever.

How about giving the option of a thumbprint? That a form of ID where she can wear her burqa.

I thought about that, but my point remains -- are you also giving ME the option of a thumbprint? And, will a thumbprint from her be acceptable instead of a mug shot if arrested? And, do I get to bypass the mug shots too?

Unless you are going to do this for EVERYEONE please do NOT do it JUST for her and those like her. Many people in this country would LOVE a little more privacy, and if you are allowing her to give thumbprints instead of full face photos, then, I WANT THAT RIGHT TOO.

Re your post #220 -- I think we should mark our calendars for that.

Perhapes this creature does not belong in civilized society. She could move to Arabia, and get a camel driving license which does not require a picture,

Can I be your first convert?

LOL! ROFL! Now there's a real lawyer liberal! The plain words don't mean what they say!

[anton]

Can't blame them though since most Muslim women look like a cross between a camel and the back of a police dog.

I'm in too! When do we celebrate the Feast of Maximum Occupancy?

I believe you are referring to one of the movable feasts. That is right after Frank Costanza's Festivus this year.

My ambivalence towards muslims has turned to total disgust.

Same here.

In my home state, driving is considered a privilege, not a right.

I imagine most others are like that. Your license can be revoked or not granted if you refuse to meet the requirements.

I'm *very* tired of hearing their 'poor me' routine. waa waa waa...if you don't love America then leave. Sheesh!

SubGenius is the way to go. Most of the morality laws impinge on the religion. And it's already fairly well established (almost 30 years old now).

What are the laws like in FL? In AZ driving is classified a priviledge not a right, so if they run into something like this they can just tell the person to go away. If FL is setup that way that's the best defense "you don't have to drive, bye bye".

Hmm, I say no driver license, but give her a license to ride a camel..

Best idea yet -- fair and sensitive to her Islamic religion, and she can't complaint she has no means of private transportation. Now, if Mayor Hood in Orlando would just start building camel paths instead of bike paths, we'd have this all wrapped up.

Driving is a privilege. She can go back to her country and get a license to drive a camel. I digress, she has no rights in her country, that is why she is here taking advantage of our system.

Forget leather, go with latex -- looks better and feels better. Or so I've heard.

Gotta say no . . . leather is IT! It molds to you after a few wearings so well that no one else can wear your piece (I offer my corset as Exhibit A). Plus, it doesn't stick to you like latex does, and that's a definite consideration down here in 100-degree, 90%-humidity Houston.

Yes, bwteim, I nominate you to keep track of all holiday matters as we establish this new religion. Also, I could use some approriate Festivus recipes for main dishes and desserts, if we are going to celebrate this year together, buffet-style. Let me know.
