Kevin Bacon Quotes
I think there is a puritanical wind that is blowing. I have never seen such a lack of separation between church and state in America, I don’t believe in God, but if I did I would say that sex is a Godgiven right. Otherwise it’s the end of our species.

There are fundamentalist Muslim nations and subunits throughout the world, which make it a criminal offense for a women to exercise what, in the West and according to the UN International Charter of Human rights, are her legitimate rights. The punishments in some of these communities are very brutal and barbaric. Under Canadian law and policy a person who is in fear for their safety and/or life because they are exercising a fundamental right are eligible for political asylum and immigration status in Canada. Mayfield and a few other conservative Canadian legislators do not see the issue of women’s required dress as being in the same category of freedom of speech, criticism of the government, or the practice of one’s chosen religion. The same people generally favor more restrictions on immigration anyway, and they would not give Canadian asylum to women so aggrieved. Those legislators seem all to be men. The women in Parliament and the majority of the men do not agree, have maintained the right of women to seek asylum for these reasons.
Erdogan, though a very successful politician, was not a very sophisticated or well educated man. He appealed to the poorer, more Islamic, poorly educated, rural population, and while this statement, among others, made him a laughing stock and disgrace to more sophisticated Turks and to most of the industrialized world. While many people tend to believe that modern TC programming weakens traditional morals and norms, the thought that TV could induce nymphomania, is itself laughable. And to argue that girls should not laugh in public is extreme, even for most Muslims of the world.
