We try but we're facing the same horde of angry assholes you are. And no help from the pulpit. We're a pretty small minority.

Beat me to it

"Excuse me, I am not FRENCH, I am BELGIAN" --David Suchet, an English actor playing a Belgian detective upset at being called French for international audiences

Beginning of the end? Where's my popcorn

I care! But I really have no intent of finding out how through small talk, fuck that. Exist by me for a bit and let's do stuff. Build some light connection and complain/vent a bit when we're comfortable

Easy for me to think that he could have just brandished the gun to get the guy to back off. But I'm not in his shoes, I'm just some guy on his phone, I don't envy him having to deal with that scenario and could totally see anyone making the wrong decision there

Spoiled brat and his cadre need to show how angry they are at that "woke culture"

Buncha snowflakes

Social media was fun until my family joined and scrutinized my posts, and then I lost all my friends

So violate their faith for school? That's not an ideal solution

Fuck you Vivek, you fawning douchebag

Is there no remotely sane candidate in the Republican party? It's not even a matter of supporting bad policies anymore, they have literally lost their minds and betray the very values this country is supposed to stand for

So what is the solution for religious families then? Are they forced to private institutions/homeschool?

France may be good for not respecting a religion and disallowing abuse of religious systems that would attack the freedom of non-religious/minority-religious citizens, but are going to the opposite side of this problem. Abayas don't hurt anyone and, from what I can tell/correct me if wrong, are used as a religious observation. France is going out of their way to impose restrictions on elements that are generally harmless that these people may see as a religious necessity, attacking the freedom of religious citizens. There has to be a balance and they're off on the other arc of the pendulum swing here.
