Care to share a link about that, wes?

Oh, that's right, you can't, because that isn't what happened.

yes, it was couched in the language of negative body imaging that would shame poor weak women, I know, but that is bullshit.

it was done because muslims were spray painting the images and now they are being allowed to impose their religious views on others.

post your own slanted link if you wish, I prefer the people to think for themselves, while you think most people are too stupid to think for themselves in a rational way...., except you, you are better.

and by the way, we are all gay today. even the most ardent conservatives. if I had a rainbow flag I d be flying it.

suck one for America!!!!! :D

Come on wes, Scooter's post which presented the mayor's reasoning makes a lot more sense than the unsupported statement you make about that being "bullshit". Even if some moslems were spray painting some of the ads (and there is no news report saying that was the case), the concern about negative body image is a recognized concern that has been raised in many countries.

I don't necessarily agree with what the mayor has proposed (anymore than I agreed with NYC mayors seeking to prevent large sodas from being sold), but I hardly see this as an attempt to impose a conservative and minority Islamic religious view on non moslems.

Best be flying an American flag today also (above it as per procedure). It is Flag Day after all.

Evidence?

Of course not, because you know that if such a thing had happened it would have been widely reported.
post your own slanted link if you wish
Ah yes, the Chicago Tribune, well know for being a mouthpiece of Islam.
I prefer the people to think for themselves
Then why is it that you only ever post the conclusion you want people to believe, and never the evidence that they could use to decide for themselves?
and by the way, we are all gay today.

I was thinking along those same lines.  If I was gay (or bi) and the only available option was wesw, I think I'd ask someone to make me a eunuch instead.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

Ah, Flag Day - remember to fly them half staff to commemorate the latest mass shooting.

Can someone explain to me what is "unhealthy" about that image?

Looks to me like this is more about PC BS than about "Sharia"...

If it was about "Sharia Law", the mayor would have wanted the woman in the picture to be put to death for not wearing a hijab.

We've lowered the flag so often lately to honor the victims of mass shootings and other national tragedies that one could be forgiven for thinking that the normal position is half-staff.

hey RR, i ve been meaning to get back to you but the garden and replacing the deck boards on the back porch have been keeping me busy...

you may be right , but there was at least one news story about it...., i didn t just make it up...

i heard about the spray painting from Stuart Varney on Fox or Fox Business . he said that he saw it for himself, but that you don t see THAT on network news....

i was able to find something similar about NYC and the Burka Boys painting painted ladies that appeared on transit ads....

if you recall, i have mentioned the difficulty of finding certain things on youtube and google, things that negatively effect the validity of the lefts positions and things that make HRC look bad. those things can be impossible to find.

i believe that the recent reported on the slanting of various social media outlets has verified my "wacky" theories to some extent.

...yeah, maybe i shoulda gone easy on the "bullshit" call..., but i did try to make him laugh too...

"suck one for America!!!"

come on..., that s funny!!!

i m tired of fighting with other americans...

...oh wait..., HE S CANADIAN!!!!

:D

oldr....., the American flag is always flying here!

i even have the pallet flag, that someone made me,.... out by the shed
