I'd be in favor of religious people having no special rights or restrictions when it comes to dress code. With masks, either individuals have a right to wear masks or they don't depending on local laws. There are obvious reasons for this, it makes people hard to identify if the commit crimes, and getting away with illegal stuff is very often the reason to wear a mask in first place. That's why the klan do it after all, they're just Christians. Determining if adult mask wearing should be legal is a hard question, but not for religious reasons.

Wearing a hat or a scarf is a completely different matter. Absolutely no one that I have ever heard of objects to secular scarf wearing. It's completely appropriate granny wear. It would be bigoted to start objecting only if it's a religious symbol. Such people would have to object to all religious dress and jewelry to be intellectually consistent.

The only good objection I've ever heard is that maybe you shouldn't obscure your peripheral vision while driving. There, public safety might outweigh the right to dress how you want. It all depends on how big the effect is.

this proves that wearing a long scarf while doing stuff is is semi-retarded.

Yup, I have fond memories of -45°c to -30°c
I've frozen the moisture in my eyes, glues my nostrils together and grown an icicle beard from my breath and nose many a time.

I remember back in high school when they shut down the schools because it was too cold. knowing this, my boss called and asked if I wanted to work for the day. I said yes, but had no transportation. I walked the 5km into town in -37°c. When I got there, I had icicles on my face, my scarf was frozen solid from breathing through it, and my eyebrows were frozen to my toque. It took me an hour to thaw out before I could even start working. After which, my boss said, I should have just said something and he would have just whipped over and picked my up.
Ah to be young, stupid and stuborn

Plural of roof is roofs, not rooves


While true, it is a strange and illogical part of the language as it stands today. We pretty much pluralize every other word ending in "fs" to "ves". Dwarf/dwarves, staff/staves, scarf/scarves, life/lives, hoof/hooves, half/halves, calf/calves, and on and on. It's easier to enunciate this way. If enough people agree and use rooves, it will eventually be legitimized by dictionaries.

It all depends on the performance of that suction cup, I suppose.

It reminds me of the Muslim women who go in head scarfs around here--they can tuck a cell phone against one ear under the scarf and it sits tight. It works pretty much the same as this guy's idea.

thanks!

I'm very, very impressed by the choreography and the planning that went into it.

[edit] And here's the making-of blog post: http://www.wendyslookbook.com/2011/04/behind-the-scenes-25-ways-to-wear-a-scarf/

I'm glad to know that this information is here. But I found myself skeeved out by the fussiness of getting the scarf EXACTLY RIGHT. I lasted 52 seconds before I had to stop watching.

I have low tolerance for fashion.

But it is winter time. I am wearing scarves again for warmth. I think I'll work my way through these different choices over the next few weeks.

One tie at a time. But to watch it all at once? I can't. I just can't.

FOR A FUCKING IRONIC SCARF? JESUS.

If you tie a scarf around a cat's fat middle, the same thing happens.
Yes, I tease my pets.

Via Dangerous Minds' review of the new DSotM box set, replete with marbles, scarf, and a fucking coaster!

take all news channels with a grain of salt, because they all either have corporate interests or personal interests involved...

its better to be informed, and that means taking in different viewpoints, and drawing one's own conclusions...

but to say RT is any worse than FOX, MSNBC, CNN, BBC, Al Jazeera, etc... is wrong and naive
better to take homegrown propaganda and scarf it down I guess... right?

better to shop around

Do you realize how fucking hot it is in the desert? You'd wear as scarf too.
