    I can conceive of an individual woman wanting to wear one. However every woman I have known who wears one does because she must if she is to follow her religion and her society’s norms and her family’s dictates which would indicate that she doesn’t actually have the choice not to. I tend to believe that Muslim woman have a choice when they choose not to wear one because they often face abuse from other Muslims.

    Again with the arguement about women’s rights for women who represent a religion that doens’t believe in women’s rights. In fact, the more women in a country that have the ‘right’ to wear Muslim head coverings, the more likely they do not have the right not to wear them or any other human rights for that matter. Which may be why ‘Western’ women are against those religious symbols in countries that have at least some progress on women’s rights. I would rather some women cannot wear head coverings than for all women to become citizens without any rights like they are in many Muslim countries. I would ban each and every religious symbol in public places. Almost every war on the planet was/is propagated by using religion to recruit its supporters and soldiers.









  • When I read studies like this, I wonder what variables they aren’t including. What else causes impaired blood flow in the brain? Anything? If anything else does, it is affected by consuming alcohol? Does alcohol impare flow more or less than the other thing(s)? For example if extreme stress impared blood flow but alcohol decreased the stress and then impared blood flow but impared it less than the stress did, alcohol would be a positive, but if it aded to the impairment, it would be a negative. Ancedotally I know plenty of people, now in their late 80s and 90s who have drank moderately and it doesn’t seem to have caused them any significant issues. I also know teatotallers that haven’t made it to age 65 without the beginning of dementia type deficits.
