Big fight going on in GD. Head scarves. I was wondering

[CTyankee]

when the next flamewar would erupt over there.

I didn't see any other flamewars. Things must be kinda quiet in that kingdom (er, queendom, er,province).

1. some days, DU can't be beat for pure comedy.

:rofl:

[deepthought42]

2. For the love of the Flying Spaghetti Monster!

head scarves of all things. :crazy:

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

3. It'd be a funny thread...

if it weren't for the islamophobia.

[CTyankee]

5. Yep, someone was actually accused of having rocks in their

head. I haven't heard that epithet in years!

[realisticphish]

7. they're going to start calling each other

dingbats, now.

[KitchenWitch]

17. LOL

WillPitt was once accused of having bees in his head.

:rofl:

[LostinVA]

4. I saw that -- I am soooo staying out of there

[Omphaloskepsis]

6. A certain subset of the population needs outrage 24/7....

My sister would fit into that group... I don't give a fuck about super stupid shit.


OMFG GOOGLE

14. DAMNIT YOU HAVE A F*****G PROBLEM WITH THAT LOSER!!!

Whoops sorry, just kinda reactionary

[trof]

8. Doesn't Catholic church require head covering for females?

???

[Bunny]

9. They used to.

Way back in the day when I was a kid, we used to have to wear a little lace doily-type thing bobby-pinned to our heads. I think they got away from that with Vatican II, although I do believe that women are still required to wear some type of head covering if they're in the Vatican.

Don't Jewish men have to wear a yarmulke when they're in the synagogue?

[ChickMagic]

10. I used to have to wear a mantilla

Back in the olden days, women would often wear head scarves to
keep their hair from getting messed up. It was unusual to see
a woman without one. Until JFK, men always wore hats in public.

11. Not just in synagogue, and not just Jewish men...

Jewish men also wear them during any religious ceremony, no matter where the ceremony may be (for example, in one's home during Passover).

Also, even if you're not Jewish, you're generally expected to wear one at a Jewish wedding ceremony. You can refuse to, but it's kind of an asshole thing to do.

[SteppingRazor]

12. Not in my lifetime.

Growing up Catholic, a lot of the little old ladies at church still always wore a hat to church, but it was generally something only practiced by the 60-and-over crowd

[KitchenWitch]

18. And in the UK the women still wear hats to church.

13. There's another cat food flame war over in GD

why it's in GD or that people are having flame wars about cat food is beyond me

[Deep13]

15. Proposed lounge flamewar: IHOP vs. Waffle House. nt

[Chan790]

16. IHOP!

It's international...

OTOH Waffle House is just a place to hang out and eat grits and pig parts. Waitresses at Waffle House write "God Bless" on your check*. Ronald Reagan liked Waffle House**. It must be eeeevvilll (with 4 e's, 2 v's, 1 i, and 3 l's.)

Citations:
* - It happened to me at a Waffle House in NC in 1987 ergo it must be universally true.
** - I have no idea whether or not Reagan liked Waffle House. This statement is not backed up with any proof whatsoever.

This post is not for real. I'm making fun of flame wars and the people who intentionally seek them out to jump into and name-call.

[LSK]

19. this is still going on?

:shrug:

[KitchenWitch]

20. Hey, my chronic pain condition is flaring up - I could use a good flamefest

to vent my ire.

Short Fuse R Me!
