If the intent is to be mischievous or to cause trouble then yes (but even that has to be proven). Of course private property is a different story.. like walking into a bank with said mask on.Spearhead wrote:
Cant remember where I read it... maybe its a state law or just a city thing but somewhere I heard that if you wear any kind of mask (at least in areas where theres a lot of people) you'd get in troubleKmarion wrote:
questioned probably... arrested or fined probably not. Unless there was intent to cause social unrest or chaos.Spearhead wrote:
If I went downtown wearing the same thing the woman in the OP was wearing most likely I'd be arrested or fined or at least question by someone in law enforcement
Its a security risk, at least here in the US... who knows what you could be packing by wearing shit like that
I used to airsoft with some people... so we were always on the lookout for that kinda info (for safety and watnot)
Again private property.. banks can and do ban people from wearing sunglasses and hats as well.imortal wrote:
Okay, I can see it now. An all-female team of bank robbers, dressed in Burgas, with gloves and sunglasses. Seems like a perfect outfit, and you can't start asking about Muslim women, because that would be 'profiling.'
I do not understand your first point. Have you not seen the signs to remove hats and sunglasses?imortal wrote:
Okay, first. I was talking about here in the states. If you walk in the door (even in a burga) waving a gun, the teller is not going to ask you to take off your sunglasses.
Second. Okay, leave off the sunglasses, just wear colored contacts. After all, the eyes are about all they will see, right?
They don't have those signs here in Texas- not that I have seen. I guess our hats and shades are more accepted here.Kmarion wrote:

Sunglasses hide more than eye color. Brow line and eye shape is a distinguishing characteristic.. possibly more so than eye color.

You are correct that there is more to the eye area than just color. However, if you make something very noticeable, say for example cat iris contacts, the natural human reaction is to focus on the most obvious characteristic, tending often to over-emphasize it to the exclusion of other details.
Oh, and this is getting to be a much too serious discussion for what was supposed to be a humorous suggestion.
lol.. sorry there is no way for me to take this seriously. My point was the legality of asking customers what to wear (or not wear).You are correct that there is more to the eye area than just color. However, if you make something very noticeable, say for example cat iris contacts, the natural human reaction is to focus on the most obvious characteristic, tending often to over-emphasize it to the exclusion of other details.

Well, if you're not making that equivalence, then surely you can see that what France is doing is nowhere near as bad as what countries like Iran and Saudi Arabia do.Beduin wrote:

The way makes all the difference. The ends do not justify the means, and by the same token, identical ends do not render means identical or morally equivalent.Beduin wrote:

Whelp, clearly you've done your research.. although this age fascination is borderline stalking. I once heard Texans top out at like age 14 intellectually anyways. 3 years between you and I. I quite like the idea of being consider a youngster. More please.imortal wrote:

No, it isn't stalking until I have tracked down your parents and interviewed them to find your most embarrasing adolesclent stories. However, my plane for Florida leaves in... a little bit. Besides, my maturity level maxed out around 19 (I am not a natural born Texan; I was born in Florida.Kmarion wrote:
