Women banned from wearing trousers in Paris - Telegraph

Lighthouse77 · 11-17-2009, 09:31 PM

well, isn't paris more like fashion police than anything else like religion?

**Bottesini** · 11-17-2009, 09:31 PM

There are a lot of old laws on the books here too that are never enforced.

souggy · 11-17-2009, 09:35 PM

Look like we're going to have to send back the Statue of Liberty. We don't want any products of Communism here.

need help to figure it out?

Pick up a book. I recommend Douglas Adams... if that's too hard to understand, maybe Roald Dahl. I hear "James and the Giant Peach" is a good book; you can even pick up a movie version of it if you want...

Which participant in this thread are you implying can not read at an adult level?

Deaf people don't usually do that kind of thing.

Even if we disagree with them, they are still deaf adults.

We had that one hearing woman for a while who kept insulting the level of literacy of deaf. She hasn't been around for a while.

souggy · 11-17-2009, 10:18 PM

Who said it was an anti-Deaf thing.

A lot of English BA can't even read Douglas Adams because it's too "out there" for them. Got nothing to do with literacy.

No it is insulting literacy of our members in that particular post. It is not done here.

I will just bring this down here again to make sure we see and understand.

It isn't funny.

It makes me cringe that a deaf person would throw that type of insult about.

As for Doug Adams, I keep meaning to read him but never got around to it.

Hitchhiker's Guides ? I never read those either. I think a new posthumous collection is supposed to be coming out.

offtopic, but James and the Giant peach is the most boring story I ever read. And the movie is worst.

People think the same thing about Douglas Adams too, yet they like Roald Dahl more tham him. Same thing apply to Terry Pratchett. People either love or hate those books depending on their personal taste.

sara1981 · 11-17-2009, 10:58 PM

mostly european people known as laws wores clothes all the times as codes but this not fashion emergency!!

im sure stars,Royals in european always right clothes for gala,wedding,WAG for women only who married to rugby stars and lots of mores in occasion..

Royals have rightsful to dressup for occasion at
Wedding
gala banquet for state visit -between USA and another countries connection to UK but HM Queen always mostly visit numerous times Canada,New Zealand and Australia also
Trooping Color due occasion of HM Queen Elizabeth II's birthday parade but her real birthday is April
Ascot Races -That Royals went there every years and expect movie stars also
Chelsea Flower Show - that Royals went there every years and expect movie stars and sniff the flowers as favourite signatures chose.

The Highlander · 11-17-2009, 11:10 PM

No wonder French hate American.

Vis · 11-17-2009, 11:22 PM

that's strange legislation... since they don't want women to dress like men, does it also apply for tourists?

It's an old law from 1800. It is not enforced. They don't care what you wear.

Lighthouse77 · 11-17-2009, 11:31 PM

yeah.

it's still illegal to live with your boyfriend according to an old law here

Perhaps but the article is implying otherwise... Since it is still technically law, it may be possible for one to bring a law suit for not removing the trousers...
