Driving Is A Privilege
 

Some people are real pieces of work. An article in the sun about wearing your hat to take photo ID for drivers licence. People think it is there God given right to drive when in reality it is a privilege. There is absolutely no respect in today's society. Guy goes in to renew his drivers licence, but first has to pay all his un payed fines first then thinks he should be allowed to wear his cap for drivers licence ID. Shame on the paper for making this a front page issue, and giving the loser his 5mins. of fame.

Yet if he was a Sikh, or was wearing a veil he would have been allowed to have his licence picture taken. So why not with his cap on?
If your too short sighted to see that this is front page news because it highlights the double standard that is in effect in these politically correct times.

Shame on our silly rules and exclusions.

Good point
 

Was this a 'cap'... Or a nice good ole boy Stetson?... It does make a difference...:thinking-006:

He claims his cap is tied to a religious belief, how does this differ from other headgear with religious connections?

I'd like OP to explain how wearing a hat is disrespectful.

And the guy in the story never once mentioned that driving is a right. And the story isn't about whether or not driving is a right or a privilege. He does make a valid point that there are ways to significantly alter your appearance from your photo and that these are considered acceptable.

I like the Collandar guy in BC better...A true pastafarian and member of The Church of Flying Spaghetti Monster.

So my great,great grandfather came up to Alberta from the states in a cowboy hat. My family has been wearing them since the white man came to NA. Is this not my heritage and religion. When and where did someone else's religion and heritage" garments" start that must be recognized? And why is mine not? (right to keep on my head) Hope the hockey hat guy blows it out of the water.

You beat me to it. Was looking to find this exact thing.
A question I find myself asking myself and more these days is there even a line that exists anymore? We have effectively questioned it and pushed it out of present societies existence at this point. Or at least past my point of comprehension now.
I appreciate you don't approve of what happened, much like I can't stand those that wear caps in restaurants but I see it all the time these days. Doesn't harm anyone I suppose, only my simple understanding of respect as I was taught. So I'm left questioning my understanding of how we will define what the line is and where it belongs.

WRONG! Nowhere does he mention that driving is his right and if you can't see this for what it is, a protest, then you truly are short-sighted. It's pretty obvious that he is making a statement about the double standards in this country that allow for face coverings ( which are not part of the religion by the way, it is purely cultural) and the supposed separation between church and state. Oh, and what does "respect" have to do with anything here?????

What denomination are you that requires you wear a broad brimmed hat?

Is full face covering truly a religion thing or just a heritage garment? You might have me there. I still believe a law of a land should be for all to follow.

CowPok >>> adores cows and rodeOs , wears hat 24/7/365 , unless knocked off in bucking contest or barroom brawl .or other blasphemies activity

No Hat, No Picture

Orthodox Jew perhaps? Many Jews wear the yamulka to profess their faith. Just check out the Reichman family.

Hey elk, yep except to old for the first 2 anymore, but still trying to hand on to the blasphemies activities when possible.

Law
 

One blanket law in Canada to follow on this issue !!!!!

The trouble with k'boy hats and heejabs is , all k'boys don't look the same , but heejabs ? That's another story ! they all DO look the same ,, ar,ar ,ar :sHa_sarcasticlol:

Uh doubt that his Great Great Grandaddy that come up fro the states wearing a cowboy hat was an othrodox Jew!!:sHa_sarcasticlol:

I can see it now when I think of , "The Frisco Kid " Gene Wilder

I was thinking of that movie as well hilarious!!:sHa_sarcasticlol:

Cow Poke? That`s what we used to call the Vet who came out to A.I. our milk cow. Dad even drove a 10 inch spike in the fencepost, told him it was to hang his pants on. The Vet laughed.

Hats
 

Makes me think of all the red neck hillbillies, wandering to restaurants with their hats on. No one has any respect any more.

You ever watched how many Buffalo Wings they can stuff in a k"boy hat ??

Pay attention next time your in a buffet ! :test:

Political correctness gone wild.

X2

Since there are more exceptions to the rule than i can shake a stick at I will support those who troll the system, be it colander or skiing helmet.

How simple can it be? You want the government identification - you can't have the head gear. Period.

I didn't say he mentioned it was a right. That was my opinion. Minorities have more right's than the majorities. How is wearing a ball cap a religious belief. It's like when you go to a sporting venue and watch how many people don't remove there hats when the national anthem is played.

At one time, there were Hutterites bitching about having their pictures taken for their drivers license. One rule for all, no Exceptions.

Grizz

or wear a hat inside while eating... I don't know why but that irks me. You always take your hat off when you sit down for dinner.

Ya cause it's the same thing. One being humble to god, one being the promotion of equality in the eyes' of God and the other wanting to wear a baseball cap.
