Sad. Incredibly sad. I know that in some states the utility must pay you if you put energy into the grid.

In the UK, electric companies actually pay you if your panels are attached to the grid and producing excess electricity.

Also, the government will give out grants to buy the panels with.

Nuclear energy follows a pretty dated concept of doing whatever benefits us the most now and worrying about consequences later. It will only help the environment until we have loads of waste that we have no real permanent solution for disposing of or a complication occurs like in Japan after that Tsunami.

We need to work towards solar and wind, not nuclear, "clean" coal, etc.

But they already do have the right to wear the veil n hide their face in plenty of countries in the (Iran, saudi arabia) just two examples.

The veil has no place in france or a western culture and i would fight for a countries right to keep its culture.

You have to put a stop somewhere and the veil is a good start, its unpractical in a work environment, education environment, court room, banks etc. It's rude to others too. Unless there is a medical reason it should be banned.

First, the veil is not worn in Iran, it is however worn in Saudi Arabia. But the fact that they have a place to wear their veil doesn't take away their right to do it elsewhere if they wish to.

You mentioned that a country has a right to keep its culture. There lies the problem, a country has no rights other than those of its people. That means that the people of a country can make decisions regarding both things that are personal to each individual in that country AND decisions regarding the future direction of that country as a whole. However, once that country makes a decision to allow people from other parts of the world, and accepts them (assuming they are not illegal), those people are now the people of that country and have the right to live how they wish just like everyone else. This includes the right to be free from the tyrrany of the majority.

You mentioned that you would fight to keep a country's culture. That is not your place to do so. Your country accepted certain people with a certain way of life inside its borders. Your country's laws are made by your representatives. Once your laws accepted them in, you gained the benefits that come with having immigrants in your country. In return these immigrants were promised the benefits of the host nation. You cannot now tell them that they cannot do what is customary to them, even though you knew who they were when you let them in.

Your practicality argument is sound. But that does not require all encompasing laws to ban veils altogether.

So no, you should not fight for taking people's freedom just because you dont like their traditions. You CAN however, vote for immigration laws that prevent them from coming to your country.
