Would rewrite an Obsidian programmer's html code just for a chance to watch her play Settlers of Catan: Traders and Barbarians edition.

Good for her, but does there need to be a separate world championship for women? It's not like different sexes can't compete equally.


LoL they do. Women can choose to compete in either, with just the women or with the men as well.

That doesn't make any sense. My agenda being matched? What?

You're shocked that conservatives are in favor of a Western woman refusing to wear a hijab in an international competition. You obviously know very little about conservatives.

And lol at calling me "far right." I'd love to know your definition of that one too.

and they adopt out customs and assimilate. But when an American travels, they want to be able to do as they want.


Genuinely curious to here your answer here:

Do you think all values and customs are equal? Do you think American and Iranian values are on the same level and should be defended equally?

Answer this, an Iranian woman comes to the states for the same competition and is told to take her hijab off. Do you support it?

Very simple yes or no question.

Gotta love a woman who plays chess. She knows a queen takes care of her king.

Honestly surprised you far right conservatives would support her on this.
lol what?

a conservative/nationalist would be the first person to agree with her. a liberal/globalist would be the one up in arms that she's not accepting someone else's culture.

you're on an awfully high horse for such a terrible understanding of politics.

No. And a U.S. international competition would never ask them to. Again, you obviously have some weird impression of what you think conservatives believe.

Would never happen.

Also, do you understand the difference between a foreigner coming here and adopting US customs and a US citizen going to a foreign country and being told straight up to adapt to a custom?

You must live in a cardboard box on an island. Did you just type that out and are serious about it?

The women of chess are pretty hot nowadays, maybe I should go back to that game?

Granted, the wargaming circuit has some babes rolling through competitive play nowadays...

This is one of those liberal conundrums. Here we have a proud woman refusing to bow to the left's favorite "oppressed" religion.

Oh what will they do?

Flip the script. I recall a year or two ago a woman on an American beach being forced to take her hijab off because "When in American, you do as Americans", and the far right was cheering it on.


France.

That would 100% be against the law to force someone to remove their hijab on a public beach in the US. Show me when that has happened and been held up in courts.
