a kirpan isnt a weapon it is a artifact of the sikh faith so technacily we arnt braking the law.

[mongoliaboy]

kirpan is not used to kill!! It is a symbol of sikh identity!

[thezombiekiller87]

why are kids having kirpans anyway.

[preet3303]

section 2A of the canadian charter of rights and freedoms says that all canadians have the freedom of conscience and religion, so by law as canadian sikhs they have the right to express their religion and wear the kirpan

This is doing something illegal with the excuse of "religion" tagged onto it. A kirpan is not some "dull ceremonial knife". There have been attacks with it on many occasions. It can easily be used as a weapon.

I can't say i've seen all that many attacks or stabbings with other religious items like crosses or kippas.. If you can't deal with RATIONAL laws then stay in your country and dont immigrate here..

Next we'll have people trying to pass bombs and pistols off as "religious items"..

Bullshit. It may be an 'artifact' to you, but its a knife to me. Do you see Christians actually dragging crosses to schools? Do you see anyone claiming a pistol is not a 'weapon' because it isn't loaded yet? Wear the symbolic kirpan anywhere you like, but don't tell me a 6 inch piece of flattened steel with a handle is not a knife. I simply don't believe you.

Is it true that baptized Sikhs, women or men, can't cut their hair? Anywhere?

Oh i am sorry about my little blow up there i didn't see you were trying to call me A GOD so thank you for your servitude pauper.

[donniedarko66699]

YOU are without a doubt one of the most pathetic specimens i have ever had the dis pleasure of insulting, i don't bend knee to any usurper zealot of the cross, and i do not answer to those usurpers courts it is you who shall find out soon enough your foolishness, you will be left to ponder these thing while you lay wrenching for air in a pool of your own coagulated blood.

I don't need to argue, because you are also a god's spirit. But ,When you leave your body then you won't have anybody to argue with , Just you and the high court. There fore don't be a fool and keep commenting on stuff that you don't know about. It best for you to stop and wake up.

[donniedarko66699]

No but it can be used as a normal knife.

[donniedarko66699]

You ridiculous argument would almost be believable to a lanky dullard, IF you didn't prove yourself a retard with that fine spelling of yours Wud= would.
