ellauri080.html on line 783: During Gandhi's time as a dissident in South Africa, he discovered a male youth had been harassing two of his female followers. Gandhi responded by personally cutting the girls' hair off, to ensure the "sinner's eye" was "sterilised". Gandhi boasted of the incident in his writings, pushing the message to all Indians that women should carry responsibility for sexual attacks upon them. Such a legacy still lingers. In the summer of 2009, colleges in north India reacted to a spate of sexual harassment cases by banning women from wearing jeans, as western-style dress was too "provocative" for the males on campus.

ellauri184.html on line 536: Under the first Christian emperor, Constantine, the two rescripts of Antoninus on circumcision were re-enacted and again in the 6th century under Justinian. These restrictions on circumcision made their way into both secular and Canon law and "at least through the Middle Ages, preserved and enhanced laws banning Hebrews from circumcising non-Hebrews and banning Christians or slaves of any religious affiliation from undergoing circumcision for any reason." Hyvä pojat!
ellauri196.html on line 638: The Taft–Hartley Act amended the 1935 National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), prohibiting unions from engaging in several unfair labor practices. Among the practices prohibited by the Taft–Hartley act are jurisdictional strikes, wildcat strikes, solidarity or political strikes, secondary boycotts, secondary and mass picketing, closed shops, and monetary donations by unions to federal political campaigns. The NLRA also allowed states to enact right-to-work laws banning union shops. Enacted during the early stages of the Cold War, the law required union officers to sign non-communist affidavits with the government.

ellauri490.html on line 295: To promote a free-soil social and economic model. Cutler and many allies believed free labor and family farming were economically superior to slave-based plantations; banning slavery would encourage small-farm settlement and a republican social order consistent with their ideals.
ellauri490.html on line 304: Economic practicality: The Northwest’s climate, land parcels, and soil were generally less suited to large-scale plantation crops prevalent in the South; banning slavery reinforced an economic model of small farms rather than plantations.
ellauri490.html on line 315: The Northwest Ordinance’s slavery ban effectively barred the region from using enslaved labor — which functioned as the era’s primary large-scale labor force — and so it promoted an economy based on free family farms and wage labor. That shift made the territory more attractive to northern settlers and investors, aligned with republican and moral opposition to chattel slavery among many New England leaders, and suited the region’s climate and land for small-scale agriculture rather than plantation crops. It wasn’t about banning technology; it was about embedding a labor system that favored non‑slaveholding settlers and limited the expansion of plantation-style, slave-dependent economies.

Her attendance in the celebration helped Buddhism and Shinto gain acceptance into Hawaiian society and prevented the possible banning of the two religions by the Territorial government. Her presence was also widely reported in Chinese and Japanese newspapers throughout the world, and earned her the respect of many Japanese people both in Hawaii and in Japan itself, with the exception of Rei Shimura.
xxx/ellauri422.html on line 477: A law banning women under the age of 23 from traveling abroad without a parent or guardian, with the purpose of "increased morality and preservation of the gene pool" passed in the Kyrgyz parliament in June 2013. As the prices of imported agrichemicals and petroleum are so high, much farming is being done by hand and by horse, as it was generations ago. Kirgisiassa ei ole nettiä.

xxx/ellauri485.html on line 245: Gibbon oli Voltairen aateserkku. A view frequently attributed to Gibbon, that the Roman Empire fell due to its embrace of Christianity, is (surprise surprise) not widely accepted by scholars today. Gibbon's work has been criticised for its scathing view of the Christian church, as laid down in chapters XV and XVI, which resulted in the banning of the book in several countries. Gibbon was accused of disrespecting Christian doctrine by "treat[ing] the Christian church as a phenomenon of general history, not a special case admitting supernatural explanations and disallowing criticism of its adherents".

The rule of three is the key to comedy. Plato is notorious for banning standup comedians from the Republic. He would have kicked out both Reagan and Trump. Trump is planning a 60-metre gold plated Arc de Trump in Washington. Who´s on third?
