61. #17 Right on! Yeah!
Richard ,   New York, USA   (04.11.06)
62. Thanks for taking away my freedom
GetReal ,   Dallas, TX   (04.11.06)
Wonder what gives people the right to tell me what I can and can't do...
63. freedom of choice
John ,   NZ   (04.11.06)
the problem with religion nowadays, is that ppl use it for all the wrong reasons. God gave us conscience , the freedom to choose right and wrong. If not God would have just created us as robots. Muslim is one religion that uses oppression and no freedom to choose. Is that what the Rabbi advocates. He may have hacked one site, there are 10 million more.
64. Anyone else see the bigger issue here?
Janus ,   Pittsburgh, PA, USA   (04.11.06)
Regardless of how you feel about porn, why is it that Isreali websites seem so insecure? You would think that they would have better security measures in place or something. FORTY sites....christ.
65. Control Freaks
Talula Belle ,   Israel   (04.11.06)
Who are these fanatic religious morons to tell anyone what site they can and cannot enter? How dare they!! Why can't they live and let live? Porn is on the net, and pork is available in the stores!!! you don't HAVE to go look and you don't have to buy, it's a personal choice. These misguided, dense, stupid people should be caught and given the harshest punishment available. I think they are jealous!!!
66. "sex commando" just trying to save your eyesight.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Santa Monica, CA   (04.11.06)
67. Aren't some of you funny - there are millions of porn sites
Judith ,   Haifa   (04.11.06)
40 less won't make a difference. Exploitation of woman and children will continue and continue; a lot of it through porn sites. One's freedom of expression is another's suppression. But hey why should people let that get in the way, hypocrites! I think the Haredim are dealing with it in the wrong way, but they are on the right track.
68. Human Rights v Haredi Religious Group
Naomi ,   Jerusalem   (04.11.06)
Even if you find porn repulsive, it is still a right, a democratice form of free speech, that includes expressionism of sexuality. This right enables most of us in the free world many opportunities, that others in oppressive regimes are unable to experience. This democratic right enables us freedom. It is the protection of this freedom that has caused wars, and our free society, our democratic rights, must be upheld. Any religious group, must not be allowed to indoctrinate their beliefs into changing the fundamental rights of a political society. This is no different from me forcing my beliefs onto you, and then hacking into your computer to prove my point. Why should my views be more important than yours? Why should I be allowed to control your views simply because I believe that my way is better? Using god and the foundation of religion as a weapon to control other human beings is never going to be the answer!
69. ignorant
63 ur ignorant   (04.11.06)
Muslim doesnt use opression and no freedom of choice. Watch more Fox and whacko stories from Islamophobics to increase your ignorance.
70. 69 - i've lived around muslims and they ARE MOST opperssive
mike ,   usa   (04.11.06)
and i learned that before fox existed. what were you saying about ignorance?
71. If this were the other way around people would care.
Ryan ,   Vermont, USA   (04.11.06)
No seems to care that freedom of speech is being infringed upon in this case....but if hackers went to Religious websites and replaced pictures of rabbis with prono, people would be rioting in the streets. It's pure hypocrisy. Religon is the root cause of most of the world's problems, when will people learn?
72. Rioting in the streets?
Troll ,   Southern California   (04.12.06)
71, the article says that a religious site was hacked. And, like always, there were no Jews rioting in the streets. Jews rioting in the streets! The only time in history I can think of such a thing was the Warsaw Ghetto, and I dare say it was justified.
73. sex industry
jessie ,   norway   (04.12.06)
i am amazed that so many defend this industry. this industry are destructive for everyone, from little babys to adults. this industry is a cynical money machine.
74. To all you people that say well done.
Talula Belle ,   Israel   (04.12.06)
Can't you resist the urge to visit a porn site? like, if it's not there you won't look? There's nothing disgusting about porn. Why should it bother you who goes into these sites? Do you think god will strike you blind if you go in and have a look? You are so #(@*#$ pathetic. You live sad mundane lives sponging off the government, you produce more kids than you can look after or afford. You need to start with your own community before you branch out into porn sites. Losers!!!
75. Free society
CanelaKat ,   Chicago   (04.12.06)
Yeah right. Next time when you are on the web, try misspelling a search for children's cartoons or other fun stuff for kids. You will find links to porn sites. Why do you think these porn sellers do this? Pornography destroys people. Its evil. God bless the Rabbi's efforts, even if they are short lived. Kat in Chicago
76. Why are they looking any way?
Co Jones ,   USA   (04.13.06)
How would these Orthodox people know thedifference between raunchy and raunchier porn. THEY ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE LOOKING AT IT
77. Masturbation
TruthNow ,   NYC   (04.16.06)
masturbation is a sin Kabbalah is very explicit about the negative spiritual side-effects of masturbation. The idea is as follows: Your seed is the material by which you procreate; it is the genetic material within you that allows you the opportunity to partner with G-d. How’s that? : When we use it constructively, we channel the Divine sparks and energy within it correctly, and it comes to good use within the world via children who in turn will produce more children, in this way continuing the path of humanity. When we let it go to waste, however, we squander G-d’s sacred and divine potential. (This allows for what Kabbalah calls “Chitzonim,” negative forces loosely translated as “outsiders,” to snatch the energy and convert it for negative purposes.)
78. to # 74 Talula Belle
Y. ,   Israel   (04.16.06)
I had to write this because i have read so man of your talkbacks but at this point I just cant take it anymore. You are an ignorant, moronic, most probably slutty, person. You have absolutely no respect for anyone or anything. Your views here (and in other talkbacks) are simplistic and dull. I suggest you go out and get a life and maybe leave Israel. If you are so against religion and religious people that you call losers...you need to get the #$%& out! This is a Jewish State whether you like it or not. Get over yourself. Stop thinking that you know everything and get educated before you comment on every article on this site. To the religious commando - great job! Youa re doing a wonderful thing. Keep it up!
79. interesting
Kit ,   NY, NY   (04.16.06)
Yes, that picture made it harder to fap. Not impossible, just more difficult.
80. Misconception
Carlton ,   Augusta, GA   (04.21.06)
Bob, from Columbus, OH, I would like to point out a misconception that you seem to have. First of all, most Orthodox Jews are not zionists. The majority of the Orthodox did not want to see Israel become a state again because it was going to be a secular state, not a religious one. The settlers are a special breed of Orthodox but other than that, most Orthodox are not zionists. Secondly, regarding invading Egypt and doing helo strikes, etc, that is definitely not the Orthodox but rather the secular (very secular) government. So, the Orthodox who are doing what they are doing to porn sites are not being two-faced as you suggested (at least by terms of your examples). They put what they view as God's laws above mans laws; something that we all should probably do.
81. Wake-up smell the coffee!
Inna Bleykhman ,   San Francisco, USA   (06.26.06)
There guys are true winners in perpetual lost cause! At least I had a good laugh out of it!
82. good
tim ,   raleigh us   (08.03.06)
im glad they took down those sites. the internet is sick enough
83. VERY FUNNY !!! HAREDIM HAVE SENSE OF HUMOR !!!
RCA ,   USA   (03.02.07)
84. TO HIRAM
Joe Education ,   Anytown, USA   (03.06.07)
the phrase is not 'OPIUM', it is 'OPIATE'. Opium is a specific drug. An OPIATE is any soporific substance.
85. re 80. Misconception
Yisrael Dov ,   Rechovot Israel   (03.28.07)
Carlton ... Every religious jew is a zionist -- he wants jewish autonomy in Eretz Yisrael. A jewish state governed according to the will of g-d. That is a corner stone of the jewish faith. There are, however differing viewpoints on how to reach that goal. some want to use the current state to get to the ultimate goal and some want to wait for it to come through revealed miracles, and some are some where in between.
86. porn
k gillam ,   windsor   (07.23.07)
it is the abnormal being made normal ,money is it's goal & magnet. the law is useless,because the law is made by immoral people as much as by moral people. therefore there is always compromise. porn is devasting to the victim's and those who are seduced to it,are not equal partener's, but contributer's.. it is not who is wrong,but what is wrong,with the human species. it comes down to animal versus spiritual creatures.it's not a religious factor,but a desecration of the human spirit prefering to become basic animal useing the power of thought, to pull down the atributes of a higher nature, the end result is worst than word's can describe. our children are victim's ,but those children abused is terrible and consequencial..kkg
87. anti porn commandos
josh ,   randazzo sisily   (02.20.13)
your all wrong the commandos fight for whats right they have doughtful ways but show courage and virtue in what they do. which means they are fighting for a cause, wish them luck and suggest you all do the same porn only sickens the mind with addiction and causes aids, child deaths, and disease. My suggestion is that we all do what we can to prevent it if we want porn we get married so that its right and we can do it when we want. that is all think on it.
