that this stupid and useless piece of non- applicable (to most of us)news upsets/ annoys enrages them? But gee, thanks for amusing me, folks.

This reminds me of a scene from the British sitcom Blackadder, when Lord Blackadder has his wealthy Puritan aunt and uncle over for dinner: Lady Whiteadder: Chairs! You have chairs in your House? Blackadder: Yes, well... [she slaps him twice] Lady Whiteadder: Wicked Child! Chairs are the work of Beelzebub! At our house Nathaniel sits on a spike! Blackadder: And yourself? Lady Whiteadder: I sit on Nathaniel! Two spikes would be an extravagance.

I don't know.

why are you reading it? Some people find it enlightening to discuse things. Others find it amusing. Excuse me while I go back to my utterly, boring life as a telecomunications engineer. I must be standing to close to the radiation comming off those microwave towers. Let's see if I can glow in the dark. ;-)

I presume your rabbi knows you spend all day on a computer surfing the Internet? I would be very interested to hear what he says about that one, tut tut. Its the devil i tell you its his tool to get to you. You can access all kinds of sights which the devil runs and once you click there he has you. You should turn the devils device off and go study your bible before the devil takes your soul. Repent i say Miriam repent before its to late .

so why on earth get so excited over something that is 'gornicht' for most of us? Ynet does it every time, but keep up the talkbacks, I love 'em. MUCH more interesting than the stupid and irrelevant articles/

affect all of us. When a group of religous Jews goes around breaking store windows, it looks bad especially to goyim who tend to associate it to other Jews or other Orthodox. To some we all wear black coats and black or fur hats. We tend to understand theee Jew mentioned in the above article are our fringe lunatics. The talk balks are great. I often learn more from them than the articles accept in the cases of their better Jounrnalist such as Atila Somalevia (? spelling). I wish U.S.news sights would utilize them. Sometimes I see them on a British site. Maybe the U.S. mostly ultra liberal media doesn't want competition from its own readers. They could be easily exposed for what they are. YNet is smart. They don't care so long as the click throughs keep click and the ad revenues roll in. Meanwhile, we get our say and get plenty of entertainment at no or little expense to YNet. Remember that poor fellow Ray Hanania. He probablly busted their server with all the responses he got. Some are a blast, even funier than Letterman or Leno. Lot of tallent out there. So why wast ones money of cable TV when there is YNet for free! :-)

I don't really understand how a group of people voluntarily choosing to avoid mass-media really affects you. If these batei-dinim were trying to create a national ban I would be outraged as well. But, there are plenty of very good reasons to avoid being inundated with consumerist crap... Oh the horrors of a life without game shows and sitcoms!

is it permissible by halacha to vandalize, destroy property, and cause physical harm? these haredi values are all mixed up: coercion vs morality. what a travesty.

Simon at least is honest , contrary to you , we all know who and what he is . You think his behaviour is immoral ? Is he agressing someone ? Does he show a hateful face ? Does he throw acid on girls ? Your "people" do it . Let me tell you , that even i'm not gay at all , i prefer this honest Simon , above your "moral" people

And you , are'nt you masking your sins ?

So you are a cowardy sinner

You have found something : my spelling . Great . Those are the arguments of your kind of people , poor guys . Let me tell you that English is only my third language , I know two West European much better . Is Bar anonymous for you ? you don't even mention the hole where you are living in .

to someone , when he has nothing serious to say , insults . Poor guy means that i feel sorry for you being so ignorant .
