Aaron ,   Israel   (02.28.12)
3. I have a good news.after 5years of searching......
saied ,   With jews.not shy.   (02.29.12)
On these issues,i reached what is the source of many many psychological problems.i know what causes that some people prefer loneliness.i reached to this point that there is a direct relation between body and brain.these people are doing something that gives them false self-confidence.and because they are not keeping the middle way.and that thing is taboo,i can tell it explicitly.
4. Most yeshivas are full of mentally ill people
Mikey ,   SomeWhere OverHere   (02.29.12)
They stand in the beis medrash, shockeling back and forth to something invisible and then they have arguments about eggs laid on Shabbos or Yom Tov. A bunch of crazies!
5. 4 Mickey,Those who don t hear...

Nachman   (02.29.12)
Seems that you have been in yeshiva and have Issues. See a psychiatrist obviously the yeshiva could not help you.
7. Ora, dance with me, I do not spit on women.

So how would you characterize Arab suicide bombers or those who are capable of slaughtering a sleeping family of five, and say their religion specifically commands it? And how about the parents and aunt of those who can slit the throats of that sleeping family of five and sing their praises and write poems to their "bravery?" (Because it is oh-so-"brave" to kill a three-month old child, right?) So who is the more mentally defective? Those who commit the murders, those who sing the praises of the murderers, or those who televise those praises? Seems to me you are all mentally ill.
9. 7 Michael, Where is the catch here?
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (02.29.12)
is this an attempt to set foot in the Haredi community?
10. To No.8
saied   (03.01.12)
I talked universal,not only about these persons.surely,i've found the solution after years.you know the answer of your questions.there is no need for me to answer.what would you think,that is the answer.sarah,you cannot enter from my weak points to condemn,defeat me.sarah,what would you think about use of white phosphor to burn the crops of gazans??
11. To: No. 10
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.01.12)
I think war is hell, and that the Gazans need to learn this fact. Eleven thousand missiles fired into Israeli civilian population centers is more than enough. How do you expect me to have "respect" for crops grown by Gazans when Gaza's own leadership blew up the hydroponic farms and greenhouses that the departing Israelis graciously left intact? Since the worst medical problem in Gaza is obesity, I don't think they are starving.
12. #9 ORA, The catch is additional wives.
Michael ,   California, USA   (03.01.12)
How many can you get me in the Haredi community? I could use a few more, up to three more. Really, I will never spit. Commission for your hard work will be "no problem."
13. to no.11
saied   (03.01.12)
Are your comparing white phosphore with qassam?if 1 piece of phosphore stick to your waist,it will burn until comes out of your chest.
14. To: No. 13
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.01.12)
If you feel that strongly about it, why don't you calculate the downward trajectory of a Qassam and arrange to stand under it? It's not as if it is white phosphorus, after all, now, is it? Somehow I think you will decline to avail yourself of the opportunity. Besides -- didn't you mention crops? I didn't know that crops had waistlines or chests.
15. To sarah.b
saied   (03.01.12)
I meant white phosphore cannot be extinguished except with soil.with a huge number of drones,satellite images,best weapons from america,best tanks,you are comparing yourself with hamas's weapons?who first started this war?who?israel or hamas?
16. To sarah.i meant it cannot be extinguished,except with soil.
saied   (03.01.12)
Hamas missile are so inaccurate that in 90percent is landing in negev.
17. To: No. 15
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.02.12)
Hamas is responsible for the ongoing violence. Gaza is not a country, and only countries can declare war, but are you somehow under the impression that a sovereign state should have to put up with incessant terror attacks without responding? Please name one country -- just one -- that would put up with ONE missile fired at its civilian population by terrorist rabble. Israel has had to deal with 11,000.
18. To: No. 16
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.02.12)
So what? Efficacy of the missiles doesn't matter -- the intent behind the firing of missiles does. That's the criminal, wanton, terrorist act. Where the missiles land is entirely irrelevant.
19. #17.define terrorism for me?define defender for me too.
saied   (03.02.12)
20. Sarah,there is a proverb in persian's custom.it says:
saied ,   gladiator   (03.02.12)
You can awake a person that is asleep,but you're unable to awake a person that likes to be asleep.
21. come on sarah.you are making me boring.please do not.....
saied   (03.02.12)
Retreat.i want a rivalry.but it seems you are out of stage,scence.
22. To: No. 19
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.02.12)
Don't you know the meaning of the word "terror?" Where do you think the words "terrorist" and "terrorism" come from? Quite distinct from freedom fighter, I assure you. On the other hand, a defender is someone acting within the law to protect and preserve fully legal and legitimate interests. Sorry -- if I had known you were so intellectually deficient, I'd have used smaller words.
23. To: No. 20
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.02.12)
Thank goodness I am not Iranian. That is a truly ridiculous maxim. But it does explain why you like to be willfully asleep.
24. To: No. 21
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.02.12)
Translation: "I cannot keep pace with you intellectually, Sarah, so I will beat a hasty retreat." Bye, Saied. Have a nice sleep.
25. To: No. 21
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.02.12)
I'm not making your boring. You're already there.
26. To no 22.to sarah.b.(i don't know the philosophy of (B)).
saied   (03.02.12)
Why don't you define terrorism?i wanted to use your definition to show you the biggest terrorist in the world.
27. To: No. 26
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.03.12)
Now, you are really grasping at straws and making an enormous fool of yourself. Has there ever been a Jewish suicide bomber? No. Has there ever been an Arab suicide bomber? Oh, yes. Too many and disgusting to recount here. The most vile and despicable thing about Arabs and Moslems is that you count yourselves EVER so victorious when you manage to murder innocent people riding a bus, or eating in a restaurant, or dancing at a nightclub. But when someone brings the fight right back to you -- as Israel has -- you are the first to whimper and cry and bleat about discrimination. So, it's supposed to be okay if you are the perpetrators, but not so okay when someone hits back. See the problem? You glorify suicide bombers and those who call for jihad and those who call for slaying the "infidel" (by which you mean anyone who isn't exactly like you, without even acknowledging that no sane human beings on this planet want to be ANYTHING like you). You people are a blight upon civilization. Astralopithicus was FAR more advanced to that which you lot can ever hope to aspire.
28. Who is terrorist?the comment readers will judge.
saied   (03.03.12)
America that is using nuclear weapon and acted genocide by killing japanese or hamas that his missile is unable to even kill a cat?israel that used cluster bombs or hezbolah that defended lebanon until israel pullout in 2000?israel that acted genocide in sabra and shatila disaster or hamas?
29. To: No. 28
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.03.12)
1. Learn the definition of "genocide." The use of nuclear weapons to end World War II saved at least a million American lives; probably more. 2. Efficacy of Hamas missiles is irrelevant. The criminal act exists in the firing of the missiles. Don't you know anything? 3. Hezbollah "defended" Lebanon? How? By murdering its prime minister? 4. The murders (however despicable, it was far from genocide) in Sabra and Shatila were carried out by the Lebanese Christian Phalange. Not Israel. Did it ever occur to you that they may have only been exacting retribution for the thousands of Lebanese Christians that were murdered by Moslems? Hmm?
30. #29.why efficacy is irrelevant?hamas missile is terrifying..
saied   (03.03.12)
More,or white phosphor,cluster bombs,nukes,which one is more the act of terrorizing the world?according to your brain,yes qassam is putting in danger your walking with your boyfriend in south israel.
