Actually, because in the U.S. so many men are circumcised (including non-Jews) most women in this country are turned off by the sight of uncircumcised men. In fact, I have non-Jewish girlfriends who won't even date a man who isn't circumcised. And while it's possible that the women you mentioned might love Scandinavian men...I suspect it's not exactly their uncircumcised genitalia that's attracting them.

Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (07.18.12)
Yesterday , it was BRIS . Ynet is an ISRAELI paper , so they have to use the commonly used here , and not the galut one . Your comparison , Jerusalem , hold not stand . End for me .
63. Gabriel , i want to add , in your tongue
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (07.18.12)

Drew Kohler ,   Milwaukee   (07.18.12)
I (along with millions of others) was circumcised by a mohel who was not an MD, and I, thank God, have never had any problems with my penile health or hygiene.
65. 63 Charles "heart and soul"...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (07.18.12)
Fine,then we have a way of communication. But first i expect an apology for the insult that still hurts.
66. 64 Drew, Accidents happen with ...

No we have one language and one State (Israel) In Israel its called a Brit" a Brit
69. Ora , it was not meant at YOUR children
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (07.18.12)
as i wrote already .
70. 69 Charles, each time that you...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (07.18.12)
generalise wrongdoings of some Haredim, you insult all the fine Haredim,my children and me included. you said that the Haredim stink. When it is hot,all the Hilonim don t smell roses either. It did hurt me,mainly because it came from somebody,i imagined a smart,strong and tender guy. After what you said, your image changed in a....that s better left unsaid. Just apologise. Your crown will stay intact,for sure.
71. 69 TRY2 Charles,no stupid excuses...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (07.18.12)
Just apologise.The crown on your head will stay intact.

73. Brit MIla Police
Derek Roma ,   Germany/ Lowlands   (07.19.12)
We'll go underground for the Britmila of my grandchild. I wont wait for the britmila Police, they wont take us alive. Brit Mila or death Signed: The Brit Mila liberation Front
74. Ora , elephant skin !
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (07.19.12)
If you take everything personnally , it's your problem , not mine . I heard already much worse things about seculars here , from people who are also charidim . But i can differentiate between Personal and general . And when they say something general , it does'nt hurt me , because it's NOT adressed to me , i'm above this . So think that "Charles talked about some who smell badly" , so not about me or those who are dear to me . That's smart .
75. 74 Charles We can stay friends...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (07.19.12)
and have different opinions. All fine Haredis identify themselves with the Haredi society and feel insulted with your posts. You are free to continue saying what goes through your head without caring of "Veahavta et Reeha". i have no problem with ignoring posts of so called "friends" who insult my people. Have peaceful nights,Charles.
76. Ora , you wrote
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (07.19.12)
"all fine charedis identify themselve with the charedi society" . Does this mean that you identify yourself with those charedim who spit on a girl ? who segregate women , etc etc ? Does this mean that you agree with their actions ? Or , i hope , that you also differentiate between charedim and charedim ? So why not differentiate between those i hate [ for their actions ] and "insult" and the others , those you call fine charedim ?
77. Charles, very simple...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (07.19.12)
If a non-Jew for whom you had sympathy says to you :Jews stink,but i don t mean you..... If you don t want to stay friends with him, does that mean that you agree with the Jews who are dirty? Of course not. Please ,Charles,be clear and precise,and don t give the impression by generalising,that you hate all the Haredis.
78. 76TRY2 Charles, admit already that...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (07.19.12)
insulting all the haredi for the wrongdoings of some is unfair and hurtful to the fine people of this society.
79. Ora , read my last sentence in my 76
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (07.19.12)
And read what you wrote [ i repeated it in my 76 ] You identify yourself with the charedi society . ALSO with those i dislike ? Those who spit , etc ? Your comparison is NOT relevant .
80. Brit Milah
Chrisa ,   Berlin   (07.20.12)
So, it's all decided today in the Bundestag (parliament) Brit Milah will be practised as before in Germany. I am sure we knew this outcome, So a lot of steam for nothing.
81. 79 Charles "Why not differentiate...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (07.22.12)
between those i hate and insult and the others?" Because you do not express clearly the difference.
82. Ora , You identify yourself
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (07.22.12)
with the charedi community . You wrote . As you didn't answer my : with the whole ? question , i suppose that you also "identify yourself" with those who spit on girls , insult police , etc . So how can i express a difference if there is NO ?
83. 82 Charles,i don t have the answer..
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (07.22.12)
but i appreciate the question. NOT.
84. Ora , 83
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (07.23.12)
no answer = identify yourself withose i hate ? Do you want me to have the same "sentiments" towards you ? Sad ......i awaited a different answer . You don't appreciate my question ? Because it exposes your "ideas" ? very sad ....
85. 84 Charles Last warning ! !
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (07.23.12)
You insulted me,saying that the Haredi people [without specifying which Haredi] give a stinky taste to everything. Remember, i am a Haredi woman ,in case you forgot it. Charles,don t play stupid with me,i am better at it. Apologise already ! !
86. 85 Add. 10.. 9..8..7..6..5..4..3..2.....
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (07.23.12)
87. 85 Add. i guess ,you meant me ...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (07.23.12)
no harm,but i was standing where you was shooting. Will that make you happy? Not me.
88. 84 May my worst enemies talk...
