1. segregation and freedom
ky   (12.06.13)
between any people at any time at any place (except a public toilet) is an abomination in a free and humane society
2. TALMUD & SHARIA LAW COMPARED
daniel   (12.06.13)
those unholy books are not about religions but political movements dressed up as religion in order to consolidate power and supremacy,talmud declares that goyim are animals while the sharia consider non muslims as second class citizens,both of them declare they may lie and deceive goyim and non muslims and the difference shariah is a religious distinction and talmud is racial,the common denominator of the talmud and shariah is that the end justifies the means,fascism and communism-totalitarian regime-believes the same thing.The actions that these unholy books advocate violate most moral or ethical codes,this is evidence of satan influence,the land of feudal lords and living like they did in the middle ages.Talmudism certainly is contrary to the teachings of torah and messiah as is shariah
3. Use this for safety, one stair for down and one for up

4. The Grand Rabbi in Boston steals from Israel
(12.06.13)
so they must be holier than thou
5. Separation required because zombies cannot pray
Chief Zombie ,   Israel   (12.07.13)
when their view of their feet is obstructed
6. burial segregation
sam elyanito ,   gibraltar   (12.08.13)
it is the \Sefardi custom to bury men and women separately.there is no such thing as a matrimonial tomb.here in Gibraltar-the oldest standing Jewish community in Iberia men are buried on one side and women on the other this custom is also visible in the ancient cemeteries in Morocco ..However when visiting a relatives tomb the sexes either go alone or together to honour ther deceased and no questions are asked .
7. Looks like religions cannot overcome sex-issues :
tom ,   tel aviv   (12.08.13)
it goes for Judaism, it is true for Christianity and x10 more true for Islam. They just cannot digest the pleasures of sexual content, with the imagined virtues as dictated by degenerate "prophets" of various kinds. Really sick cults trying to impose their abysmal world view on the rest of society. In Israel it is only at the begining stage. Probably not for long.(either way)
8. Not black and white
Joseph ,   London England   (12.08.13)
On occasions like the Rebbe's jahrzeit, when large crowds gather, there may be a need for a separation -- unless separate times are published in advance. I lived in Beit Zvil in the early 1970's and the Hasidim were charming and good people, not how they are being portrayed by Hiddush.
9. Saudi highway sign: Muslims go right, Infidels go left
Carl ,   USA   (12.09.13)
What's the difference?
10. #2 Daniel - Did you study Talmud from Stormfront?
Carl ,   USA   (12.09.13)
You are repeating nothing but vile anti-Semitic lies about the Talmud. It says nothing of the sort.
11. Number 1 Women can choose
Danny ,   London England   (12.09.13)
Many girls choose to attend girls schools because they prefer that. Many gyms and sports clubs have certain times for women only, because women want it that way. Many hospitals have scrapped mixed wards because women don't want to be with men. Some trains even have a women only compartment late at night to protect women from unruly males. None of these are in any way brought about by Jews or Muslims. Women have the right to choose.
12. Number 2 is 'Evidence of Satanic Influence?
Lucifer ,   Gehenim   (12.09.13)
13. Further to number 6
Akiva ,   NYC   (12.09.13)
In the Chabad Ohel in New York, the sixth and the seventh Lubavitcher Rebbes ztl are buried together and their wives I understand are buried together. It's probably based on the verse in Tanach that says the men console the men and the women console the women. In many Haredi circles women are discouraged from attending the cemetery.
14. Number 7.
Sherlock Holmes ,   London England   (12.09.13)
Are you suggesting that visiting the graves of Tzadikim gives a 'pleasure of sexual content'? The only full separation of men and women as a Halacha l'Moshe mi'Sinai is during statutory services -- Shacharis, Musaf, Mincha, Neila and Maariv. Even laining the megillah [separate from a statutory service one does not require mechitza. The Chasidim have acepted upon themselves a social segregation, which some Haredim have begrudgingly followed, but it is unacceptable to foist these personal extreme views on the general public. Mehadrin buses is just a case of supply and demand and not really an Halachic issue at all.
15. Brits and non-Brits
Joseph ,   London England   (12.09.13)
When I first arrived in London in 1971 there were two queues in Heathrow, UK and Commonwealth and 'Aliens' Between being labelled an 'alien' and the unavoidable movie 'E.T.' I have been traumatised all these years! Labelling and segregation hurts.
