Drecks and the City

Jewdar is perfectly ready to lambaste our haredi brethren when they deserve it, so it only seems fair to heap kudos upon their black hats when they’ve done something good. They kept the Gloved One from getting up close and personal with the kotel back in ’93, and now their protests are keeping ads for the moronfest popularly known as Sex and the City from being put up around Jerusalem.

Of course, being the urban sophisticates we are, Jewdar is opposed in principle to censorship and coercion and whatnot, but we do have to admit that of course while they shouldn’t do such things, insofar as they are going to anyway, they could have done a lot worse. Now if only we can turn their attentions to Mathew Mconaughy.

What do you think?

    I can see why you would say that Puck, but for those of us who actually go for vagina there is nothing more unattractive than a busted-out, middle-aged, alcoholic slag who sits around bitching about how unworthy all the men they meet are with their equall

    Okay, Jewdar, so you will speak out against haredim when 1) they are in Israel, and 2) They are mizrahi, and 3) are trashing earthquakes because they are nambla gay.

    As for your ” “suck it, bitch” comment in regards to the haredim, t

    You should really check the hechsher on whatever crack you’re smoking, mrnghts, because it seems adulterated by something. When have you ever spoken to us about hareidim? When have we refused to condemn something stupid or wrong done by hareidim? When

    Fact: Jewdar just conceded that,
    As for “refusing” to take a stand on metzitza b’peh, that implies we were asked to. For the record, our sons had it done, they are fine… it’s fine with us.

    Hence, we see that Jewdar absolutely end

    “it’s fine with us.”

    By the way, if by this Jewdar does, in fact, represent the editorial board of Heeb in endorsing grown men sucking on the blood of a baby’s penis, let me say that there have been greater surprises.

    The only thing we endorsed was the fact that the moyl didn’t charge anything for the bris; if some moyl wanted to charge nothing and use a pipette, that would be fine with us as well.

    “pedophilia is about sex, not just contact or exposure to naked infants’ private parts.”

    This is the EXACT haredi line, jewdar, and its results have been tragic, because they DON’T allow for the realities that have been hampering the ultra-Orthodox com

    I’m just happy to see an argument that Hesed and I didn’t start lol.
    I’ve never actually even heard of the ceremony in question, but I can’t see any problem with it, a friend of mine converted (to Judaism) recently and they had to do some thing where they

    In a bath, or in a waterbed, because the former is legit, but the latter is definitely a red flag.

    Definitely a bath…I was invited but I declined…seeing my nephew’s bris is one thing, seeing a grown friend of mine nekkid…quite another :P
    Does anyone have waterbeds anymore? They used to be the in thing but you don’t see them around much anymore.

    Well, normal modern people don’t, but you have to figure that the ultra-orthodox would still have them.

    Either that or they’re looking forward to getting them in 40 years…waterbeds are very 80’s…I’m not sure the ultra-orthodox have made it to the 80’s yet…keep an eye out for pinstripes.

    ” a bit of a spaz,” you say Puck……
    or is all your talk of waterbeds making you
    a bit too excited??

    I too, never understood the appeal of waterbeds.
    But I think Puck, the effect is supposed to be ‘return to the womb,’
    not “ocean travel.”

    I’ve spent my whole life avoiding the wombal area, I don’t wanna sleep in one ;)
