It's not that they're not scary in what they stand for, it's just that they look so ab-so-loutely redicilous with those wooly pancakes on their head, showing only their curly locks.<br /><br />Really, any god who demands SUCH a silly dresscode for it's followers should not be taken serious.Patrick Kannenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-362590194397112658.post-82746272322617543242010-04-25T12:22:36.000-04:002010-04-25T12:22:36.000-04:00I just want to point out that the guy at 2:06 is c...I just want to point out that the guy at 2:06 is completely wrong.<br />The settelers in the territory that later would become the state of Israel were dissenters from the religious views of their communities and families, some were non-religious and even atheists, and considered themselves Jewish by culture alone.<br /><br />The ultra orthodox in Israel have their own (government funded) school system where they learn almost strictly Judaism, and have little to no knowledge of the history of the state of Israel.<br /><br />The poles holding the wires you see cut in the video are being stealthily installed in the secular neighbourhoods against city regulations, slowly extpading the territory where the religious allow themselves to live, which is part of the tactic to try to overwhelm secular people into leaving.

The guy running the only gay bar "Shusan" in Jerusalem eventually left and moved to Tel Aviv.<br /><br />But don´t be fooled into thinkinng that the orthodox will limit themselves to Jerusalem. The GLBT youth centre massacre in TLV last year is proof of that.<br /><br />The government better cut the subsidies of these people now.
