What do you think about the banning of the net by the orthodoxy because of the potential for abuse. Would they ban picture books and magazines because some magazines
have pornographic content?

And I'm typing this on the computer of my brother, who's Orthodox and a computer engineer.

You make it sounds as if there's a single Orthodox authority who makes pronouncements.

It was a group in Israel that pronounced th ban. It was specifically against the net and not computer programming in general. I just poiinted it out to show how far some groups will take their beliefs. Also Agudat Israel runs Project COPE which teaches computer programming, I know because I went there.

At least they don't strap bombs to themselves and blow themselves up on buses, unlike a certain peaceful religion we know.

No we just blow up villages and inspire all this hatred. Just why the UN didn't give the Palestinaians their own state to circumvent all of this escapes me.

You're insane. The Israelis have not blown up villages. When was the last time an Israeli blew up a Palestinian bus? Or bombed an open marketplace in order to kill innocent civilians?

Islam is a death cult that uses women and children to kill innocent people. And they'll kill you if you ever criticize their pedophilic prophet.

(RMG's reply: The've gone inot Palestinian villages and bulldozed houses etc.. The situation is quite bad on both sides of the fence and I'm Jewish and my people don't look like saints either right now.)

(RMG's reply: They've gone into Arab territories and killed people. Not civilians in suicide attempts, I grant us that but my question is why hasn't a solution been worked on to end all this misery on both sides. And if you think the current situation is bad wait another 30 years if they don't have a state. What's going on now will look like Tiny Tim's all time classic "Tip toe through the Tulips".)

(RMG's reply: Plenty of people died in the Crusades and Inquisition and were burnt in makket placws. Judaism was caught in the middle of a lot of wars too. What's insane is the current picture of religious intolerance that seems inherent in the monotheistic religions.)


that uses women and children to kill innocent people. And they'll kill you if you ever criticize their pedophilic prophet.

(I've been threatened with death by my own family because of my fighting Lubavitch. And the Christians killed people too for blasphemy quote unquote. I think the world needs a new breath of fresh air.)

Atheists killed MILLIONS in the Soviet Union. I guess those don't could because they weren't killed by Christians or Jews.

The number of dead from the Crusades was 150 million. Pretty up there for religions of love and peace. There's got to be a way out of this.

Proof please.
