There is an interesting controversy in Brooklyn after the city yielded to the Hasidic community in sandblasting off bike lanes on roads. Hasidic leaders complained that they are having trouble obeying their religious law forbidding them from staring at members of the opposite sex with women biking around in shorts. Bicycle advocates have been trying to repaint the lanes.
The Hasidic community has long viewed this enclave as their special area, even though other families and artists have moved in recently. That has caused trouble with the Shomrim Patrol, a Hasidic neighborhood watch group. The Shomrim recently apprehended two cycling advocates who were repainting the lane and called the police. No charges were filed but the bikers were prevented from repainting the lane.
I find it incredible that the city would yield to such demands by a religious group to erase bike lanes. A Department of Transportation spokesman said: “We will continue to work with any community on ways we can make changes to our streets without compromising safety.” However, this is a religious-based objection to women who are not covered. Yet, reports indicate that Mayor Bloomberg wanted to appease the Hasidic community before his recently close election.
Hasidic leaders say that the cyclists endanger families and children. However, this is not the view of the city in creating these lanes and they are found in every major city. The real objection appears to be their lifestyle and the rigid religious beliefs of this sect. It is a clearly improper decision that uses city resources to enforce values of a single religious group.

“Christianity is Judaism for Pagan Gentiles. Women and children, boycott Judaism, Islam, and Christianity. Revert to Paganism.”
You got off to a good start, then took three steps backwards. Pagan? Some “pagans” sacrificed people. No more of that — right? I don’t know what our problem is, but if the answer is “reverting” to “old time religion,” I’m pretty sure we’re asking the wrong questions. Look around. Surrounded by religious fanatics. The goal of religion — “biblical” religion in particular — appears to be to get everyone killed. I could be wrong, but I think we can do better than that.
Happy Solstice.

“Erasing the bike lanes for a religious group violates Separation of Church and State.”
I think you meant to say, “Synagogue” and State.
Thought I’d end the day with a good laugh.
Hmmm, MrB? Bwahahahahaha!
This is how to handle moralizing, pipsqueaking, sanctimonious, psuedo-intellectual hypocrite trolls like MrB: TELL THE TRUTH.
The silence of non-troll “defenders” and enablers of the troll on this thread in response to the catalog of troll evil is deafening — and DAMNING.
What a bunch of feckless troll wannabe pussies. With “friends” like you, the troll doesn’t need enemies.
Oh, Snap!
(Why the Hell am I channelling 80s slang today?)
I hope those grandkids have been keeping you busy, Mike!
MrB,
So awash in your own importance that you think my life should revolve around answering your latest crap? I wasn’t on the computer yesterday, nor was I waiting with bated breath for your latest bigoted production. So many quotes seeming to prove your case, but like much else you do, dishonest and lacking context. All of your quotes come from the Talmud, which is a huge combination of debates of issues and laws.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talmud
That Wiki link above gives an overview, which anyone interested can check out. The Talmud is a collection of Rabbinic opinion dating back more than 2,000 years. The presentation is in debate form, or in a question form. You provided sentences out of context to the entire passage and you did so in a tradition of anti-Jewish diatribe that goes back at least 700 years, when Church people were looking for means to discredit the Jews. The technique was losing full context and/or outright mistranslation. When you are talking about a collection of books, containing thousands of pages and quoting thousands of opinions I’m sure that the interested bigot can find something to prove, what they are already convinced of. Which ant-Jewish website did you copy your citations from, since nothing you’ve written gives indication of any inherant scholarship on your part? you bascally give rote rehashes of anti-Jewish themes that have become hoary with age, but give you comfort because to your limited conceptual view they agree with your pre-conceptions.
now we do get your statement that:
“Me admitting what I am – what a jerk – is not really this issue on this thread. Would it make a difference to you if I was proud to be a free-thinking black man?”
“Well, I’m originally from Michigan…”
“My religious beliefs and political leanings have nothing to do with it. We’re talking about “you.” Typical “Jew” misdirection.”
“I’m married to a Jew, over 30 years, not that it matters, or any of your fucking business, but now that I’ve made it your business, I may not know everything there is to know about THE JEW, but I know a pretentious dick-wad when I see one.”
“Wasn’t too crazy about white people for a while. I got over it.”
So now if we are to believe you, a dubious proposition at best, you are a black man married long term to a Jewish woman and you got over your prejudice against White People. Isn’t that precious and oh so convenient? convenient at least from the perspective of a bigot, who wants to prove his bigotry is come by logically and really impersonal.
However, even if all of that is true you are still in hiding as to your true nature. That is disingenuous. You have an agenda that encompasses, but is much broader than just your anti-Jewishness, but you reveal only the portions of it that suit the interest of your debating tactics.
Now your “wife” could be a Rabbi’s daughter and that would not mean that your are less the bigot. Indeed if she has stayed with you for 30 years one would expect she is a bigot herself and yes Jews come in all flavors, including bigoted ones. Your comments on being black though are I think interesting and telling. Many victims of oppression identify with their oppressors and your curious phrase:
“Wasn’t too crazy about white people for a while. I got over it.”
Sounds that kind of note. My guess is that you are a Christian Conservative, who sniffs the behind and curries favor with those who have oppressed you. Because the suppression of your rage (outrage?)is so tightly under control it gives form in hatred of Jews, liberals too no doubt, as a means of venting. In truth you actually sound much like a more “out there avatar” of bdaman, who in this new personna has freed himself from the strictures of disguising his own bigotry. Please notice that it is purposeful that I use bigotry descriptively, more than anti-Jewish. Jews may be one of your predilictions but bigotry is the name of your game. Bigotry in any of its forms is disgusting and in that sense so are you.
The other bigoted technique that runs in a common thread through your vitriol is to reverse the name calling. You fend off charges of bigotry
by charging Jews with being bigots. As a purported “Black Man” you should be quite familiar with this techniques from after the Civil Rights days, when the White bigots charged Black people with being bigoted against Whites. However, considering that if your are a black man, you are one who is so anxious to kiss White Ass, then of course you would rely on their techniques.
“Your grammar, she’s not so good.”
Ah, you cut me to the quick on that just as did some of my Ivy League graduate school professors, who nonetheless gave me A’s on my papers.
However, you know us Jews, we always find a way.
“Unsolicited psychoanalysis, stereotypes and comic relief. I think we’re both caricatures, you play your part and I play mine. Why break the illusion? “Seething with rage, barely controlled.” Do you write romance novels on the side? How in the world do you expect anyone to take you seriously?
Not “rage.” OUTRAGE. And certainly not focused on “other groups and individuals,” at the moment, anyway. Wasn’t too crazy about white people for a while. I got over it.”
I wasn’t seeking your solicitation and my judgment was not psychoanalysis, but mere analysis, based on your own words. Your manner of writing is angry, vitriolic and tends to be macho in terms of your name-calling. “Outrage” is merely a linguistic attempt to put a better face on the hatred and vitriol that seethes within you, despite your attempts to show self control. You are a pathetic, angry man, who projects your own disappointment with life on others, as do most bigots. This isn’t about material success, but about something within you that you can’t deal with and so project onto others, in a vain attempt to find relief. There is no relief for you as long as you engage in sublimated self-hatred. Now that is an analysis of you that I am confident in, because it’s based solely on your own words.
In fact, there has been another purported black, anti-Jewish bigot on this site of late and I wonder if your MrB isn’t a new identity for bdaman? One that allows the truth of his hatred and bigotry to come out. That is a distinct possibility, but of little moment, since in both instances these pseudonyms convict themselves of bigotry by their own words.
Lastly, despite your need to try to act all macho and insulting in an attempt to get into peoples faces, you really do come off as a silly man, out of his depth.

Mike is celebrating the holidays with his family, Mr. Dipstick. I’m sure when he’s done having his real life, you know – that thing you lack, I’m sure Mike will be back to kick your bigoted ass some more. All to our amusement and your horror.
So. How’s that working for a Jewish Savior working out for you?
Still don’t want to answer that? I can understand why.
Happy Holidays.
And I say Holidays because the only way a bigoted clown such as yourself is going to find Christmas is if Jesus doesn’t see you coming.
knock knock
“Shhhhh! Turn out the lights! It’s that bigot, MrBinary! Yeah, yeah, I still love him. Doesn’t mean I want to see him on a day of celebration though.”
Thought I’d start the day with a good laugh, but I see the punchline hasn’t been back since outed as the racist Jew liar he is.
Hmmm, SPINDELL? Bwahahahahaha!
This is how to handle moralizing, pipsqueaking, sanctimonious, psuedo-intellectual hypocrite Jews like Spindell: TELL THE TRUTH.
The silence of Gentile “defenders” and enablers of the Jew on this thread in response to the catalog of Jew-Talamud evil I provided is deafening — and DAMNING.
What a bunch of feckless Jew wannabe pussies. With “friends” like you, the Jew doesn’t need enemies.
howie,
The Ford Taurus the golden bull being worshipped that got Moses’ all lathered up?
I did not know that. (Read in the voice of the pre-dead Johnny Carson)
Gold is a special order color on that model. Man, it sure is a small and twisted world.
FREAKS.
1st of all, are these people allowed to be driving in the 1st place???
Where in the Torah does it say that the orthodox can drive automobiles???
Moses was very much opposed to the Ford Taurus, no?
Relax, guys. You are no longer in Israel, you don´t need to take every inch and make it a mile. You already have NY, so chill the hell out.
BTW, Binary
Have you seen this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auschwitz_concentration_camp
The Nazi party was run by a Catholic.
Hmm. Spitting on people versus burning them alive. I guess that “tolerance” thing Jesus was so big on only means tolerant of other bigoted jerkwads like yourself according to your malformed Nazi brain.
Have a nice day with your fake version of Jesus, hypocrite.
We have mentioned here SEVERAL TIMES that your Savior is a Jew, right? As a matter of Biblical fact no less.
Just thought I’d keep rubbing that in your face too, troll.
Again, I really hope your son marries a Jewish woman and a Muslim black man and they live happily ever after in a polyamorous relationship having lots and lots of brownish Jewish children raised to respect any religion that endorses love over hate. Mr. Hater.
And that the grandkids treat you like Ricky Bobby’s kids treated their grandfather in “Talladega Nights”:
Walker: I’m ten years old, but I’ll beat your ass!
Texas Ranger: Chip, I’m gonna come at you like a spider monkey!
Happy Holidays . . . Chip.
Oh,that’s right. This is all moot since the only girl you’ve ever kissed is your sister-momma. Not likely to have any viable offspring, are you Mr. 0/1? Not that your parents had viable offspring either. I suppose it’s family tradition when your family tree looks like a stump. Seig Heil, Master Farce.
Enjoy.
Christianity is Judaism for Pagan Gentiles. Women and children, boycott Judaism, Islam, and Christianity. Revert to Paganism.

“Perhaps it’s time to ask ourselves again: Should these nice ladies and their beautiful knees be permitted to travel on their bicycles securely through Brooklyn streets, or not?”
Absolutely not! “Knees” now, but what’s next? A bit of thigh? A belly button? Horrors, a glimpse of cleavage?
Here’s the answer to all our problems, America, or what’s left of her: Anything and everything the Jew finds the least bit offensive should be OUTLAWED. Seems fair to me.
Btw, have you seen the videos of Jews spitting on Christian pilgrims in Jerusalem? Charming, just charming.
Have a Merry Chris — Oops! — HAPPY HOLIDAY!
Nate —
No offense taken, nothing to forgive. Good luck sorting it all out. I do appreciate the “love” some Gentiles feel for the Jewish people. My niece converted, and we’ve discussed it at length. I don’t understand it, all things considered, but I do appreciate it. Love is blind.
I really hope your son marries a Jewish woman and a Muslim black man and they live happily ever after in a polyamorous relationship having lots and lots of brownish Jewish children raised to respect any religion that endorses love over hate. Mr. Hater.
Then you could hate your own grandchildren for multiple reasons, Binary.
That ought to make you happy as a pig wallowing in your brains.
Yes MrB, I can be unseemly, hypocritical, racist too and worse. I don’t want to be but that doesn’t change the fact that sometimes I am.
I’m sorry if I offended you. I hadn’t meant to do so. Please forgive me.
Nate —
That’s the challenge, isn’t it. To love the unloveable.
If sincere, I assume your love for “Jews/people/life” extends to a love for all “Gentile” people.
Unseemly, and hypocritical, to take sides, like you’ve been doing. In reference to a comment you made earilier about taking your own life rather than taking the life of a Jew: Your slip is showing. If you were willing to kill Arabs, or blacks, or whites, or asians — anyone but a JEW — you’re just as racist as they are. The blind stumbling after the blind.
Love and light, baby!
MrB,
You’ve stated your case. I’d like to state mine.
My love for Jews springs not from any equation that shines the light on them. It’s about me: who I want to be, and how I want to live my life.
For the short time I have on this bluebrown merry-go-round, I’d love to spend it in play, pursuing whatever trivial matter has my attention at the given moment. I love having freedom and using that freedom to do what I love. There’s another thing too that I desire: I want to be a noble being. Not that I am, just that I want to be.
So you see, my love for Jews/people/life is nothing more than a reflection of myself.
Anonymously Yours —
What in the wide world of sports are you babbling about! I have my head AND my feet up my arse? Hell, I oughta at least get an “A” for effort.
You bet I’m a defender of Christianity? You bet wrong. Pay up.
Perhaps you could make better use of your time reading and commenting on the racist quotes gleaned from the precious Torah and Talamud I provided.
As a “Christian” (presumably, since you’re Jesus’ favorite), how do you justify attacking me, the bearer of truth, while excusing the blatant racism of the Jew?
FYI, Mr. Anonymous, I know Spindell’s name, it’s called a typo. Only thing you said that made any sense. You’re a fine one to talk. Sixth grade education just doesn’t take you as far as it used to, DOES IT.
MrB,
The wind is blowing and the dogs are howling, however, its time to take your feet and head back to “its” proper resting place.
With what you have just said it appears that you have your head up your ass and you feet have permanently lodged the same.
I bet you are a defender of Christianity? Here’s a fact Mr. B “Arseman” Jesus was a Jew, Jesus was a Jew. It goes like Nah ne na ne nha na….
Oh yeah, I think it is spelled Spindell. FYI….
And Jesus Loves you, but I am his favorite…….
