That's probably it.
New pastime in Israel--hit the earbud pedestrian! & so the law ends up enforcing itself--as soon as word is out that drivers are protected in hitting earbud-wearing pedestrians, pedestrians--at least the smart ones--won't cross the street with earbuds on. Brilliant!

i was going to say that. i normally would think that it's a stupid law but have you seen israelis drive? holy mother of mishka!! have you seen israeli bus drivers drive? but yeah, i agree with the sentiment expressed by fugazifan, the thing is that governments worldwide are now taking a sort of nanny role, making laws to protect grown adults like if they were little children "you can't do this, is bad for you; it's against the law to do that , it's for your own good". it's retarded. i wouldn't be surprised if they raised the majority of age to 35 in a few years. |

if governments act like the people are half brain dead and treat them as such, the public will begin to believe it and act half brain-dead.

it should be compulsory for everyone to hold hands while crossing the street.

Why make a law out of it? Why not just emphasize headphones as a ruling factor of fault on the pedestrians part in such crosswalk incidents? Making a law out of every little fucking thing is stupid and abusive.

in Ottawa spitting on the street is against the law. Nobody reinforces it though. I don't think a law like having headphones on whie crossing the road would be heavily enforced, but it's really based on the area. Where I live, I was caught for drugs and the officer said "Just don't do it again" and didn't even take it away from me.

that's because the orthodox camp has a monopoly on the marriage. so it's not just the jewish thing-- it has to be an orthodox ceremony. if you marriage was performed by a conservative rabbi or, worse even, a reform one, your marriage is not valid. fortunately as a nation they must recognize marriages from other countries so some israelis will take a boat to cyprus and get married there (not sure if this has changed as of late). a friend of mine did that & then had a reform ceremony to square things up religiously. divorces, by the way, are even worse than that! don't let me get started on that... |

Nice Jewish girls and boysJews accounted for most of the leading male performers as well as a sizeable number of female stars in porn movies of the 1970s and 80s. The doyen of the Hebrew studs is Ron Jeremy. Known in the trade as 'the Hedgehog' Jeremy is one of America's biggest porn stars. The 51-year-old Jeremy was raised in an upper-middle-class Jewish family in Flushing, Queens, and has since appeared in more than 1,600 adult movies, as well as directing over 100. Jeremy has achieved iconic status in America, a hero to males of all ages, Jewish and gentile alike - he's the nebbischy, fat, hairy, ugly guy who gets to bed dozens of beautiful women. He presents an image of a modern-day King David, a Jewish superstud who supersedes the traditional heroes of Jewish lore. No sallow Talmud scholar he. His stature was recently cemented with the release of a pornomentary about his life, Porn Star: The Legend of Ron Jeremy. As probably the most famous Jewish male porn star, Jeremy has done wonders for the psyche of Jewish men in America. Jeremy has also just released a compilation CD, Bang-A-Long-With Ron Jeremy. For 9.99 (including delivery), the lucky listener gets to enjoy Jeremy's hand-picked favourite porno grooves along with narration by 'the legend' himself. As the publicity blurb gushes, 'Out of the brown paper wrappings and into the mainstream.' Seymore Butts, aka Adam Glasser, is everything that Jeremy is not: young, handsome and toned. Glasser, a 39-year-old New York Jew, opened a gym in 1991 in Los Angeles. When no one joined, he borrowed a video camera for 24 hours, went to a nearby strip club, recruited a woman, then headed back to his gym and started shooting. Although the movie stank, with a bit of chutzpah and a few business cards he wangled a deal with a manufacturer and started cranking out films. Within a few years, 'Seymore Butts,' his nom de porn which is simultaneously his sales pitch, became one of the largest franchises in the adult-film business. As the king of the gonzo genre (marked by handheld cameras, the illusion of spontaneity and a low-tech aesthetic meant to suggest reality), he is today probably the most famous Jewish porn mogul. Seymore Inc., his production company, releases about 36 films annually, most of them shot for less than $15,000, each of them grossing more than 10 times that sum. Glasser employs 12 people, including his mother and cousin Stevie as respectively genial company accountant (and matchmaker for her single son) and lovable but roguish general gopher. Glasser currently even has his own reality TV show (also broadcast on Channel 4), a ten-episode docu-soap called Family Business, whose opening credits show Glasser's barmitzvah photo. In search of a buckJews became involved in the porn industry for much the same reasons that their co-religionists became involved in Hollywood. They were attracted to an industry primarily because it admitted them. Its newness meant that restrictive barriers had not yet been erected, as they had in so many other areas of American life. In porn, there was no discrimination against Jews. During the early part of the twentieth century, an entrepreneur did not require large sums of money to make a start in the film business; cinema was considered a passing fad. In the porn business, it was similarly straightforward to get going. To show 'stag.' movies or loops, as they were known, all one needed was a projector, screen and a few chairs. Not tied up with the status quo and with nothing to lose by innovation, Jews were open to new ways of doing business. Gertzman explains that "Jews, when they found themselves excluded from a field of endeavour, turned to a profession in which they sensed they could eventually thrive by cooperating with colleagues in a community of effort . . . Jews have for a very long time cultivated the temperament and talents of middlemen, and they are proud of these abilities".The adult entertainment business required something that Jews possessed in abundance: chutzpah. Early Jewish pornographers were marketing geniuses and ambitious entrepreneurs whose toughness, intelligence and boundless self-confidence were responsible for their successes. Of course, the large number of Jews in porn were mainly motivated by the desire to make profits. Just as their counterparts in Hollywood provided a dream factory for Americans, a blank screen upon which the Jewish moguls.' visions of America could be created and projected, so the porn-moguls displayed a talent for understanding public tastes. What better way to provide the stuff of dreams and fantasies than through the adult-entertainment industry? Performers did porn for the money. As ADL National Director Abraham H. Foxman commented, 'Those Jews who enter the pornography industry have done so as individuals pursuing the American dream..' Secular sexLike their mainstream counterparts, Jews who enter porn do not usually do so as representatives of their religious group. Most of the performers and pornographers are Jewish culturally but not religiously. Many are entirely secular, Jews in name only. Sturman, however, identified as a Jew - he was a generous donator to Jewish charities - and performer Richard Pacheco once interviewed to be a rabbinical student. Very few, if any, porn films have overtly Jewish themes, although Jeremy once tried to get several Jewish porn stars together to make a kosher porn film. The exception is Debbie Duz Dishes, in which Nina Hartley plays a sexually insatiable Jewish housewife who enjoys sex with anyone who rings the doorbell. It has sold very well, spawned a couple of sequels and is currently very hard to buy - perhaps indicating a new niche to exploit. Indeed, according to an editorial on the World Union of Jewish Students website, "there are thousands of people searching for Jewish porn. After things like Jewish calendar, Jewish singles, Jewish dating, and Jewish festivals comes 'Jewish porn.' in the list of top search keywords that GoTo.com provide".

i am not an idiot i am aware of basic hman rights being violated on a larger scale i actually live here and dont get all of my facts from the media, but from day to day experiance ibut i still have a right to feel that my rights are being violated yes aravs die yes jews in sderot die does that mean that there are no other problems? i was talking to my brother about this and we agreed that most israelis have lost all personal ideals, you talk to them about one thing and they say "how can you care about that when blah blah blah is going on" thats why its so easy for the governments to pull this shit, cause people are to apathic or worried about other shit to care. does that mean that i care less about other things, no. but why cant it also be a problem. you seem to have such a great handle on how day to day life goes in israel, especially from cozy LA 10,000 miles away or so.
