Absolutely. Any person that isn’t weak of course. That’s what separates us from animals after all, a conscience and rational thought. Who are you? The Imam who claimed uncovered women are like “spoiled meat”?

If you can’t control your own urges on a personal level, then I suggest you live in a cage and give your master the key.

But let’s be honest and realize that American society is going down the toilet, and the Chassidim are right in pointing out that a large cause of this is blatant sexuality. Look at the creativity in music, film, photography, or advertising in general. Sex sells, and so the difficult craft of communication through media has given way to pushing nakedness on unsuspecting eyes and ears, and the craftsmanship of music- for example- has suffered.

Some of you claim that this is about freedom, but it’s not freedom to give in to your primal instincts. You claim that Torah law is a ball-and-chain, but yet you’re so blind to the fact that your own hormones are a prison. You think it’s a coincidence that the divorce rate in America is insanely high? When a person is taught that they’re free to do whatever they want, and then the hot girl on the bike offers them an opportunity to cheat on their wife secretly, you really think that the person has the strength to make a true choice?

The “freedom” that you advocate by allowing people to do whatever they want is ironically the very thing which strips away true freedom of choice, as it’s actually an insistence that we follow the laws of selfishness and primal instinct. We have enough internal pressure of cheating, having uncontrollable fantasies, etc. and it would be nice to have a truly spiritual environment, void of people who selfishly exploit our weaknesses- whether for personal attention or product sales.

Your great-great-grandparents knew this by the time they were 5. You think you’re on to something new, or that you’re any smarter? hah!

I ride a bike where ever I can. The absolute last reason I do so is to save the environment. I’d rather save my nuts.

I must say that we are much more civil to each other here than the nasty bloggers over at the Wall Street Journal.

It’s the Williamsburg Bridge (the Brooklyn Bridge is really far from Williamsburg).

Rather because their parents refuse to buy them a car on top of rent, food, and “art supplies”.

(Lest anybody starts whining, my brother’s an environmental scientist, and part of what I teach are ecological and enviromental issues, but being “hip” doesn’t equal to environmentally friendly.)

We have something call ” Fair Housing Laws” in N.Y.

Hipsters can move in where ever they want and flaunt their hottness. In fact, I think they should build a hottie bike path in Bnai Brak.

I’m thinking of starting a business where I send “goyim” of various “non-appropriate” appearance (i.e.: black, asain, tattoed, or worst of all: soccer mom in v-neck short sleeve tee shirt, jeans and sneakers) to apply for rentals and then sue each Ortho landlord for discrimination when they turn them away. I think I could make a pound of flesh for that.

very jewlicious: they want their freedoms to practice their religion they way they want, but don’t want to allow anyone freakin’ exercise on a bicycle the way the want to…I think I better dance now.

That’s because you don’t live in NYC, and couldn’t give a rat’s ass if we have bike paths or not. Fuck the Diaspora, right?
