I wish that the market for all types of specialized gyms were better- it would go a long way at fostering a community, rather than the mega factory gyms.

I guess, the idea is that they've become part of the community and they shouldn;t have to.

Labor is a process that lasts hours.

It is completely crazy. And the fucked up thing, is that the bones of our legal system are really good.

I think it's because he's charming.

Don't worry, sentences for other crimes are much less. Rape somebody and you can be out in as little as 3 months or endanger many lives with a DUI and just get probation.

If they start improving the pastries, this will be a good thing for everyone.

Well, yes and no. Israel is racist. I just don't see how it is more racist than others but held to a higher standard than everyone else. The usual reason that Israel comes under more stringent scrutiny is that Israel is a Jewish country. Sometimes it's not.

I love the snake feather one. So cute, classic. Why don;t I have an occasion for these things?

1. Africa has been portrayed that way, but it is mostly ignored by the media. While this is bullshit and terrible, and means that good aspects of Africa are ignored, it also means that there is less criticism of Africa. North Africa and the Arab spring have been hailed as amazingly progressive, yet Israel is…

I think Israel is treated differently (and deservedly so) because what they contribute to US Intelligence is so valuable. Plus technology that comes out of Israel and Israel's place in the world economy are incredible for what Israel is, how long it has been and where it is.

I definitely agree that Israel deserves to be condemned for what it does. But I also feel that it gets condemned more readily than other countries. And my comment about the alternative is a heading off of people who claim that Israel should not exist at all.

I know how you feel about Ikea and yet my boyfriends dislike of buying things means that it is even more trying to go with him than without him, yet I still want him to come!

Someone posted about Israel pushing back their borders- which is precisely why refugees and immigrants are not welcome- they are dealing with population pressures while surrounded by combatants on all sides.

Isn't that so frustrating? You try and support them and they pull that kind of crap.

Israel is plenty racist.

Unfortunately, what is the alternative? The destruction of the state of Israel and the dismantling of the rights of women and non- Muslims? The reason that these refugees are in Israel is because the alternative surrounds Israel- and they would be worse off there.

They can- but as mentioned in a previous article today, the Haredi Jews (very conservative) are growing faster because of higher birth rates.

You are over simplifying a very complex situation.

pointless at of self-promotion.
