There are degrees of Orthodoxy. Modern Orthodox is less concerned with the dress code.

You can be Orthodox and not wear a yalmulke. Orthodoxy is about keeping three things: Sabbath, Kosher, and Mikvah.

This is true, but he’s still very much in the limelight and always was. He’s an instigator, fanning flames. It’s still his role.

I just read this article that we spend billions on putting tens of thousands of troops in Japan every year. Japan!

What’s interesting about Iran, and about most of the Arab states, is that they’re not exactly well-defined countries. As we’ve seen with Libya, Syria, etc. They’re tribal states, loosely held together by disintegrating borders. A nuclear response would be beside the point.  

Also, while the whole bait and switch for Sherlock to survive his “death” from Moriarty in the past season. (Wait. Two seasons ago?) was really cool while watching, but later you sat there trying to piece everything together and it made no sense.

Preach. Whenever Mycroft comes on screen, I always think, “Hugh Laurie would have delivered a MUCH better line.”

Somehow I ended up watching this YouTube video, and it scared the pants off me. They WILL get nuclear capacity. And Ahmadinejad is like ten Trumps in one. 

Is “polyamorous” a code word for “never having just one sexual partner because I like to have sex”?

I find it odd that her conclusion is that because something is work, it’s obviously meant not to be. Name me one thing that’s truly good in this world that doesn’t require work?

Everyone knows that the best things come with no work at all.

Too far. Is it cool to blame parents for autism now?

Leaving aside the stupid vaccine discussion, let’s stop pretending that autism has always been around in these kinds of numbers. It’s false. There IS an increase. It’s not about diagnostics.

Exactly! Why is this point being buried in the comments?

This should be at the top of the comments.

Well said!

Lol. “A Jew student”? Racist much?

You’re so right. It does become difficult to criticize Israel - although their newspaper, Haaretz, does so daily, because the fear is that it will legitimize anti-semitic arguments.

Iran (Ahmadinejad in particualr) has vowed to exterminate Jews and the state of Israel. Israel has never vowed anything of the sort.
