I really like the idea of putting all sorts of walls between the men and women. I would like to have a wife that covered herself and who wouldn't ever touch another man.

I like romance though, and it seems so right to me, that a woman is just for one man, and a man for one woman. It seems so romantic when I think of having a wife like a Muslim who covers herself from head to toe, and how special she must feel, and how special her husband would feel.

But then I married the head cheer leader, prom Queen, fair Queen that everyone in my town wanted to marry, and she dressed so revealing that it disgusted me after a while.

After we got divorced, I wouldn't even look at a beautiful woman.

After I got divorced, all my friends kept telling me,'' Why in the world do you pick the ugliest girls you can find?''

But they were not ugly to me, I just wanted a woman devoted to me alone.

He worked there while the others went to the kosher deli for lunch.

Your life would have been easier if you had heard this song when you were young.

We had alternative words for that song.

No I will not post them.

To me to shake a hand of the opposite sex has no meaning, just greeting and friendship.

Very deep Jewiah wisdom (and written by a non Jew) in that post. You nailed the idea. Well done.

Well thanks, I learned by trial and error, but it was an old Jewish sage I sat under that changed the way I looked at many things, so I can't take credit for the wisdom he showed me even in looking at Palestinians and Muslims, and that was from him taking up for them when I used to say bad things about them.

He always had a way of looking at life with romance. Freak was always happy and had no reason to be, I never could figure out how he did it.

To be happy all the time.

It's like trying to perceive a number that is to great.

Hiker, there are two very predictable items to that post. Number one, that orthodox men do not want to sit next to women on flights. Number two, that the Huffington Post would find this story and print it to malign the entire Jewish people. Yes it's likely a true story. But Hiker, ask yourself why this is newsworthy?

Actually it was again and again. It happened in October and the Haredi left the plane.

Delta flight reportedly delayed after haredim refuse to set next to opposite sex - St. Louis Jewish Light: National And World News - Delta flight reportedly delayed after haredim refuse to set next to opposite sex: National And World News

Then it happened again (same Delta flight number) with two Haredi males and a woman decided to change seats so the flight could take off.
