A joke is a joke, now get over it. This was a shore good read. I get hazzed when I post a silly joke at times and people take it the wrong way. People just need to lighten up.

A 4 year old was just expelled from pre-kindergarten for hugging his teacher and his little face touched her boobs. What kinda sick world we living in when a child is punished for a hug.

I sure am glad a lot of these posters are not around to much or we could tangle some more. LOL

Since most of this took place before I joined the gang, I had to read the whole thread. I think that if this was in a room and not over the internet there would have been some serious fist fights.

The little boy (black) was suspended and his parents were ask not to bring him back,(they are seeking council, since he will carry this stigma the rest of his life), the teacher(white) was a teacher's assistant, maybe she needs to be sterilized before she can have kids that may just need a hug. This story has really raised my hackles. I best not run into her on the street or this blue haired old bit*h will kick her real hard where it hurts the most.
There take that you un-huggable twit.

Site story, I listen to the parents when they were interviewed and the Dad was crying about what they said about his son.

I've enjoyed reading through this thread again, and I still agree with Sir Cracked...

WOW - Isn't it great that a thread can still be alive after two and a half years !!

I think the main point is that over the centuries social values and technology change and this makes some rules no longer relevant.

I am sure that today, most fundamentalists agree that slavery is unacceptable, as is selling off your daughter (no matter how tempting the idea may be at times ) even though according to "THe Book Of Rules" it is permissable. Remember slavery was abolished by the efforts of some very religious people (Booth, Lincoln et all) who would have probably been decried as "Lefty Pinko's" by the Religious Right if the term had been around at that time. After all the main reason for slavery was economic, slaves were the farm machinery of the time, once the machine age began, slaves were obsolete.

If Moses came down from the mountain today the debate would probably be if it was a sin to buy a Kubota tractor instead of a John Deere

The original posting by Sir CadCam posed some totally relevent questions after all, If you are one of the faithful, living by "God's Book Of Laws" you just can't pick through them and decide which ones you are going to follow and which ones you aren't !! Isn't the use of non jewish "botton pushers" by Orthodox Jews to operate machinery for them on the Sabbath just a neat bit of hair splitting ? Afterall, "You must not BENEFIT from the operation of a machine" is a quite valid interpretation of The Law and probably more in tune with the original intention of it. However modern city living makes the use such of a loophole a practical neccessity

Technology, society and life in general have changed so much over the last four millenia that no modern person can practically follow the ancient rules. Indeed the only way to be fully live the letter of the law would be to go back to being a subsistance sheep herder on the hills of Palestine and refuse all contact with the modern world.

Personally I loved the post. I copied and pasted it and Emailed it to almost everyone I know.

BTW: This letter/Joke was used in an episode of the West Wing. ( TV show )
