    Rabbi issues internet sex prayer

    An Israeli rabbi has composed a prayer to enable religious computer users to repent for visiting internet sex sites.
    Shlomo Eliyahu, the chief rabbi of the town of Safed, said he was responding to a deluge of queries from worried Orthodox Jews, Israeli media reported.

    The benediction reads: "Please God, help me cleanse the computer of viruses and evil photographs...so that I shall be able to cleanse myself."

    Rabbi Eliyahu said Jews should recite the prayer when they log onto the web.

    He also suggested devout surfers programme their computers to flash the prayer on the screen if they enter a pornographic website intentionally or by mistake.

    Yes Mr Nobb Oddy, they're praying to get you out of existance! Does it hurt?

    Crazy orthodox people...

    Damn it Solaris, here I am, supposed to be the administrator responsible for whacky news at UnNamed and I entirely missed that one. I really have to visit bbc more frequently, 'less I want to miss out on all the savvy.

    Oh well... *copy, paste, give Solaris all the credit.* :)

    Besides, you're soon at 1000, friend. What kind of title are we going to give you anyway? Forum Jester?

    I reached 1000 ages ago, but I'm still like a normal member. Just a reminder that calculated spam and friendships in high places will take you places like nothing else will, except maybe a twisted sense of humor.

    Ummm... I post a lot... I guess.

    I mean, I know I've spammed, especially when I first got here, but yeah, I reached 1000 posts a few weeks, or may be a month or two ago, but yeah. I've thrown out some useless posts, but then I like to think that a lot of my posts were useful in relation to whatever the conversation was focused on at the time.

    Probably just an excuse for people to be able to gaze upon your fabulous avatar 100 posts early. That thing is, like, totally awesome. 8)

    It's a cat. I hate cats. We have a cat. all it does is sleep, puke, eat, and shit. it doesn't cuddle with anyone, it doesn't do anything cute or nice, it just eats,shits,pukes,and sleeps. Usually in that order. I got my special avatar around 300, though wether or not that was a good thing is questionable. I remember me and Sleek were tied for posts for a long while, and he had around 600-700 when I left, and he's up to 1133. That's what, 400 or so in a few months? I myself am not posting spam, but if I posted *that* much, I'd be banned. ... again. interesting the way the tables will kick one former-spammer, but not another eh? I personally can't understand a society of people who dislike of masterbation/pornography so strongly. I am very glad that I am American, cause that means that I can get off to just about anything I want to. Who would want to live in a country where they aren't allowed to masterbate or look at porn because they might insult "Buddha"*, or who ever their ruling god is.




    *ok, I can't remember the name of the Muslim god, so I simply put in the name of a different non-christian god. Oh, and I do know that Buddha isn't truly a 'god', but oh well, he's followed like one.

    I love cats. They're so damn cool. The only bad thing about my cat is the amount of birds he kills, as well as fighting.

    The Muslim god is referred to as Allah.

    I'm neutral about cats, because they're smarter than dogs, but dogs are more playful.

    It's Allah, dipshit.

    Does this have anything to do with you being a selfish bastard who can't empathize with anyone but his own tragic self?

    Fighting cats are great. My cat Wolfie is the alpha male in this area, and he controls such a large territory that all the neighbors' cats have made themselves scarce. Very convenient, as I let my rabbits outside several hours a day and can rest easy knowing Wolfie's on the prowl.

    Not necessarily. Sure the average cat is smarter than the average stupid, useless, pissant, foetus-sized dog, but what the hell isn't? Normal dogs are about as intelligent as normal cats but their culture is just different.

    I'm not selfish, I just can't stand the damn thing. Some cats are alright, but in general I dislike cats. I think that comes from having grown up with several cats who took great joy out of clawing me, and running away. Our cat is 14-15 years old. The thing is close to being older than myself, if it isn't. Just because you like cats doesn't mean you need to call me selfish. If you knew me you wouldn't call me that, but, of course, you don't, you won't, and your going to be damned stubborn about changing your opinion, so forget it. You can obsess over your cats and your bunnies, I'll go hang out with some friends instead. I don't like dogs much either, though. I'm not an animal hater, I just don't enjoy the company of either form of furry creature.

    Cats and (normal) dogs are generally excellent judges of character. Perhaps they know something about you that you haven't come to terms with yet yourself. I'd never trust anyone who wasn't liked by animals.

    I'm inclined to disagree with you there, Canis. Our neighbours have a really shy cat, who didn't run away when I came near her, and she even let me stroke her. If you knew this cat, that's really weird. AS you all know I"m an asshole.

    Im afraid that a cat would try to still my breath when I'm sleeping. Thats why their eyes glow at night, to have a better advantage of stealing my breath. Plus, cleaning a litter box sucks.

    You're not always an asshole. I've known you to make a decent post here and there. Who knows, maybe after you get over this rough patch of adolescence you'll turn out to be a normal, semi-tolerable young man. ;)

    Or maybe the cat's just senile.

    The biggest difference between the intelligence of a cat and a dog is that cats are smart enough to run, while dogs sniff around, which is why dogs tend to get hit by cars more often than cats.
