You would think that biking is so common these days that no one would even think twice about it. But it turns out that New York Hasidic Jews had the city sandblast cycling lanes in their Brooklyn neighborhood because they considered it a “religious hazard”. The problem, you see, is that female cyclists are usually scantily clad in the summer, and Hasidic men are too sexually frustrated to deal with that shit. The city caved to their ludicrous demands, but a group of vigilantes have actually repainted the bike lanes in (can you still call yourself that when police see you do it and do nothing?.
Apparently it’s ok to be a segregationist when you’re religious, and like anyone trying to live by some insane orthodoxy, they often demand that rest of the world accommodate their ridiculous beliefs. I remember the Hasidic community in my city tried to force the YWCA to paint their windows in, claiming that it was hard for their male members to avoid staring through them. I had a simple answer to this problem; how about not letting a bunch of delusional wackjobs tell everyone else how to live? Just a crazy idea, I know, but I think it might be a good one.

The solution to rape is not “don’t let those women dress so damn sexy.”
The solution to horny Jews is not “don’t let those women exercise.”

Arg! I hate that I can’t come up with a comment that doesn’t sound anti-Semitic but goddamn it that’s pushy.

I used to think they were “Acidic Jews.” I also thought it was amusing that their name lent itself so readily to puns about how corrosive stupid beliefs were. It’s okay, though, because like all dumb beliefs should be, mine was eventually laughed away.
What the hell is it with Patriarchal religions treating the bigger and more dominant people as victims? I normally don’t condone biblical advice, but if you are having trouble controlling your own swelling erection, then maybe you should cut the fucker off and stop fucking up the world.

“Arg! I hate that I can’t come up with a comment that doesn’t sound anti-Semitic”
That’s the problem when good people(and i assume good because if you were anti-semitic you would just say it) are afraid to TALK about issues, because they will be called an anti this or that.
Fuck them if it’s stupid and wrong call it out. We need athiests with big giant balls and skin made out of iron or else we will get shushed away like noisy 3rd graders.

A bike lane as a “religious hazard”? What’s next, are they going to demand the city coverup those indiscreet crossing sign stick people?

You know what else is a religious hazard? Reality. You can’t sand that! You can try, but you will not be successful.

I’m really tired of Hasidic Jews. I live here in Brooklyn. In fact, I’m not a big fan of Jews, at all. Maybe if they’re non practicing, or young, or cool. You know, the kinds that grew up Jewish but are now part of our world. I feel as though most Jews in this city believe that they are allowed to do whatever they want and have special rules for them. It pisses me off because I used to work in an area of Brooklyn with shit loads of Jews (18th Avenue. If you’re from Bk, you know what I’m talking about). I was so fed up with the way they drove and how their little children would stare because I was obviously “not one of them”. One little boy even talked to his dad in their shit language in the elevator with me and kept looking at me. I wanted to smack the little runt but luckily the floor came. Ughhh!!!! Fucking Jews!!!!!

I have been going through the same thing lately. I have always been tolerant but suddenly I am so tired of Jews and their “chosen people” nonsense. They are the chosen people, so the self-centered self-obsessed jewish mother can buy a gigantic stroller to cram on to our buildings small elevator and then raise her hand to the rest of us and tell us we should walk. I so wanted to punch her in her ugly jew face. I started thinking what have these jews done for us? their food is awful, their women are ugly – and their control of money is killing America. The Great recession was caused by the greedy jews on wall street and now Ben the fucking jew Bernanke is keeping interest rates at 0 so Savers give money back to the jew bankers – I am really starting to hate jews!

It’s the Hasidic who are the problem, not the non-Hasidic. I’ll grant you, the ultra-Orthodox are repulsive and incapable of allowing others to live their own lives. But here’s a little secret: Other Jews can’t stand them either. I know. I’m one of them.

Fuck them all—lazy cocksucking pieces of shit! What a bunch of pandering whining cunts! How about a nice pulled pork sandwich you Jew cocksuckers?

I used to like jews till recently. I called a number on the craigslist to get my TV fixeed. The ad went like “I can fix anything cheap, will work hard to win your business.” I call the guy up and he had a real annoying voice. He told me before he could service the TV, I had to take it off the wall and read him the numbers on the back. Sounds easy but I have an old plasma TV weighing 80+ lbs hanging over furniture and I live alone. I can lift 80lobs but this would, due to the geometry, be a two man job. I told him, I need his help and I can pay for the diagnositc. He started to tell me he was jew and he needed to make money for his son’s barmitsva. WTF, i want my TV fixed, not listen to the story of Yentel. So anyway, I called another TV guy since I could not fix the TV myself and have jew tv man come over and collect money for a barmitsva.
After this incident. I started to write my congressman that Iran needs nuclear weapons to protect themselves from being annoyed. Moreover, with our country in debt, we need to let Israel stand on their own, not with our money.
Now I am finding myself becoming more and more anti-semetic and starting to think that the Holycaust never happened, its just hollywood BS so jews can crap all over us.

I never really knew much about Hasidic Jews until I moved to heart of it all. Williamsburg. Had we known what we were getting ourselves into…..I don’t think we would have ever made the move from Manhattan or at least so far South Williamsburg and we’re only near S.4th. Our building management and landlord is hasidic, and sadly, less than a year later, our experience with our management company’s cheap BS “repairs” amongst a myriad of other things has us saying we hate these assholes too. Not only have our bike lanes been removed but our new apartment is constantly experiencing some sort of breakdown they refuse to fix. Our bank is even closed on Saturday and OPEN ON SUNDAY for christssake. We had a dispute withe a neighbor the other day because our landlord is so effing cheap, he refuses to mail our rent bills and instead has the door person slip them under our doors in UNSEALED envelopes…doorperson made a mistake one day and put our cheaper rent bill under someone elses door with a comparable apartment and similar move in dates. We have come to hate these people and it’s terrible. We’ve never despised anyone due to any culture or skin color and it almost feels uncomfortable to hate them but we really despise them.
