“Highly doubtful. More like lame, lethargic people taking up seats too long just “facebooking” and other forms of inane surfing”
umm, like brownstonering???
yeah it’s kinda weird when you walk into a coffee shop and youre like uh did i just walk into a computer lab?
*rob*
I’m sure this rabbi and his sons tormented the wife/mother as well. She probably feared for her life and in fact, this would be the best way to get rid of them for good.
But. like I said above, she is as guilty as they are for not coming forward sooner and getting her daughters out of there.
rh, I don’t think these people sitting in cafes have 4 bloomberg screens open at the same time and making money for their clients and themselves, do you???
Re: the article on sexual abuse–seems like women are viewed as second class citizens by this religious group…why in the world the mother would help the abusers escape is beyond me.
Never understood why people need to “work” in a cafe. Last time I was in a place with wireless and lots of users, there were limited tables designate for Internet access use.
I got curious and looked over from my non Internet table at what two women were furiously and very intently working on. They were both facebooking and were there before I sat down and there when I left.
You really thinks all of them sitting there are being “creative and entrepreneurial?”
ROTFLMMFAO
The mere fact that they are sitting there means that someone is subsidizing them.
@DIBS, yeah, but being on Brownstoner all day is a much better use of time.
