Here are five examples between Wallabout Street and Myrtle Avenue. Catching Up on the Bedford Avenue Building Boom [Brownstoner]

Catching Up on the Bedford Avenue Building Boom [Brownstoner]
Jesus was a Jew. Care to keep insulting Jews?
Legion is a neoconservative with limited intellectual capacity – Just like Bush. If men were made to have vasectomies, they’d have a little more understanding about the right to one’s body. It’s just easy to be a hypocrite when it isn’t your body.
“Can you leave your body to be eaten by wild animals after your demise?” I’m surprised you asked, since if you die in a place where wild animals abound, it isn’t by choice. You do understand that after you’re dead you don’t get much say so in these things?
As for “fact that millions of women have been liberated from far worse than limited abortion rights, in Afghanistan and Iraq, by American forces.”- you must be the most uneducated, uncomprehending and delusional human being on the face of the planet- except for Bush. Do you even know where those countries are? do you have a clue why we are fighting there? Frankly, We haven’t done anything for civilian women in those countries except render them collateral damage, kill their men and children and destroy their homes.
You know, when I told you to stick your head in a newspaper I thought you understood you had to take it out of your butt first.
you’re very knowledgeable, 10:35. thanks for posting facts and history. Fascinating, actually. Of course while Europe was in the Dark Ages, it was the Arabs who literally saved western science, medicine, and learning in their libraries. Not, I’m sure most of the people on this blog care. they’re having too much fun venting and spewing ignorance and hate. A fifth sounds good about now.
Muslims do not dislike dogs. In many Arab countries families raise soloukies which are highly regarded. They do have a problem with the saliva of dogs though. If the saliva touches them they have to bathe before making prayers.
Islam gave rights to women before women got many of those rights in Western society. They included the right to own property, the right to vote, the right to choose your spouse, etc… Arab men later decided to hold councils to come up with a set of laws -Shariah- to clarify what was written in the Quran. As men ususally do, they fucked shit up. If they were truly Muslim they would not have tried to clarify what God wanted. Much of what we perceive to be “Islam” is actually Arab culture. West African Islam has a distinct West Africa flavor and is now where as restrictive. Since the Arabs were the wealthiest Muslims after oil was found in Arabia (the Saudi part was made up.)Oil was found on the lands of the Saud family. The Saud family and the Wahab family were closely related, it was their brand of Islam Wahabism or Wahabi’s, one of the most extreme, that spread to India which later became Pakistan and Bengaladesh, parts of West Africa and of late Idonesia. If the oil been found on the lands of more moderate factions in Arabia at that time, those families would have then become the “royal’ family and the face of Islam would be very different today. Of course if ‘if’ were a fifth I’d be drunk.
Legion you didnt even have to take it there. A person can’t be pro-choice and defend radical muslims and jews.
She’s looking for rise.
P.S. that last post was me again.
Have a nice day.

bxgrl,
spare us the self-righteous rants about how your body is your right and so and so. Look at a 3-D sonogram of a fetus and tell me that is not a human being inside, even at 4 months it is a miniature person. the fetus can smile, has REM sleep and feels pain. In a civilized society are we not expected to advocate on their behalf? now think about abortion, hey you wanted to bring this up, and think about that small human being slowly torn out of the womb because it is the mother’s “right”.
A responsible society is charged with limiting and defining such a life changing/altering practice, not indiscriminately giving carte blanche because a few feminists beat their chests.
By the way, I like how American liberal women are so militant about rights, but conveniently ignore the fact that millions of women have been liberated from far worse than limited abortion rights, in Afghanistan and Iraq, by American forces. Instead of acknowledging that fact, they prefer to continue their zombie like chant of Bush bad, Bush bad, Bush bad. It is hypocrisy defined.
Here’s a newsflash; your right to your body is an illusion.
Can you walk around with a transmissible disease if you want to? No, you will be quarantined like that imbicile on the plane last year who had multi-drug resistant TB.
Can you take your own life if you want to? no, you will be institutionalized if you try to.
Can you walk down Broadway nude? No you will be arrested if you do.
Can you sell your body for sex? No it is against the law and defined as prostitution.
Can you leave your body to be eaten by wild animals after your demise? No, it goes against health code, your corpse will be taken by the state and frozen instead, while a suitable disposal is determined.
Your so-called rights to your body are constantly being demarcated and defined by the society at large. It’s part of the social contract. Get used to it.
Yeah, you guys are right – fuckin’ Jews ruin everything.
Hey Legion- what rock have you been hiding under re womens rights and gay rights? It is fundamentalist Christian organizations that are suing in the courts over women’s rights (and fyi- a women’s body belongs to her, not the fundamentalists of any religion or any state unless you want to grant the state the right to decide if your male equipment should be left intact or you should be fixed so as to control the population)), fighting a woman’s right to choose, her decision to use birth control, shooting doctors who perform medical procedures they don’t agree with,fighting and launching lawsuits over gay rights.
“Christian” doctors and pharmacists are denying people services based on their fundamentalist beliefs- At least it isn’t the Hasids (one “s”) and the Islamists doing that here.
You might also want to consider the fact that the Bill of rights is not to protect the majoritiy, but to protect the minority from the excess of the majority (look it up). Beleive me, my personal demons have nothing to do with Christians and everything to do with fundamentalists- of any group.
You need to stick your head in a newspaper and keep up with the world and learn a little history. But as we both know, you’re not here for facts or truth.
uhh, does bxgrl have it in for Christians or what?lol.
Hello, we are talking about today. not 1130AD.The crusades were a few hundred years ago.
As far as decimating native populations; isn’t that the story of all mankind? From our ancestors making Neandertals extinct 100,000 years ago to Mongolian hordes, to Persian invaders, to Mayan human sacrafice, to African tribes sending war captives to enslavement, it goes on and on. Every color of humanity. NOT just white christian.
Hey, but you wanted to go there.
Here in modern America, which is what we are talking about. The christian majority has actually evolved over the past 400 years, while hassidic communities look back to 17th century Russia and Muslims look back to 8th century Medina.
Through the judicial,legislative and executive branches America has decided to give women every right they deserve as equals. Something hassidics and strict islamists don’t agree with.
So you would rather go on a rant about the possibility of making abortion a state issue as it should always have been, and what the right wing in america is advocating, rather than face up to the fact that we are living with religious sects who blatently undermine the very idea that women are at all equal (they are instead a form of chattel, if you don’t believe me, check out the latest uproar in France where a French, secular, court decided to anull a muslim marriage on the basis that the woman was not a virgin “as promised”, therby demoting all women to the status of packaged meat.)
Hey, but why think of these things when you have an ax to grind with the majority population of America, probably because of your own personal demons, which might be excusable, weren’t for your blatant disregard for historical fact and world trends.

I havent had a lot of dealings w/ Hasidim. I do know this though….nine times out of ten, the last subway seat to fill within any given car will be next to a hasidic male. Sitting 2 seats away nearly guarantees you wont get squished by anyone trying to fit into that middle seat and elbowing you all the way home.
