Asking for sex in Israel costs 500 dollars

If you believe that having sex with a prostitute is performing rape, then Israel should be your home. The Knesset just passed a law imposing a fine on the male enquiring how much she takes. The fine is 500 dollars. If there is a match and actually they do it, the same fine. It is stupid as well drastic, but less than its Swedish model. This is another of the progressive laws that are five light-years ahead of the prevailing social arrangements in Israel. They try to impose advanced, feminist, unnatural and impossible rules on this Middle Eastern  population, 20% of which is fanatically Muslim. While Sweden imposes these kind of prohibitions on its own Nordic population, Israel tries to do it on traditional Afro-Asian Jews and on the 20% of the population that is fanatically Muslim and hates Western values.

It is well established that the prohibition of prostitution is followed by rapes and violence. Who wins by this law? Since it drives sex underground, it increases the value of the resource that only women have. It should drive unmarried males to legal marriage with assured free sex. The law increases female power and dominion over males. Interestingly, the argument that prostitution is immoral has not been heard, only that whores are victims of the hated, oppressive patriarchy.

In Greece prostitution was not only allowed but there were five different types: the slave girls (price 70 to 200 obols, while one obol is a workday salary), professional musicians for symposia (they could be hired at two obols a day), porne (low class) and heteira (high class) whores, and the sacred temple prostitutes (in Delos, a thousand). The Romans taxed the whole branch.

Fight the Zionist gentrifier

San Francisco  is boiling over with bizarre protest movements. And the Mission District, with its burrito shops and local Latino landmarks abutting pricey townhouses, is Ground Zero for various San Francisco-specific tensions, like gentrification fueled by the region’s tech boom. 

It is practically impossible to achieve a building permit in San Francisco, the new building may shade an existing school (at certain hours of the day) or in the far past it may have had some symbolic or historical significance. All those ideas mixed with growing antisemitism and hate of the Jew. 

Gentrification is an improvement of the quality of a neighborhood, which may or may not harm the underworld inhabiting it. Progress may hurt the poor. Seems to me that the city air is polluted by a smog of drugged lunatic anti-progress liberalism. Under a sober proletarian dictatorship with five year plans, gentrification would be a goal to be achieved.  

Beowulf, the Swede

Since my little daughter is studying to become an English teacher, I am learning in parallel to help her write papers. We are by far the best students of her class. To succeed, I am faking an extreme leftist, feminist, diversity loving PC worldview, but I am truly interested in English literature. 

I never realized that the first English language literary work - Beowulf - was about a Scandinavian hero, a Swede, in fact. The language is considered English, although I did not understand a word and the English - except Offa - are absent in it. From the technical point of view, the poem is written in alliterative verse, that is, the repetition of initial sounds of words.  Like Spiro Agnew's  "nattering nabobs of negativism." 

Beowulf sails from his home in Geatland (South Sweden) to aid the Danes in their conflict with a monster, that has burned down their  communal beer hall. In short, the Swede kills the monster and his mother too with his sword Hrunting so the Danes may continue getting drunk safely. 

How is that this small primitive clans developed into the great English nation, that brought us the Industrial Revolution and civilized the planet? I have to learn more to discover the connection.

Melania in battle boots

Melania is a monumental woman and now she has a dream budget to dress as she wishes. While her predecessor acquired her tastes in the Black suburbs of Chicago, loving vivid contrasting colors, this lady grew up in rural Eastern Europe and dresses accordingly. Visiting the troops in Iraq she wears Timberlake battle boots,  and then back in the States skin-colored yoga tights and mini "mini". She has a good posture,  knows how to walk and could be fantastic in promoting  American fashion industry, but she is not. 

A day in the Court

Yesterday I was called as an expert witness in a dispute. One side: an elderly cancer stricken widow. On the other side: two violent looking "plumbers". The woman's home had a small blot of humidity. They came and they broke the walls in order to change the whole pipelines. They took 2000 dollars from the widow and did not finish the job. There is TV program in Israel that tricks plumbers, electricians, etc. to come to repair inexistent failures (like the refrigerator making noise) and to catch them charging for unnecessary work. The plumbers in question were caught by the program, but the judge rejected the submittal because TV programs are not evidence.

The plumbers argument was that today, iron pipes are being replaced by plastic ones, even if they are perfectly serviceable. It is true, but they were called to stop a minuscule inconvenience, normally costing 70 dollars a call. I adopted a grandfatherly tone, praising their professional competence and that I understand their need to maximize the income from each job.

When the leading plumber realized that he was losing, he asked the judge to erase the names of his partners, as he was the boss and the others, his subordinates. That is the law of the criminal underworld. The boss takes the responsibility for the failure. He did not wish to be the next victim of the wave of executions going on in the Israeli criminal underworld. 

Fulfilling my Religious Duties

I am advising a large food company with wastewater issues, and at every observation of regulator, I promise to write down a detailed follow up schedule. I never did so they called the manager to a meeting and demanded to have this control program. Now have another project that never ends.

Walking back I stopped at a jewelry store and asked for the price of gold. 20 dollar per gram plus workmanship. It is a good investment for uncertain times. The religious Russian salesman reminded me of my duty as a Jewish male to give gold presents to my women - three times a year. The Bible expressly says gold. Pessach is coming so I had no choice that buy a gold chain for my third daughter.
