watch: extra ammo, 4 frags each, claymores out, and stay alert men 'cause they'll be back.

#6 There is a downside, though. Look up agunah on the net.

#7 How is an agunah different from a Catholic woman granted a divorce and not able to re-marry in a Catholic church? Instead of changing arcane and disputable doctrine about divorce, they cynically provide annulments and pretend the marriage, even with children, never existed. Fooey.

The problem here is not either Jewish or Catholic law, it is one of intransigence on the part of Jewish and Catholic leaders trying to retain silly and stupid uncertain edicts with no real foundation, but plenty of precedent, in Talmudic or Canon Law.

Using the excuse "It's not in the Pentatuch," or "It's not in the New Testament,", "but we've been doing it for so long that we don't feel like changing it", is just stupidly cruel.

Islam, of course, is the winner hands down in the stupid, arcane, and unsubstantiated adherence to whimsical additions to their doctrines. Such as interpreting "women should dress and act modestly", as meaning that they have to be covered from head to toe, never go outside without escort, never drive or go to school.

Triple fooey.
