What is it about all these stupid manners anyway? If she was talking about how to be more kind and care about other people emotions that would make sense- but even if any of her suggestions were actually reasonable (oh my god- how clueless can this lady be) who gave her the kingdom?<BR/>It's this same brain numbing control strategies (through being "proper") that lead America to depend so heavily on foreign IQ.Reutblog.kindexcellence.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35250603.post-84553753974300969902008-01-20T23:35:00.000+02:002008-01-20T23:35:00.000+02:002008-01-20T23:35:00.000+02:00You have captured this place perfectly! I am rolling laughing. Last year I was at a movie in Haifa with my dad. It was his first time here in Israel. Some guy's cell phone rang, of course he answered it and of course he was talking loudly. My dad told him, "Shhh," and about 5 people turned to MY DAD and told HIM to shut up.Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03268700531143953236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35250603.post-72509301061007379682008-01-20T21:58:00.000+02:002008-01-20T21:58:00.000+02:002008-01-20T21:58:00.000+02:00"Dude, people are smoking IN THE MALL here. Do you think they give a rat's ass about whispering?"<BR/><BR/>Bahn,<BR/><BR/>That line killed me! Like Israelis know how to whisper.<BR/><BR/>I was standing at the meat counter last week, when a women cut me. I told her, "slicha, g'veret, hayiti poh" (sorry, lady, but I was here). She gave me that look like, "well, if you're going to be all catty about it". In my head I told her to *?%! off, but out loud I smiled sweetly and put my order in.<BR/><BR/>Freir, indeed.Bailahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14115498582378133552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35250603.post-46568213675528751952008-01-20T17:36:00.000+02:002008-01-20T17:36:00.000+02:002008-01-20T17:36:00.000+02:00I don't know if that made me homeland sick or EXTREMELY happy to be back.
