it’s all the fault of steve jobs says idiot chief rabbi

Hey, I know he was less then a perfect person. But Steve Jobs was (to me) a hero in a manner of speaking. It’s very hard to imagine a world he is no longer a part of. That’s just me. So when some pumped up windbag critic spouts crap based on his religious beliefs, and since Jobs isn’t here to defend the error, well heck.  Here I am, I can do no less.

Until I read an article by a total idiot rabbi who also happens to be the chief rabbi idiot here in the UK, I seriously thought that the Arch Bishop of Canterbury was the chief ivory tower loony tune. Even folks who are quite religious concede the archjerk is off his rocker most of the time, in spite of his good education and all his intellectualism.
He probably even reads Cicero in the original. 
He is an appeaser of the left and that isn’t the lone reason he’s living in cloud coo-coo land.  But today …. the chief rabbi has become the arch jerk and replaces the hapless arch bishop as fool of the year.

And it isn’t even Bush’s fault.  No.
It’s all the doing of the late Steve Jobs.
Here … read this. 

Chief Rabbi blames Apple for helping create selfish society
The late Steve Jobs helped create a selfish “i, i, i” consumer culture that has only brought unhappiness, the Chief Rabbi has claimed.

Lord Sacks said that advertising only made shoppers aware of what they did not own, rather than feeling grateful for what they have.

He insisted that a culture in which people cared solely about themselves and their possessions could not last long, and that only faith and spending time with family could bring true happiness.

The Chief Rabbi’s comments are likely to raise eyebrows because he singled out for blame Jobs – the co-founder of Apple who died last month – by likening his iPad tablet computers to the tablets of stone bearing the Ten Commandments given by God to Moses.

Speaking at an interfaith reception attended by the Queen this week, Lord Sacks said: “People are looking for values other than the values of a consumer society. The values of a consumer society really aren’t ones you can live by for terribly long.
“The consumer society was laid down by the late Steve Jobs coming down the mountain with two tablets, iPad one and iPad two, and the result is that we now have a culture of iPod, iPhone, iTune, i, i, i.

“When you’re an individualist, egocentric culture and you only care about ‘i’, you don’t do terribly well.”
He went on: “What does a consumer ethic do? It makes you aware all the time of the things you don’t have instead of thanking God for all the things you do have.
“If in a consumer society, through all the advertising and subtly seductive approaches to it, you’ve got an iPhone but you haven’t got a fourth generation one, the consumer society is in fact the most efficient mechanism ever devised for the creation and distribution of unhappiness.”

Although religious leaders have in recent years used increasingly strong language to condemn banks and politicians over the financial crisis and the gap between rich and poor, few have directly criticised ordinary people for their materialism.

In an attempt to highlight the link between faith and happiness, Lord Sacks pointed out that on the Jewish day of rest, the Shabbat, the devout spend time with their families rather than spending money in shops.

(WTF? They can not do both as a family unit? Some folks actually are most relaxed out shopping. Ever notice how relaxed and happy a woman looks shopping for shoes and handbags?)

The Chief Rabbi, who has represented Britain’s 300,000 Jews since 1991 and is due to step down in 2013, said: “Therefore the answer to the consumer society is the world of faith, which the Jews call the world of Shabbat, where you can’t shop and you can’t spend and you spend your time with things that matter, with family.
“Unless we get back to these values we will succeed in making our children and grandchildren ever unhappier.”

Scuse me there boychick but you are full of crap right up to your ears and the rest is toilet paper. 
You can’t shop? You can’t spend? What’s this jerk want next? 
You can’t think for yourself?  Or maybe like islamic fundamentalists, there is only one prescribed way to be a Jew and that’s define exclusively by this freekin idiot.  And oh btw .... the idyllic picture of the happy family he presents is at odds quite often, with reality.  Often times having to attend a family event is a crashing bore for many. But a duty nonetheless.
I’d rather be out shopping for a new computer. Or maybe ... gasp ... an Apple.

BAD JEW Peiper! Bad.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
