  • Lets all become Jews!

    No - I am not a jew. But if I was a jew and you were a jew the world could save a lot of energy. Why?

    Well look at where we are right now in the world. The media both offline and online is full of people whining about "The price of oil bla bla" ... "The price of electricity that. Moan. Moan. Moan."

    Well instead of moaning, yours truly has THE solution.

    Just so we are clear, let me re-type my first line:

    Lets all become Jews

    Why?

    Ok. This is simple so simple. Let yours truly answer a question with a question. Here goes ...

    What do Jew's do (or meant to do) on sundown Friday till Saturday evening?

    Jew's rest on one day of the week. Jew's practice the Sabbath.

    I am no jew, my foreskin is in its place so I am not an expert here. But here is what I know ..

    I know that Jew's who practice the Sabbath do so in accordance with certain rules. These rules prevent travel. And limit the use electricity.

    So assume for one moment that everyone is a jew. You. Me. Your friends. Your family. Your dog. The world.

    And on Friday when the sun went down till Saturday evening every week, we all practised the Sabbath and did not travel and limited our use of electricity, what would that mean for the world?

    I'll tell you what it would mean.

    It would mean we would all save loads of energy (and moulah too!). Like tons of it. If we were all NOT travelling on one day of the week and limiting our use of electricity that would be like nearly a 15% reduction in energy usage right there!

    Do you concur?


    So whats goin' on world, when are we all going to go Jewish and save the world? Drop me a comment - don't be a stranger.

You really have no clue on this, do ya? Why not propose that we all flap our arms and fly to work, thus saving gas?

And this solution is equally stupid. All you are doing is time shifting consumption and increasing supply chain use due to stockpiling. This is like not buying gas on mondays - the same amount of gas gets used in the long run. There might be some marginal difference due to inefficiency constraints, but this isn’t a sustainable or even rational solution.

Here’s an idea - lets save electrons by not posting incredibly dumb ideas.

gnomic, why so serious?

Anyway gnomic, those electrons were well spent - you commented, you understand?

The real solution is for countries to build more Nuclear Power stations and invest in fuel cell technology for future cars, planes and trains. But people like you who like to whine like a little girl wherever and whenever possible would probably disagree, I suppose you would rather we waste time with silly Windmills yes?

Alan!

Brilliant as usual. Seeing the possibilities where others see absurdity. Rather, where others don’t even see.

Your first commenter (or is it commentator).. completely ‘misses’ the depth and largess of your idea. It’s not saved up and reserved for another day. Its NOT USED. Simple. Easy. Fact. Many of us would love to get an extra 24 hours in the week to make up for that ‘downtime’ when we are not traveling, using our computers, etc.. but alas it is not to be.

Peace :)

oh btw - go take care of that extra skin.

All the cool kids are doing it, and you heard what Nicole Richie stated about her preferences.

I suspect Paris Hilton feels the same way.

Just do it.

I agree that Jewbalization is a noble first step. But why stop there?

Why don’t we all become Amish?

Think about it. Cool clothes, nifty beards, oh and the manual butter churning…yummy! Even Paris Hilton would agree, that is hot. Best of all…no electricity consumption and the use of contraception is prohibited!

Ps. I agree with Andrea. Jews don’t have the market cornered on circumcision. Nip the tip foreskin boy.
