How come with over 2000 years of history they haven't simply thought of...
...erecting one of these eruv fence things to enclose approximately 1 square foot of land, then SAYING the eruv is the bit on the outside and the rest of the world is the bit on the inside.
Then they never have to worry about this shit on planet earth ever again.
(Or better still they should just stop believing in stupid bullshit.)

There's one in Manchester? Well I never.
Would it be considered disrespectful to peg my underpants out to dry on it?

Were you to do so,
I personally could confer upon you no higher level of respect.

I truly don't understand this
if they are religiously pious enough to observe the Sabbath, why would you want an opt out clause that by definition would be going against the express wishes of the almighty?
God has told them how to live and they are trying to cheat their way around the word and law of god. It sounds terribly unwise to me

It's god's fault for leaving the fishing line loop hole in the old testament.

What's the point of following a strict sect of a religion if you are continually looking for ways to avoid it's edicts?

Those edicts presumably serving some spiritual purpose
which they are trying to break!

Well, the loopholes are now a part of rich cultural heritage too.
Take that, Old Testament God.

Exactly
It's like "I want to be obedient to God, but if he's going to leave loopholes, then....".

As with most dogma, the spirit of the law is lost in the implementation.
I actually worked on a Kibbutz in my gap year and had a fascinating conversation with one of the younger kibbutzniks.
It was an orthodox kibbutz, so meals were properly kosher - they had plates with a red ring around them for meat and a blue ring for dairy. If something meaty touched a blue plate or vice-versa, they'd have to smash the plate.
She explained that the original reason behind not mixing meat and dairy was that you shouldn't eat the meat of the calf whilst drinking the milk of the mother - i.e. don't exploit nature or your natural resources - quite a nice thing to live by...
But by implementing the rules so unthinkingly, they are literally doing the opposite of what was intended by smashing plates because a drop of milk touched a meat plate.
Idiots...

The one here still hasn't gone ahead. It all went quiet after the Paris attacks, although the planning permission was granted.

I lost them on a Sabbath. No Orthodox Jewish people were on their computers. Might be ISIS, Trump or the pope though. I've been rude about them too.

Looking at the website for the one in Manc, they reckon it costs 30k a year to maintain!
Why don't they make something that encircles a square foot in the Printworks and say everything the other-side is the eruv? It'd be a lot cheaper and they could go to the Trafford Centre on a Saturday without god noticing.

Best line He added: ‘Once the poles are there
well the poles are already here does theat mean the UK is now an ERUV?
Why cant they just put a wire coat hanger on there head with it crossed over and string abit of of fishing line from that?
then they can take there bloody eruv where ever they go
did the wire fences around Auswitcs and the other camps count as an eruv?
