The word "serious" is odd. A person can be serious or silly without regard to degree of religiosity. As for whether Orthodox Jews follow Judaism more stringently than Reform Jews, this is simply a fact. Orthodox Jews are more concerned about following Jewish Law, more concerned about Jewish Theology, and more concerned about the Divine, than Reform Jews are.
Because Orthodox Jews are seen as being more principled, more loyal (to tradition), more contemplative and circumspect, and less likely to be led astray. This is because of their adherence to the Torah and its laws, values and attitudes.
Here is a small sampling of Jewish attitudes.
1) Every human being is as important as the entire universe (Mishna, Sanhedrin 4:5).
2) Our actions, thoughts and speech create ripples that spread throughout eternity.
3) Everything is a test.
4) The only temporal thing that you really own is time; and not much of that either. Every moment is golden.
5) To be Jewish, almost by definition, is to be happy, content, and optimistic.
6) Our soul (yes, humans possess a soul) - yearns for God; and this emotion won't be assuaged with food, money or pleasures.
7) The truth is much more interesting than fiction. The Torah will not only reveal its own secrets to those who study it; it will also reveal the secrets of history, and the inner workings of men's minds.
Orthodox Jews are the people that want to keep tradition. Reform want 2 change things. I think that Orthodox Jews chose to break away from orthodox tradition and become reform Jews because they didn't like the whole tradition of orthodox Jews and all the rules they had to stick to such as observe all 613 laws as strictly as possible. So I think they changed so that they could have a bit more freedom from all these rules although there were still rules being reform Jews but at least if they change to reform Jews it changes (reform means change things).
I think it only applies to Orthodox Jews. I'm Reform, and we stay inside the chapel or sanctuary and read Psalm 23.
they don't give a care
as of 2013 All Orthodox churches teach that gay people are sinners, and most will not allow gay people as members unless they are celibate.
Reform - think tank - was created in 2001.

Good question. I don't think Orthodox Jews allow it, but the Reform Jews might. It depends on the rules of wherever the wedding is being held and if their pets can handle large crowds.
because most of the people started to disagree with the laws

I think you're asking about Orthodox Jews - they do business with most people, but stick with their own kind.
No, killing is not funny at all, killing is serious and sad.
