A quote from the Jerusalem Post, Gypsy.
"Considering their small numbers, Jews have fared disproportionately well in lists of the world’s most powerful and richest people, as well as in
Nobel Prizes."
I suppose then, that you are calling the writers of the Jerusalem Post ignorant as well about their own religion. Read what they are saying here
about Jewish influence around the world.

So, its ok for Jews to talk about how successful they are, but no one else can?

Maybe we should calm down a bit, was once asked by my employer, "are you part jewish?" ---- he was the Chairman of the Bank, and happened to be Jewish
--
We tended to have the same approach to "business" -- reduce risk, cut cost and increase the bottom line and treat your customers "right" and always
ask for the order
Didn't find anything "wrong" with that approach IMHO

Agreed, this thread has moved into the realm of the OT. Even an Independent has to support the 1st Amendment. If you Google hate sites you can find a
wonderful and diverse collection.
I ran across hate sites for Eskimos, Bird Watchers, Monaco, Lindsay Lohan, Mexico and The United States.
The Doctora has a track record of making statements that can go both ways or fly off into left field. Her agenda is constantly morphing.
She should be a good influence on on her BFF here on Nomads.

Ensenada Dr you made a blatantly racist and stupid remark.
Choosing to be a member of the Jewish religion is not a racial designation; it is a life choice driven by belief and commitment.
And this opinion is coming from a non-denominational Christian who becomes really irritated when some people expose their prejudices.
|
While I don't totally disagree with your sentiments regarding the remark, I do take issue with your characterization of what makes a person Jewish.
True, it is not a "race", but it is not simply some "life choice," by any means, and it puzzles me why a Christian who obviously has not studied
Jewish history or laws would volunteer such an opinion.

Maybe because I'm half Italian, I don't understand why I am ahead. I also want to know why the Jerusalem Post can say Jews are successful but I
can't. | Quote: | Originally posted by MsTerieus

You are not the only one mystified about all this talk of being "offended", Doctor, or "quitting while you are ahead". I see nothing wrong in what
you said, and additionally I have no idea what Gypsy Jan and Mysterios are talking about.

Nor do they, Barry. To me, it just looked like a cheap-shot opportunity to go on the attack. Totally baseless from where I sit.

As to quips about Jews and money, see:
http://www.adl.org/Anti_semitism/jewsandmoney/default.asp
As to "choosing to be" Jewish, I wonder how many Jews on their way to the ovens would have said it was a "choice."
Merry Christmas everyone, and Happy Chanukah, from this secular Jew.

So, then you are saying that the Jerusalem Post is exhibiting anti-Semitic and stereotypic beliefs? Are you saying that the newspaper is publishing
false material?

The incongruity of your two statements is overwhelming and inappropriate.......not to mention, uncalled for.

Not at all. What I said was that your remark was offensive - a sentiment obviously shared by others who have posted here. If you "don't get it," I
can't help you further; try reading the material to which I pointed you.
LOL - By strange coincidence, book to which the link refers was endorsed by Donald Trump (!) - unfortunately.

Well, I STILL "don't get it", and I don't understand your second paragraph, either.
Just for the record---I deeply admire the Jews, always have, and support them verbally, and have several Jewish friends. I especially admire their
business acumen, and their incredible scientific contributions to the world over many years.
