It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

Tell me this, Dezi: Do the words "against" and "regarding" have anything close to similar meanings? No? I didn't think so. You made an assumption, Dezi. That assumption may very well be wrong. If you're going to cite something someone has said cite what they said, not what you've decided they said.

Methinks you need the last word on this..not the first time I have thought that so will give it to you...
Again....I am staying with the following which should be fitting in your own guidelines , they are your words..I believe..am requesting from DJ..
" You have a bias REGARDING Jews DJ? Mind letting me know what it is...I AM most interested in that , really...."

you are really not getting it. it has nothing to do with me, Jim. nothing. i don't argue ad hominem.  HERE is what i thought of when you said what you did: die Endlösung der Judenfragemy bias regarding Jews is way different than you would believe, or have others believe. this discussion is over. mmkay? You have a bias against Jews dj? Mind letting me know what it is..I am most interested in that really... no, i have a bias for them. i have always found my Jewish friends to be clever, funny, creative, to place a high value on education, to be inquisitive, thoughtful, etc. that is why i married one. that is why my son is one. and that is why i go to synagogue about 10x as often as i do my own church. are we done yet? |

It is the interpretation of the word / phrase Bias that you used...there are many definitions of..not claiming on my part to know them all but in my mind ones bias is usually thought of in a negative way which is one of the interpetations of the phrase..

I have always wondered about the "why "...beyond the old one ...

that is how i was using the word.
========================================== That you married a Jew and your son is being brought up in the Jewish religion means nothing to me one way or the other...
i find that quite puzzling, if you are presuming i dislike Jews. i suppose that it is possible for, say, a white supremacist to marry a black person- but that seems fairly improbable to me. does it not to you? if not, WHY not?
Even if you had negative feelings toward Jews because of their "Jewishness" which it seems you do not..that means little to me..Actually if you had negative thoughts and feelings toward Jews it would be interesting for me to hear them and the why... I have always wondered about the "why "...beyond the old one of the murderers of the Christ, control the financial world, murder Christian children for their blood to be used in the making of Matzos, stiff necked , loud, rude...and a lot more accusations...
no, i have never had ANY negative feelings toward Jews. my turn: why are you asking? why would it even matter if i did? and how is any of this any business of yours? |
