Most? Maybe in NYC but not in the real world. Judaism is a culture and
religion. Most Jews today are of European stock having lost their semetism by
intermarriage over the millenia.

Denegrates? How about honors?? In a culture that values one's ability to
bargain, having that ability called by the name of your culture would seem a
compliment to me. It is only perjorative in the mind of somebody who thinks
that bargaining is dishonorable .... somebody like you????


Vito, are you Jewish? Maybe the argument would best be solved by
asking the opinion of a Jewish person whether they are "honored" by
your statements.

They bargin like crazy and expect it. Are they Jews?

As do Arabs and many other cultures. I didn't say that Jews were the only
bargainers in the world or even the best or most fervent. I merely pointed out
that bargaining is implicite in their religion.

It is NOT implicit in their religion. If so, please show us some
references to this in the Talmud or Torah.

It's a racist comment... jewing down. Disgusting.

No, it is not, because Jews do not comprise a "race". Nor is it derogatory (you
must have a streak of antisemetism in you that you're ashamed of to think it
is). I know may non-Jews who proudly brag about 'Jewing' others down. Some of
them wisely keep a 'Jew Book' - a record of their income & expenditures.

Well, I really don't care what you think. It's clearly derogatory, and
I strongly suggest you keep your mouth shut when in certain crowds, as
you would surely be stompted into unconsciousness for your comment.

Yes, most. So, you now believe that Jews who live in NYC are somehow
different than ones who live in Kansas?

Sounds to me like you have no idea what you're talking about.

Yeah, I'd like to be around for that conversation. Perhaps he should
travel to Israel and ask someone in the military. :-)

You are incorrect. If you would like to try and prove otherwise, please feel
free to knock your stupid self out.


OK **** for brains, how about this:

Numerous estimates have the Jewish population of Israel at over 5 mil
in 2000, and growing fairly fast due to migration from former Soviet
states. Its now estimated that there are more Jews in Israel than the US.

Carl, you're talking to a sockpuppet... just so you know.
