Look at your statement above: "Most of the jackals are permanent members..." If you had omitted the word 'jackals', you would have gotten the same message across, but without the personal insult. It's not that difficult. -- We say, "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" John I call 'em as I see 'em. If they are in the bozo bin, they are there because about all they do here is toss insults. Jackals. You totally disregarded the point of my response. Do you ever consider that the insults may be fewer if you controlled your behavior? I'm not saying they'd stop, but those that are hurled simply in retaliation would diminish greatly. -- We say, "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" John We say "Chanukah Sameach" to each other, and Merry Christmas to goys who celebrate Christmas. I guess to some we should just say, I hope you got some nice presents for Dec. 25th. No, it would be, "Hope you get some nice presents for Winter Solstice." -- I think you should only say that if they celebrate on the Winter Solstice, in 2008 that would be Dec. 21st, on the 22nd in 2009 and the 23rd in 2010, when it would go back to Dec. 21. So, those who open presents on Dec. 25 and are not Christians are really just celebrating Dec. 25th. I think Festivus and Winter Solstice makes a lot more sense than just opening presents because the Christians are celebrating the birth of Christ. Imagine what would happen if all the Chinese celebrated Christmas on Dec.25? Where would all the Jews go to eat on Dec. 25th. We would have to eat at home, and that is against our religion. ;) Now that's something I didn't know. -- We say, "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" John Sure, just go by any Chinese restaurant on Dec.25th and you will find all the restaurant full of Jews. It is a tradition that goes back almost 6000 yrs. ;) http://dragon.soc.qc.cuny.edu/Staff/...20Chinese.html If you are seeing Jews in "any Chinese restaurant," they certainly are not observant Jews. Observant Jews eat in Kosher restaurants, and while there any Kosher Chinese restaurants, very few of them are. PS - There are more sects and diverse opinion among those who consider themselves Jewish than there are among Christians. Yet, all of them consider themselves observant Jews. Are you now going to tell Jews that the only ones who can be considered "Observant Jews" are those who observe all 613 mitzvot? If so, you would not find one Jew in the entire world. I do find it funny that you, who said you are not Jewish, know more about the Chosen People than most Jews. There is an old joke that if you locked a 100 rabbis in a room and they would not be let out until they had written a book on what it means to be Jewish, they could not agree on the first sentence. I grew up in a city that at the time had a very high percentage of Jews, and am more than a little familiar with Jewish observances, customs, traditions, et cetera. The observant Jews were the Orthodox and Conservative "sect" Jews, the ones who went to synagogues on Friday nights and Saturdays, who kept Kosher, and whose children went to Hebrew school several times a week, among other things. I'm not discussing "cultural" Jews. Of course, I know nothing about Atlanta Jews. Are you Jewish Harry? Yes or no? No he isn't. He just wants to define what it means to be an Observant Jew. In America only about 15% of those who consider themselves active practicing Jews (those who regularly go to shul, temple or synagogue) keep Kosher year round. A much larger percent will keep kosher for the high holy days, (Chanukah is not a high holiday), but Harry's knowledge of Judaism is a vast as all of his other knowledge. It is one of the benefits of getting a excellent liberal arts education from Univ. of Kansas. Reminds me of a Russian Jew I worked with in the 1980's. Asked if he kept Kosher while in Russia. He said they ate what ever they could get. Was better to be fed than starve to death. |

Well, you may want to go to the "Orthodox", "Conservative", "Progressive" and "Reform" synagogues in NYC, and tell those who celebrate Shabbat on every Friday and Saturday, who send their children to Hebrew school, that if they do not follow all Kosher Laws 365 days a year, that they are no longer Observant Jews. I am sure they would enjoy your lecture. My sister in law is Jewish. Not a good practicing Jew, but she still considers herself Jewish. I guess she does not know what she is really according to Harry. |

John This from a John who was solicited and accepted by the U.S. Army to go to Vietnam and kill women and children? Harry, that statement is unbelievable. Here's a hint, Tim. Herring spends most of his day here trying to insult me, directly or (his specialty) indirectly. I'm merely returning the favor. I haven't noticed *you* going after Herring or any of his pack of juvenile jackals for insulting me. I have no idea what Herring did in Vietnam. He could have been handing out soap, for all I care. Harry, I suppose that when I see a statement like the one you made, I become rather dissapointed. if you and John want to sling salvo's back and forth I suppose that's your prerogative. I don't' get involved with playing tag. But the reason for my comment is I do know a little about the military, and I don't believe anyone was sent to SE Asia for the sole purpose of killing women and children. Of course there will always be the self appointed glory seekers like Calley, but they are so few far and in between, and are such a low number that they are practically unrecognizable by the vast arm of the military branches, and I would think he'd have much more honor than that. I don't know what the total sum of O-5 Herrings involvement was in SE Asia, but I'm fairly sure that involving the death[s] of innocent women and children wasn't a consideration nor an option of his deployment. I have a brother-in-law and two cousins that served in SE Asia. My bro-in-law is a ward of the VA and has been for several years now. I also have a distant cousin(2nd, once removed) who's name is on "The Wall", and I'm not saying that to mean really anything extra, but I have a sentiment for those who have served in times past, present and future. |

Eisboch In Jewish culture fish symbolizes abundance and fertility, so it is served in numerous different ways at all holiday dinners. Since the Jews were dispersed throughout Europe, you will find their traditional Jewish recipes are often borrowed from the region in which they lived. Some of my favorite holiday "comfort" foods are praakes, Knishes, Kugel and of course includes fresh baked Challah. Challah symbolizes the circle of life with is ingrained in Jews from a very early age. |

But that's not the point. I'm not lacking in will power on this issue, I'm simply unwilling to extend "good will" to those unwilling to do the same. Having all those folks filtered should make it easy. No one is suggesting you 'extend good will' to anyone. I'm suggesting you stop extending *bad* will to *anyone*. Do you see the difference? Look at your statement above: "Most of the jackals are permanent members..." If you had omitted the word 'jackals', you would have gotten the same message across, but without the personal insult.

John We say "Chanukah Sameach" to each other, and Merry Christmas to goys who celebrate Christmas. I guess to some we should just say, I hope you got some nice presents for Dec. 25th. No, it would be, "Hope you get some nice presents for Winter Solstice." -- I think you should only say that if they celebrate on the Winter Solstice, in 2008 that would be Dec. 21st, on the 22nd in 2009 and the 23rd in 2010, when it would go back to Dec. 21. So, those who open presents on Dec. 25 and are not Christians are really just celebrating Dec. 25th. I think Festivus and Winter Solstice makes a lot more sense than just opening presents because the Christians are celebrating the birth of Christ. Imagine what would happen if all the Chinese celebrated Christmas on Dec.25? Where would all the Jews go to eat on Dec. 25th. We would have to eat at home, and that is against our religion. ;) Now that's something I didn't know. -- We say, "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" John Sure, just go by any Chinese restaurant on Dec.25th and you will find all the restaurant full of Jews. It is a tradition that goes back almost 6000 yrs. ;) http://dragon.soc.qc.cuny.edu/Staff/...20Chinese.html If you are seeing Jews in "any Chinese restaurant," they certainly are not observant Jews. Observant Jews eat in Kosher restaurants, and while there any Kosher Chinese restaurants, very few of them are. PS - There are more sects and diverse opinion among those who consider themselves Jewish than there are among Christians. Yet, all of them consider themselves observant Jews. Are you now going to tell Jews that the only ones who can be considered "Observant Jews" are those who observe all 613 mitzvot? If so, you would not find one Jew in the entire world. I do find it funny that you, who said you are not Jewish, know more about the Chosen People than most Jews. There is an old joke that if you locked a 100 rabbis in a room and they would not be let out until they had written a book on what it means to be Jewish, they could not agree on the first sentence. I grew up in a city that at the time had a very high percentage of Jews, and am more than a little familiar with Jewish observances, customs, traditions, et cetera. The observant Jews were the Orthodox and Conservative "sect" Jews, the ones who went to synagogues on Friday nights and Saturdays, who kept Kosher, and whose children went to Hebrew school several times a week, among other things. I'm not discussing "cultural" Jews. Of course, I know nothing about Atlanta Jews. Are you Jewish Harry? Yes or no? No he isn't. He just wants to define what it means to be an Observant Jew. In America only about 15% of those who consider themselves active practicing Jews (those who regularly go to shul, temple or synagogue) keep Kosher year round. A much larger percent will keep kosher for the high holy days, (Chanukah is not a high holiday), but Harry's knowledge of Judaism is a vast as all of his other knowledge. It is one of the benefits of getting a excellent liberal arts education from Univ. of Kansas. My former next door neighbor an observant Jew got me a Rosary blessed by Pope Benny when he was over in Rome. If you don't believe me you can stop by and see the picture of my neighbor Pope Benny and a bunch of other members of BOD of the National B'nai Brith. Historically there have been problems between Judaism and the Vatican. A very sensitive one with many Jews is they way the Vatican handled the Nazi's and the holocaust. The Pope has stated he would like to heal some wounds between the two faiths, and i would assume the B'Nai Brith visit was related to this in some fashion. He has traveled all over Europe and Africa with the B'nai Brith working on better relations between Jews and other religions, cultures and countries. Amazing guy really. My other Jewish friend and him don't get along. Difference of opinion about how to help the poor people of the world. By the way, according to Harry's definition, if your neighbor has ever eaten or had a drink at your house, even if he strictly ate "Kosher" foods, he is not a observant Jew. Your house is not kept Kosher, so if he ate anything in your house, he was not observing Kosher Law, hence he is not really a Jew. ;) He let my dog screw his dog quite often. His is a Wheaton Terrier purebred and mine is a Beagle mutt :) He did eat chicken cooked on my grill once or twice. After I had just cleaned it. I have drunk some Hebrew wine that was actually pretty good, kind of like Chardonnay. I will never drink Hebrew beer again, that stuff is nasty. |

Your plates are not kosher, your kitchen is not kosher etc. he never should have eaten your chicken. A real shame, who would have thought that a leader in the Jewish Community, working hard to bring people of different faiths together, someone who works hard to defeat antisemitism, isn't an Observant Jew. |

To go beyond the two of us, your compadres would have to agree. Bull****. Learn to disregard the personal insults directed towards you. Have you seen me respond to any of the Salty or that other guy's attacks? No, not lately. You decide to ignore them. It can be done. Hell, I've gone for a couple weeks without responding to any of your ****, even though you've directed a couple dozen posts a day towards me. I'll ignore the attacks by Donnie and those other friends of yours. Easy as pie. -- We say, "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" John As I stated, I will enter into and honor a one-to-one agreement with you. If others decide to join in, I will extend them the same courtesy. Quid pro quo. It's the *Christian* thing to do, don't you agree? I think you're lacking in the will power department. You whine about folks attacking you, but you won't stop. I'll be glad to do the Christian, and Jewish, thing. I'll stop *all* personal insults if you'll do the same. Do you find it too hard to ignore the attacks of others? Can you not participate in *any* discussion without resorting to name-calling? -- We say, "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" John Actually, most of jackals are permanent members of my bozo bin, and will never be allowed out. The permanent members include but are not limited to Loogy, DK, FloridaJim, et cetera. But that's not the point. I'm not lacking in will power on this issue, I'm simply unwilling to extend "good will" to those unwilling to do the same. Having all those folks filtered should make it easy. No one is suggesting you 'extend good will' to anyone. I'm suggesting you stop extending *bad* will to *anyone*. Do you see the difference? Look at your statement above: "Most of the jackals are permanent members..." If you had omitted the word 'jackals', you would have gotten the same message across, but without the personal insult. It's not that difficult. -- We say, "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" John I call 'em as I see 'em. If they are in the bozo bin, they are there because about all they do here is toss insults. Jackals. You totally disregarded the point of my response. Do you ever consider that the insults may be fewer if you controlled your behavior? I'm not saying they'd stop, but those that are hurled simply in retaliation would diminish greatly. -- We say, "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" John I've considered that, and I've concluded the majority of "jackals" are that way because of my politics. No, idiot, it's your ****ing attitude and petty bull****. |

There are many in this NG that share your political views and they are not routinely dumped on. Most of the time differing points of views are discussed rationally, politely and with respect for one another. In your case it is often very different. You tend to lump everybody who does not subscribe to your POV together (with minor tolerances) and generally treat those in disagreement with distain, punctuated with multiple insults. It's not what you think, it's how you express it to others. Eisboch Whatever. Typical response. He can't debate it so he attempts to make it go away. |

John This from a John who was solicited and accepted by the U.S. Army to go to Vietnam and kill women and children? Harry, that statement is unbelievable. Here's a hint, Tim. Herring spends most of his day here trying to insult me, directly or (his specialty) indirectly. I'm merely returning the favor. I haven't noticed *you* going after Herring or any of his pack of juvenile jackals for insulting me. I have no idea what Herring did in Vietnam. He could have been handing out soap, for all I care. How can you EXPECT/DEMAND others to defend you after you are called for posting your stupid ****? I realize you have essentially one moron and a racist on your side since JimH abandoned you, but do you really expect normal, rational people to jump on board? It must be your narcissism, WAFA. -- John Have a Super Christmas and a Spectacular New Year! |
