I was in a chatroom for pipesmokers the day after nine eleven. Someone was blaming Israel and Jews. The other chatters were arguing with him, for which I was quite gratified, since I was the only Jew in the room at the time.
I then posted, “We Jews own all the gold, all the silver, all the banks, all the businesses, all the governments, and everything else wqorth owning.”
There was silence for a minute. then one of the posters posted, “Dave, can I have a loan.” Everyone but the anti-Semite posted “lol” or “lmao,” etc.
The anti-Semite was never heard from again.
Sometimes, you just need to ridicule knuckleheads, since arguing with them can just make you crazy.
No really, can I have a loan? ;)
Ridicule works. I gotta give Alynski his due on that. And antisemites are good targets for it.
G-d Bless you, Dave. That was very cool and showed great wisdom.
