You mean, saying you hunt, farm, work in a factory or sit on your a$$ is personal information comparable to a bank account number? Did you go to stupid school, or are you just naturally obtuse?
And you call me a “hostile foreigner”? The State of Israel and the United States are both allies. Winston Churchill could have claimed citizenship in the United States only by virtue of his mother’s citizenship, and said so in his first address to Congress. I am a US citizen by virtue of my birth and both my parents. I am neither a foreigner, nor hostile to the United States, where I was born and lived more than half my life.
On the other hand, I am hostile to you on Free Republic, because I love this forum and the non-troll people who regularly post here, and I consider you a hostile troll who has outworn his presence here. And it is a perfectly normal, non-invasive question. What do you do in general terms, other than come here and make a nuisance of yourself. “Sassing (my) arrogant a@@,” as you put it. You are interested in my a$$, then? Are you gay? I wouldn’t have anything to do with him; he’s full of sh!t. But to each his own.
I can tell you what I do, in just those terms. I have been a paralegal at a plaintiff’s personal injury firm in NYC for about 18 years, and when I couldn’t find work in that field I briefly worked in a hardware store and then a vegetable stand, and then going back to work in a real estate law firm first in Brooklyn then Manhattan. I’ve been a kosher supervisor on a dairy farm and a dairy processing plant in the Florida Panhandle for a year and change. Then I worked behind the counter of a kosher deli in a South Florida Winn Dixie. Then, having had my fill of persnickety old people demanding to know if everything is “fresh” and impossible hours imposed only on me by persnickety managers, and my Tevye Sense tingling, telling me it’s time to come home, I moved with my wife and young son to Israel, where my oldest son was getting married.
Here I am a scribe (someone who writes Torah scrolls by hand on parchment, among other scrolls, for religious purposes), dabble in journalism, study languages, Talmud, Chassidic Philosophy, and post on freep.
But I will not tell you my bank account number, because you strike me as an untrustworthy person, who would use that information for illicit purposes. I will tell you that I have about 1,000 Israeli Shekels in there, which is about the same as 300 American dollars.
I am willing to tell you all of this, and have told you in private my home address in the hopes that you would satisfy our differences in the park across from my home in the manner that gentlemen or brave men of a better century would. But you, sirrah, far from being a gentleman, are a coward and a buffoon, a disgrace to the proud state that you infest, and a malevolent presence on Free Republic. My previous offer, months ago, of a duel is withdrawn, and replaced with a GFYS. And leave my a@@ alone. I’m not that sort of boy, and besides, my wife needs it.
So many words, so much crying.
You are correct, though, in one thing.
I have no reason to travel to your third world foreign country
simply because you are pissed off. If you want to save up some money
and pay for my travel and expenses, I may consider it.
Understand that you being pissed off is not a reason for me to spend any money.
You can sit around and be pissed off for free.
I’m not really sorry that you are upset.
It’s probably good for you.
