Well, I do, too - but I manage to just take a *taxi* to the airport. I don't need a "car service" with a chauffeured limo.

I didn't have a clue Rasti's were brothers to Muslims.

They aren't, as post #51 points out. Their literature is full of references to Zion as the promised land, Babylon as the decadent world, and Haile Selaisse himself as the Lion of Judah.

Rstafarianism, and Reggae music in particular, took hold as a protest against colonialism -- so it sounds like this particular "Rasta" latched on to the Jews as his oppressor and incorporated it. It's not generalizable to Rastafarians, let alone Jamaicans.

And the gun another poster suggested would not be a bad bit of protection.

For a trip to the airport? What do you do with it when you get there?

Ah, I see. Car service can be arranged ahead of time and paid for on a business account. When I take a 7am international flight out of EWR, I have to leave at 4am to travel the 55 miles to the airport. There is no taxi service in my town...There is a guy, he has one car. Garden state limo on the other hand has no issues picking me up or dropping me off tween midnight and 5am, which is what most of the flights to China and Honduras seem to require.

Marley was a Zionist. Iron, Lion, Zion - sound familiar? The modern reggae I have heard on XM is simply the same violent anti-woman stuff that comes out of the rap industry... with steel drums.

We have a black guy in our congregation from Cuba by way of the islands. To say he has no love for Mohammed is an understatement. He went on a tirade a few Sabbaths ago expressing his disbelief at how many black folks in Africa fall into this horrible religion.

If this continues, there will be a time (again) when anyone who practices anything that remotely resembles "Jewish" religious practices will be persecuted the same as Jews for their faith.

Can you imagine the fury of the muzzie that finds out there are Christians who keep the Sabbath?

Thought I read somewhere that Jamaicans have the world's highest national I.Q. average.

"So are Jews to start hiding?"

That is the point...Americans of all stripes have no need to hide in America. The writer needs to do three things:

a. open his eyes to the real world around him and outside of his pampered enclave. People ARE out to get him
b. grow a pair...he writes like my grannie
c. Take responsibility, buy a gun, move if necessary, and remember most folk, most real americans, do not allow the sort of abuse he received. We don't put up with it. Call the company and complain.

This reminds me of conversations I have with my way out there leftie sister (actually works for the Washington Post). She is constantly saying things that simply are not so, and easilly disproved. She does it because all her friends do. She never hears a different view, she suffers from the 'false concensus effect' in which she believes her views are majority opinion. This guy is setting himself up for a fall if he does not hear that some folk ARE out to hurt him, and that his faith is now the subject of world wide hate, even amongst the pampered elites he represents.

Pretending there is no problem is not the same as solving the problem.

:"I am planning on fighting if necessary"

Great...Maybe after you convert you could get some of your fellow Liberal Democrat Jews to convert to Conservatism?

In my eyes there seems to be some kind of mental illness inherent in Jews that has them supporting the very people that would have them wiped out.

I'd give you 100 to 1 that the guy in the cab was a liberal. I mean both of them. And it never occurred to either one.

"I am constantly amazed at people who use a "car service" to go places." "This author implied that having the same "car service" all these years should've entitled him to deferential treatment"

Take a breather from being amazed :) Just as a bus is not a subway neither is a car service a taxi. Different.

And speaking of words that begin with a "d" and have an "f" as its third letter, I too expect deference from a car service driver, a taxi driver, or to anyone else I hire.That is the norm.

Thanks for jogging my mind out of sloppy thinking mode. No need to go through life with misimpressions based on "something I seem to remember from somewhere." A little web browsing yielded few appropriate results but this site - http://www.lagriffedulion.f2s.com/sft.htm - places Jamaica quite low.

As a Jamaican, they certainly didn't test me and come up with that info.

LOL. Expect any group's average I.Q. to be lowered by including me.

>>You make my life miserable. I don't care if I die. Maybe I'm a terrorist, like my Palestinian and Arab brothers whose lives you have destroyed.<<

That is not Christian. That sounds suspiciously Muslim.

well said-when some jews whine and ask for understanding they're really in trouble and don't even realize it-i am armed and i don't sweat jew haters because i've dealt with them one on one and they bleed like everyone else-i don't have a problem with being hated for no discernable reason-just don't try to screw with me-one or the other of us will wind up hurt-i'm the only jew in my family but my son and daughter still have an attitude about the whole deal -so does my wife who's not even a little bit jewish-i expect this kind of thing,but so what-the world isn't a nursery school -either be ready to use firepower or go hang yourself is my advice to the writer-by the way,i only hate people for what they do-i could care less "what" they are-and for years EVERYONE in my family has had to be competent with firearms and own one or two or....:))-why did the writer feel compelled to tell the driver his background or inquire-sometimes people should just shut up and not ask too many questions

LOL, I know what you mean, maybe she only made it for us 'heathens' as she used to say, but WOW it was good. A most excellent cook she was.

What would you have him charged with? Careless driving does not merit jail time, neither does saying stupid things while driving. Check your seatbelt and tell the guy to go ahead and crash, he'll have the steering column through his chest before you get hurt. He knows this, too.

As for the gun in the nightstand, good for you. I like to keep a Mossberg 590 handy, it won't fit in the drawer.

After reading this last night I started to wonder about the fact the writer said he was safe on the plane. Did he not call his wife ASAP and say a crazy rasti taxi driver just went off on me and he knows where we live? I didn't see where he said anything more then do we have to be afraid ,he knows where I live etc. I don't know how much I believe this story anymore..... He said I am safe on a plane....I would think if I was leaving my family home and a kook knew my address I would have dialed 911 and called home as soon as I got out of that taxi. I would have made sure my family was safe before I got on a plane.
