There you go again
You love to call folks bigot....racist....or anti Semite
Yet here you are openly generalizung about orthodox Jewish youth......last week there you were assuming most Harlem households had convicts in them as well with no evidence.
It wasn’t long ago I opined about liberals Jews and mused as to why a history of poor political choices and qualified that of course with accolades to right thinking Jews like anyone decent does
Yet you howled you were offended and called the mod on me railing on about why should we tolerate bigots here
But now just look at you....making this broad claim about Jewish kids with what evidence?
You’re a damned hypocrite and should have stayed gone with Ivan and the other anti freepers
Oh...and need I mention....you slur Dixie whenever the fancy strikes you
Like we say round here....I got nothing for you
BTW...my experience with Lubavitch kids on 47th at my office back when was just fine....I gave in the blue coffee cup on Fridays too like anyone else
Wrong, tootsie roll. I was generalizing about New Yorkers. I couldn't care less about their race, religion, sexual orientation, hair color, etc.
Your attack on wideawake (apparently based on an argument carried from another thread in violation of FR rules) is uncalled for.
1)There are still racists and anti-Semites on FR, though they aren't as bad as they used to be (when I first registered here the place was crawling with them). And I have seen some pretty awful posts by you myself (I've also seen some very good posts by you).
2)Wideawake has consistently defended rural Southern Fundamentalist Protestants from their detractors, which is absolutely amazing considering that he is Catholic (the attitude of most Catholic FReepers to Fundamentalist Protestants needs no elaboration).
As you probably know, I too am a Southerner (though from the Upper rather than the Deep South), though my own ancestors (like many Southerners in every Confederate state except South Carolina) fought for the Union. I too love the South (while disagreeing with certain aspects of traditional Southern culture like jim crow and slavish adherence to the Democrat party), but the most important thing to me is that it is the Bible Belt. I may no longer be a chrstian, but I am Bible-bangin'est son of a gun you will ever meet. And that means One G-d and One Truth that applies universally.
I admit to not liking "palaeoconservatives." "Palaeos" are not Fundamentalists at all. They are utilitarian "civilizationist" intellectuals to whom Abstract Universal Truth is "subversive;" it undercuts traditional local norms. But that's the whole point: "traditional local norms" are pagan! The whole point of chrstianity was (theoretically) to destroy the "old 'gxds'" ("traditional local norms") and replace them with the One True G-d (which it's done a lousy job of doing, btw). This failure is easily seen by the mutual hatred between chrstians of different ethnicities (Black and white Americans being the most obvious, but far from the only, example). It is obvious that each ethnicity has created a "gxd" in its own image and put its racial identity over and above its religious identity (and please recall before you have an aneurism that I am one of the most caustic critics of contemporary "Black culture" and politics on this forum!). If Black and white chrstians really put their religious identities first, then a Black and white Baptist marriage wouldn't be considered a "mixed marriage;" a white Baptist and white b*ddhist marriage would be! In short, "palaeoconservative" civilizationism is really no different from the attitude of Communist "national liberation" terrorists: "Deze are de wayz of our pipplez!"
In closing: anyone who worships his ancestors, his culture, his civilization, his "way of life," etc., is an idolator, and idolatry is the greatest sin of all. If your loyalty to G-d is based on loyalty to your ancestors (rather than vice versa), then you may be very disappointed at your day of judgment.
False. I was doing precisely the opposite.
you were assuming most Harlem households had convicts in them
Completely false, and already refuted.
you howled you were offended
I'm not a big howler, I'm afraid.
If I disagree with you, I will disagree with you.
called the mod on me
Not a habit of mine.
you slur Dixie
Again, false. I love the South. I am not a fan of the Confederacy. And yes, those are two different things, despite people frequently confusing the two.
You’re a damned hypocrite and should have stayed gone with Ivan
I presume that this is a reference to the "wide awake" website that MadIvan set up after his opus.
As I told him at that time (and received no response) - I was not happy with him using my screenname for his site without even asking my permission. Which he never would have done, since he was a supporter of Giuliani for the GOP nomination and he knows I would not endorse a pro-abort if there were any pro-life candidate left.
Amazing the amount of excitement one can generate by trying to have a conversation based on ideas instead of slogans and name-calling.
These Jewish kids should have behaved themselves but when you get a large group of boys together they can get out of hand, young testosterone reaching critical mass and KABOOM
