I agree with that, my .357 has five rounds.

You are mistaken. Israel is not an apartheid state. It's a representative democracy with free speech, rule of law, and a lively, argumentative political system. Israeli Muslims can and do serve in the Knesset and they serve in the IDF right alongside Jews. Muslims in Israel are the freest, and have the most political rights, of any Muslims in the Middle East. I'm not claiming that it is a utopia. There aren't any of those and there never will be.

Lol. This is pie in the sky bs and just not true, and you know it.

Interesting. You just (a few posts above) de-linked being anti-Israel and anti-Semitic, and yet here you link being Jewish and support for Israel. You get to have it both ways.

I didn’t link anything, longhorn did. And I was responding to his post.

Man, we're really running roughshod over the Rules. I never much liked Rules anyway.

I think I recall that CWS is one of the reasons we had rules.

The college world series?

(I wouldn't mind a return to the rules at some point. But for the moment, the lack of sports is making me shrug it off)

A guy at work I got to know claimed to be a Jewish atheist. He went to Temple on Saturday. He said it was Jewish, but not religious, at all. It celebrated heritage, no religion, no war, etc. I thought that would be hard to do.

I googled it and he was correct, a secular Jewish temple.

The wife's friends claim to be Jewish but don't participate at all and haven't for eons. My buddy who owned the wine shop was Jewish and didn't attend anything but his wife converted and he would celebrate Hannukah etc. He made those potato cake thingees in the back of his shop a few times, they are pretty tasty.

I still chat with him from time to time. Our next door neighbors were Jewish but didn't attend anything, I don't think the wife converted. He was my MD. I never knew of a reason to be against Jews based on the ones I've known. Of course, I'm pretty easy going, I even like some French.

I've sometimes described it as being part of a people. There's a religious element, but also cultural. Maybe semi-ethnic depending on one's view.

I continue to be mystified by the fact that the majority of the Jewish people votes democratic course that might change this year

Israel is a interestingly divided nation in its own right. Certain strains of the dominant politics there don't jive with the politics of communities here. (There were also a lot of strains of socialism in its early founding, though now it's sharply split with mostly secular but cultural jewish folks and the ultra-orthodox, who often opt out of some of some of the normal social order. It's a fascinating place)

I am very glad we are having these conversations, as it seems for the most part they are friendly exchanges of different ideas.

There’s very places you can have that.

Besides- who else would I rather learn from then a bunch of knuckleheads from around the country who share my love for CFB.

I used to think the place was better if none of us had a clue who was a raving left wing maniac and who was a raving right wing racist tool, but really, the group seems to be mostly mainstream, which doesn't really surprise me.

We're also used to each other, which helps.

Exactly. For example I used to think MDOT was a raving UM slappy.
Come to find out- he is a very worldly raving slappy on many topics.

The wife bought this gizmo to clean windows. The instructions were written by a lunatic. It's actually pretty simple to use. We have a large number of sliding glass doors and they get a bit dirty. I don't mind myself.

We also have a composite nine window window that goes up to the second floor. It's pretty neat, but I ain't cleaning the outside.

She was going to hire someone to do it, and I figured I could give it a shot.

It’s not really that confusing, maybe to simple minded folks.

Judaism is a religion, not an ethnicity or country. Anyone who has a problem with Judaism for no other reason than just because they don’t like the religion is a bigot.

Pretty sure there is Jewish ethnicity

https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/498027/jewish/Are-Jews-a-Race.htm

All that geneticists know so far is that there is certainly a “cluster” of typical Jewish DNA. They’ve also been able to identify several distinct haplotypes—markers in the chromosome structure that cropped up in one individual and have been passed on ever since. That allows them to approximate the age of these unique features, along with a good guess at the geographic origin. The time machine of our genes show that most Jews have a shared ancestry that traces back to ancient Israel. Any competing theories will have to argue with hard science.2

We confirm the notion that the Ashkenazi, North African, and Sephardi Jews share substantial genetic ancestry and that they derive it from Middle Eastern and European populations, with no indication of a detectable Khazar contribution to their genetic origins.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/religion/2019/12/19/is-judaism-an-ethnicity-race-nationality-trump-signs-an-order-provokes-an-identity-crisis/

In the 1970s, according to General Social Survey data, 99 percent of U.S. Jews were categorized as white. Most of them were Ashkenazi, a European ethnic lineage specific to Jews. In this decade, data shows that 11 percent of U.S. Jews are not white — and some say that is an undercount, since people of color are sometimes overlooked by researchers trying to tally Jews. There are Jews of Ethiopian descent, Sephardic Jews from countries such as Iran, Iraq and Egypt, converts from across the racial spectrum, children of color adopted by Ashkenazi or Sephardic Jews — and all of their children and grandchildren.

All Michigan fans are raving about something. I think everyone in the entire state is that way. It stops at each state line, and the folks in the UP are pretty reasonable. I think being surrounded by all that water makes it so.

I sort of bristle at times when someone says some group is not "white". None of us are white. Some of us are a rather pasty pale color that often we try and modify with sun light exposure. That usually makes us red. Not Indian red, just ugly pasty red.

What the heck does "white" mean? Or black? Do you know how far the Mongols intruded into Europe and the Middle East? They weren't just there for the loot.

The race concept is inherently destructive IMHO and separates us for no good reason.

I objected to the census form.
