"I hate people who wear baseball caps backwards. I'm not sure if any of them are Jews or not. If so, though, I think it's a very small minority of them."

Oh, yeah? Well, I have my fire 'baseball' cap on now and it's the old fashioned way, with the visor in the front. Just to piss you off I have turned it around and the visor is now in the back. I am not Jewish, but if I was I would have done the same thing just to piss you off. This has nothing to do with being anti anything. It has to do with I have had a shitty day and I want to piss off any and everyone who likes Shatner--and I don't give a rat's ass that Shatner is Jewish. He probably couldn't find a hat big enough to fit his head, anyway.



Martin, the only thing to do with anti-Jews is to tell them to fuck off. Repeatedly. With anti-Israelis, argue. With anti-Semites, again, tell them to fuck off. There are some folks you'd have to be an idiot to try to reason with. Nazis and White Supremists are two of those groups. Just tell them to fuck off. They don't understand reason anyway. As to folks who are on either the Israeli or Palestinian side fo things, they are usually worth the time in terms of argument, because they both see a version of right and wrong for one reason or other. You know damned well that I am pro Israel. Always have been. However, the screwing the Palestinians got is from many countries. Only one of those countries is Israel. The others? Try damned near ever Arab state in the mid-East. Keep that in perspective. The people who only note Israel as 'causing' the Palestinian difficulty likely do hate Jews to one degree or other. That is too bad for them.

I have seen what I perceive to be varying degrees of racism here, as well as sexism (from both sexes) as well as chauvinism. But I have seen many good people post, too. Lots of good people.


And one last thing: Shatner is not a great actor OR singer, FYI. OK, he's cute, but my old Labrador was cute, too. She couldn't act or sing, either.
