Thread Name: BS: Extreme prejudice and friends
Subject: RE: BS: Extreme prejudice and friends
Unconditional freindship is changed when one loses respect for the friend. I put more time and distance between friends with unresolved predjudice but still keep tabs.

When it comes to my racist, jew hating, Catholic* brother in law , I will always have a warm feeling of antipathy for him. He would not advocate a holocaust himself but I would bet he would join crowd screaming for blood in a heartbeat if the situation ever arose.

*I never understood how people who worship a Jew could hate them. If they wanted to hate "his" killers they should rail against the Romans. I guess it is hard to hate an extinct Empire.

{now for somthing entirely different}

John Cleese: "After all what did the Roman Empire ever do for us." "Well, there is the roads , medicine , water systems , eduction and general well being of citizens ."

Cleese: Well besides the roads , medicine , water ,education and well being , what has the Roman empire done for us ."

"Yeah , your'e right, nothin."
