THe job would ahve een in the Arab states. He was asked "Is there any reason they would need to know you were Jewish". He replied "Only if they take my trousers off". |

Presumably many or most Jewish visitors to Dubai aren't visibly Jewish? I wonder if a family of Orthodox Jews arriving at Dubai Airport would be allowed entry. |

14 Sep 08 - 04:26 PM (#2440238) Subject: RE: BS: anti semitism in football From: John on the Sunset Coast Why should just religion go away...why not race...or sex? Why can't everybody just be the same? We'll all speak the same language, be the same height, have the same thick head of hair, sing the same songs, wear the same clothes, all have the same talents. Yeah, let's get rid of differences. What a wonderful world this would then be!! Actually, I think there are folks who would like to get rid of religious, sex, racial and national differences; they think of themselves as progressive. This is not, repeat, not, to say all progressives want all of those things...so don't even go there with me. |

There is talk of stripping Michael Phelps of his medals since DNA testing revealed that he has a trace of Neanderthal DNA sequence in his genes, THAT IS RACISM and SPECIESISM COMBINED |
