average Joe, I want to reply to your post, but am not sure what it means. I'll give it a try, though. I think you are calling me a "Gore Gal"? Wrong. A few of the descriptors I've applied to Gore on SI are liar delusional creepy weird hollow scum bag <<<The strange thing is just like E, they don't even know why. >>> I think you are saying I don't know why I react to certain comments, such as "the Jews" having "pretensions" etc one. I think I do know. As you seem to be aware, I am an atheist. I was raised atheist, in the south, among Christians who behaved brutally to my sister and me and even more brutally to the one Jewish child (called by them "Joey the Jew" on the few occasions he ventured outdoors in an attempt to join the Christians at play. I've talked about Joey on SI before.) So I am certain that is one reason I am particularly sensitive to Christian anti-Semitism. And other pretensions to superiority. I witnessed the former and have myself been a victim of the latter. You overlooked another, more generic remark on this subject, though. I wrote: <<<One's perspective on such things is often formed (or deformed), I'm sure you will agree, by one's philosophical background.... >>> I didn't exclude myself! What were you saying here, joe? Were you agreeing with me, disagreeing, or what?:-- <<<Saying certain races are like animals is an old tactic that makes it easier for some people to behave like animals and kill a perceived enemy. >>>
