<<<There are some wonderful Jews as there are every other breed of cat but damn Sam why do keep trying play the victim and controlling the entire media-who the hell do they think they are kidding-the entertainment business has -s--- for taste most of the time-British movies are always better/infinitely more stylish- IMO.>>> Thanks for sharing your opinion, sir. I’m not going to say much about the ‘entertainment business’, except that, mysteriously, it seems to enjoy great success worldwide. The issue about Jews “controlling the entire media” is trickier – in many ways. Let’s touch upon a couple. I presume this phrase is meant to express concern about the fact that there are so many people of Jewish descent, who are owners, or in some other way participants in the Media. Narrowing down the discussion, let’s just see what can be done to change it, in theory, that is. Should we try “Jewish quotas” in schools of journalism? Perhaps, we need some law – or a Constitutional Amendment – limiting rights of Jews to have ownership in Media-related businesses? The next question we’ll need to address, is Who Is a Jew? With this melting pot thing, you’ll find maybe a few millions of people in the US who are half-Jewish. Are they "Jews"? What about the ones with a quarter, or 1/8, or a sixteenth of “Jewish” blood? Many hard questions… we hardly touched the issue, and it becomes so complicated. I know someone who is more than anything upset about Koreans monopolizing the veggie stand business.

Hi OldTrader, I have noticed in the past that you don't like JEWS. That is really sad. My Herb was the most wonderful MAN in the world and he just happened to be a loving JEW. Dorine
