Were you worried that the PC crowd would think less of you because they would assume you to be a racist? You may be many things but I dont think anyone would accuse you of that. Regarding Jews you say: "The ones who are native to the greater NYC area tend to be more humanitarian than the average citizen. They genuinely feel for the oppressed people around the world, with the possible exception of the Palestinians. And almost all of them are well educated people beyond their schooling. Most of them support Israel on a matter principle, but do not agree with its oppressive policies. A few of them are under strict "orders" from their parents not to marry Israelis." Poppycock and boulderdash. NYC Jews are no better or worse than any others. You like them because they agree with your assumptions on Israel. They love Israel but oppose its "oppressive policies" just as Michael Moore loves America but oppose it "oppressive policies". And Jewish parents telling their kids "not to marry Israelis," if true, is more about protecting them from terrorist attack if they moved to israel, than any opposition to Israelis per se. I know more about this than you do, Sun for obvious reasons, even though you have some Jewish friends. Stick to what you know. Mike

"As to why I don't like Arabs or why I like some of the Jews in NYC, they are in general uneducated and racist. They have a tribal mindset combined with pride to the point of stupidity (something that they share with many Israelis). Culturally they have many practices that I dislike and through out their history they have done little to contribute to humanity as a whole." You seem to be mixing up things here. I think you mean the following: "As to why I don't like Arabs, they are in general uneducated and racist. They have a tribal mindset combined with pride to the point of stupidity (something that they share with many Israelis). Culturally they have many practices that I dislike and through out their history they have done little to contribute to humanity as a whole." This is quite inflammatory and really unnecessary. "These reasons are why I dislike some of the Jews in NYC." Same comment. "I was very specific as to which Jews I liked. The ones who are native to the greater NYC area tend to be more humanitarian than the average citizen. They genuinely feel for the oppressed people around the world, with the possible exception of the Palestinians." I know several Jews who feel for the Palestinian people. The oppression Palestinians are under is deplored by them. By the way what is the source for the quotes you used for you post about soldiers in the Philippines?
