It seems that jews achieved so much because they were working in your personal basement lab and without that lab they are nothing. It did not occur to you that jews played a significant role in western development. In fact Peter the Great said once that superiority of the west is due to the fact that jews in the west are allowed to participate freely in all aspects of life." Bless them. When Germany lost their Jewish bankers, scientists, and tradespeople, they cut their own throats. "well that depends on what you mean by that. re: genocide on races perceived as inferior." you mean like Jews? Yes, like Jews, Blacks, the Roma people, homosexuals, physically and mentally disabled, Arabs under Zionism, etc. "boy, what an interesting conclusion that "jews played a vital role in the development of western civilization" is pretty much equivalent to a call for genocide. Is that what you are suggesting?" It is not the vital role of Jews or anyone else who has contributed to "Western civilization" (much of our civilization did not begin in the West), but that those who have contributed much have no "free-pass" to do onto others what is not allowed by the larger world community. "Let say the distance between A and B is 10 miles and the distance between C and D is also 10 miles. The road between A & B is flat and the road between C & D goes over small hills.

Part 1: which one is true: f) undeterminable Part 2: why? lack of other pertinent information Here is one for you: HOCUS + POCUS = PRESTO Using numbers 0-9 (inclusive) Each different individual letter represent only one number. For example S = S, C = C, U = U, O = O, P = P H + P = R S + S = O O + O = E C + C = S U + U = T
