No, you should be fucking banned for your hateful comments.

In the meantime, go ahead and explain how I'm ant-Semitic.

Go on, I'm waiting.

As a proud American Jew who lost half his family in the holocaust I was not offended by the assignment that the teacher gave her students. When I read about it I just shook my head in disbelief.

What offended me is your extremely high level of ignorance and anti-semitism. :fp:

Interesting that you get free reign to throw out such insults. It would be another thing altogether if you could actually back up your bullshit with reference to anything I've said.

No shit. I don't know why Byrnzie thinks it's Jewish people who were upset. It is almost certain that it was non-Jewish parents with this disturbingly wide-spread problem of PCism and need to coddle and ignorantly shelter their kids who complained.

Maybe because what I said was the following:

Maybe the teacher simply thought the assignment would be educational and challenging, and underestimated the level of knee-jerk hysteria in America whenever a Jewish person decides to be offended.

Maybe you have trouble understanding the English language?

you know, you always say you are in no way anti-Semitic, but man, this statement comes incredibly close. please explain your last statement.

it's not about Jewish people. It's about general acceptance in a public school of all peoples, and you know it.

Jean has already said it, but I was going to say the same thing: this might be a good assignment for college-age political science class, but not 10th grade english.

Anti-Semitic? To deny that all Germans in 1930's Germany were evil is anti-Semitic? Really? Is that what you're gonna argue in your attempt to label me a racist?

I guess you need to learn how to be more clear when you write? Because the "whenever a Jewish person decided to be offended" part leads me to believe that you are saying that Jewish people are offended.... Soooo.....

I said it came dangerously close, and asked you to clarify your statement (which you didn't do yet). No one thinks all germans of that era were evil. But to say something like "every time a Jewish person decides to be offended" is a bit harsh, man.

Except that wasn't what you quoted in your original comment. Your anti-Semitic comment was in relation to my comment regarding all Germans being evil.

So you don't understand the difference between 'person' and 'people'? Or are you just pretending to not understand the difference?

What?? It doesn't make a difference here. You made the assumption that a Jew was offended (and Jews, since you said "whenever"). That is the point...

Okay Byrnzie here you go,

A. I have said nothing that can be construed as being hateful. Except maybe by someone on the defensive.

B. You have a record of posting on or creating anti-Isreal threads. Isreal is the "Jewish State". If you continuously post anti-Isreal comments and threads it makes you anti-semitic in the eyes of many many people. Not just Jewish people.

If you are indeed not anti-semitic I stand corrected. But your recent statements and your history of anti-Isreal posts seem to say otherwise. Plus you come across in many of your posts as a very angry person.

I hope you have a great rest of your day and shalom alechem

"Whenever a Jewish person decides to be offended" is not racist. Even in the context which it was presented. I have not read all of his posts, but I have in this thread and i don't see the racist or anti-Semitic tone.

Not referring to you here, but seriously, judging from my posting history, only a certified idiot would claim that I'm racist, or anti-Semitic.

And criticizing the crimes of the state of Israel does mot make someone anti-Semitic. But then you already know that.


I suggest you read through my comments again.

Whoa! We need a mediator here. Bentlyspop, I really don't see Byrnzie as a racist and Byrnzie, I really don't see Bentlyspop as being hateful. I often find myself paying close attention to what both of you say in your posts on many subjects because you both seem like very intelligent, critical critical thinkers who truly do care about what's going on in the world. Sorry to step in the middle of this- it's just that I appreciate what both of you have to say.

Carry on (peaceably, if possible).
