You missed the subtlety. I meant (being a Jew) that I wish Christians or any non Jews, would just forget about us, that it would be safer for us if you did. World never safe for Jews.

I think that many Christians and Jewish people are coming together religiously now. My daughter-in-law is what is called a Messianic Jew, and she follows all of the old Jewish traditions, but believes in Jesus and is a Christian. I think that most Christians support Jewish people as God’s chosen people.
As far as I know, it is the atheists who are against Jewish religion and people.

Have a great time! We have friends that have a home on a hill overlooking the Castro (of course) in San Francisco. We went to stay with them but they never go into the city anymore because many of the stores have closed and it has lost some of its charm. However, during Pride Month I'm sure it will be an entertaining place to visit! :ROFLMAO:

Life has taught me a lot, I have been caregiver to many. Big tough men that never thought they would be taken to their knees by illness. To depend on the love and concern of others to get them through the tough times, not only physically but also mentally. You can say you have prepared is one thing but when the crap hits the fan you will need other kind humans to care for you in all ways.

No, I do not know you as a person but I know that all humans will come to a time in their lives they need tender loving care. Yes, I would consider a person's behavior before I stepped in to help. Why would anyone want to try to help someone that is abusive, angry and mean. I chose to take care of husband's and my best friend after he had a leg amputation. They were going to send him to a rehab place that would not give him the care he needed.

It was not easy, taking care of the area of surgery. It was not easy giving him a bath, I only did the body, he took care of the private areas. I washed his hair, gave him haircuts, trimmed his nails. I emptied urinals and took care of the bedside commode for the other. I cleaned his false teeth, cooked his diabetic meals and snacks. I did all his laundry and took care of him having a clean comfortable bed.

I gave my life to taking care of my husband when cancer struck. He was ill for 5 years until he passed. I also brought my mother into my home when she could no longer live alone.

You are so hard headed that you can't see your nose because of these stupid notions that you won't ever need help. Far be it from me to judge the perceptions you have formed. If you are lucky you will never suffer an illness or disability that would require help. May God bless you and call you home with a quick death without suffering. I pray for the same thing every day because I have seen the long hard way too many times.

How someone lives their life is their business, not mine, and I do not see it as any reason for a celebration,...................If you are gay, it is legally fine to do now, ....................

I think though, it has to be said that without their proactive declarations of existence, we'd still be seeing them being beaten and killed and denied rights because they are different. The world is full of variety but humans have an inordinate fear of the different other and the only way we get over that is to see it often enough that it becomes a non issue. It's not fair that anyone should have to live in fear just because they are different.
 
I am not celebrating pride month, not because I have anything against the LGBTQ etc. community, but because I am against singling people out, making anyone a protected class, and shoving your sexuality/gender preference/whatever in my face. You do you. But don’t try and influence my grandkids or try to normalize things that are patently on the fringe. Because I’m gonna do me.
 
this info comes off google as of now:

The religious affiliation of the Israeli population as of 2022 was 73.6% Jewish, 18.1% Muslim, 1.9% Christian, and 1.6% Druze. The remaining 4.8% included faiths such as Samaritanism and Baháʼí, as well as "religiously unclassified".

if you care to do any searches on the net the word Jew and Jewish are liberally used and I am sure would/could have been objected to by Israelis [some of whom are not Jews of course] if they wished to and attempted to have removed a long time ago when the net first started?? we talk about peoples all over the world sometimes by their countries ; ethnicities and religions ?? - Usa may once have been classified as mainly christian but now multicultural as is Britain and Australia - can we just get over it??

Don't you think that these special days we single out as special because of the hidden special meaning "whatever" is being celebrated. It is for those people. You can go to the party, but unless you are one of them, you stand back and watch, or you just don't care. The one's making the fuss are having the party. I guess it is kinda like having a birthday party. or Halloween. You either are a character in the parade or not. No big deal.?

With respect sir, I would not recommend you to anyone as a debater. You descend too often to personal remarks

Have you ever watched a debate between professional debaters? How often are there personal attacks present? I'd say about 50% or more. Debate topics are held by people. People author their thoughts and ideas. People, therefore, are subject to the debate material. Personal attacks are ever present in debates on whatever level.

Nice try, though, in attempting to join some others here in painting me as someone worthy of constant correction. Deal with the reality of interaction with others. I have been around people and interacting with people for a very long time. If you attempt to correct or lay criticism on me, you better do it openly and to my face (as you have). I respect you for that.

No, personal remarks do not belong in debates, or discussions - probably why most forums, including this one, have in their rules that personal attacks are not allowed.

I agree there are ways to make debates better but in general they do not interest me at all. In a debate one makes the best case possible for a position whether they support it themselves at all, including blowing as much smoke as needed. Debaters aren't interested in the truth, just in winning the debate.

I only engage in discussion now and only with those with a real interest in getting at the truth. I have no reason to coerce anyone to my point of view and no time to waste with anyone who doesn't feel the same way about that.

Resorting to personal attacks is a sign of a lack of one's own personal strength and character, as well as a weak position in a debate or trying to defend a indefensible position.
