AshenLady....

Did you just miss the part about how you’re roughly as stupid as Gonzomax? Why on Earth would I try to explain anything so that it could penetrate your neutron-dense skull? And seeing as how pitifully stupid you are, and you can’t even figure out that it’d be on you to show how my comments are the same as hers, and not on me to show that they’re different, why should I waste time on your retarded-class Fetch Quest of a request?

No, as I’ve pointed out you have a sub-functional brain. Perhaps, when God was handing out brains, he gave you an etch-a-sketch? Do you hear a sound like sand sliding if you tilt your head quickly in one direction or another?

And since stupidity is the gift that keeps giving, you later went at it again.

As pointed out, even common idioms are something your tiny etch-a-sketch cannot process, so you just spew pure liquid stupid. Just so we’re clear here, of course I view Arabs, Muslims, Jews, Asians, Africans, etc… as fully human. You, however, are somewhat sub-human. I think you are probably some evolutionary throwback, an Australopithecus afarensis thawed out of some glacier somewhere and taught to post on the internet and do party tricks. After your “daddy” and “mommy” taught you how to annoy people online, one of the first things they taught you was how to catch a thrown potato chip in your mouth, wasn’t it?

Oh my god that quoting hack job just gave me a headache. I don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about but I’m begging you to just stop quoting.

Reading is hard.

Especially when nobody gives a shit about what you have to say.

That’s okay sweetie, thinking is hard too.

:rolleyes: Italics and condescension. What a crafty formula you have going on there!

Somehow, I may be able to cope with your lack of approval.

Let’s see if I have this straight…

There was this Jewish kid, see, and he grabbed this wolf by the ears. The wolf cried out but the villagers ignored the cry of the wolf because wolves are generally full of shit. So he wolf ate the kid out of spite. The End.

Hence the expression, “Ear today, gone tomorrow”.

Why are they spelling metaphors as metaphores?

Repeated typo. Pretty sure there was a joke about it somewhere too, like metaphore is a signal like semaphore. Been a while, Elvis’ angry stupidity stood out, but I don’t recall the jokes, tbh.

Good old Frothy. Does anyone take you seriously anymore, aside from a few nutjobs like not_alice?

Maybe you should try your angry, loony bit at another board where your frothy history isn’t so well-established (and searchable)…

As an aside, I would like to suggest that this thread shows disturbing evidence of an ‘It could never happen here’ attitude.

At this point in history, is a US pogrom* likely? Maybe not. But do we truly believe we are now so enlightened, peaceful, and accepting of all diversity that there could never be an organized attempted destruction of an ethnic or religious group? (Not if we’ve been reading Ashen’s posts.)

If I were Arab and/or Muslim in America right now, I would be stashing some savings in Canada; maybe I would be if I were Jewish, too.

  • Is ‘pogrom’ used to refer exclusively to Jew?

Anything could happen anywhere, given enough time and the right circumstances. That doesn’t mean that in the near-to-medium future a pogrom of any sort is “likely” in America, and it’s hardly living in denial to say so.

Furthermore, the Muslims are not going to take over and impose Sharia law on everyone, Communism is not going to become the main economic system, Spanish is not going to become the official language of the US (at least not for several decades), and robots are not stealing your luggage, despite what anyone on this or any other messageboard says.

Happy now?

However, a massive criminal conspiracy is breaking into your hotel rooms and gassing you in your sleep, hoping you’ll write it off as jet lag.

(Anyone else remember that classic from GQ?)

Well, yeah. That one is definitely true. Either that, or it was the burritos they ate on the plane.

No, not really …

I have watch a steady dimunition of my privacy this centuary. I have witnesses several waves of ethnic and religious based hatred. I am not so sanguine as you appear to be.

As for the rest, I am more worried about the imposition of christian law than sharia in the US; Is that delusional? I am aware that Spanish has been spoken on this continent longer than any other European language. I always pack a change of clothes in my carry-on because luggage does go astray.

The US has been a nice place to live for a lot of different types of people, but many peoples have been demonized, marginalized, and robbed by the government. I see no evidence to believe that will never happen again. Were I a Jew with a reasonable knowledge of European history, I might not be so confident it would not happen to the Jews in the US in my lifetime.

I have no problem with speaking Spanish or not, and I don’t care about Sharia law here in the USA, although it’s a travesty in the middle east, nor do I care one scintilla about communism, nor any aspect of it.

However, Islamic terrorism is a constant threat everywhere, anywhere, at any time. I haven’t heard of any Swedes or Norwegians blowing anything up. Tell me all about Scandinavian terrorism that has impeded the freedom to go on an airplane without being searched like a criminal.

Sure, except if there are pogroms against Jews in the United States, having a bag packed to go to Canada probably ain’t gonna do much good. Like, what if Hitler 2.0 was born in Canada, and then when he becomes dictator combines Canada and the United States into one country? How’s that going to work out for you?

If you’re paranoid about getting killed in a pogrom for being Jewish, where exactly are you going to go where you’re less likely to be killed for being a Jew than the United States? The answer to that question isn’t Israel, because of the whole, you know, terrorism thing.

If you know of a country that is more friendly to Jews, you’re welcome to keep your bags packed, your ticket purchased, and keep one eye on CNN all day so you know when you’re going to need to flee the country. But it seems to me that if things change so there are pogroms here in the United States, that other country that you think is so safe is probably going to be having pogroms as well. And by that time Israel is likely to be a couple of radioactive craters.
