You probably call your many Jewish buddies soft too when they don't laugh at your oven jokes
In what world did anything I wrote have bigotry attached to it? I admit I have a low tolerance for idiots but I have a low tolerance for idiots of all races and creeds. And for the record, my very best friend growing up was indeed Jewish. And yes, there were jokes going from both sides that some would consider in bad taste. We are still friends to this day and he is an Emmy winning writer with lots of friends all over the world, so I guess I'm worthy enough.
I want to ask you something in all seriousness. With all your political rantings and personal judgements against people who don't share your views, have you ever done (or currently do) anything to make a positive difference in the world? You have your little group of 4 or 5 other like minded people. You laugh and criticize, all the time elbowing each other and snickering about how ignorant, how uneducated, how unskillled, and how ignorant everyone is that sees things differently. So I ask you (and your group) again: What value do you bring the world? How have you earned the right to be taken seriously? And yes,
I realize you have the guaranteed right of free speech (for the time being). I am talking about making a value judgement.
And this is why I don't take you seriously. You throw down the gauntlet all the time regardless of the level of engagement and you think your world view or mine can be haggled over with either threats or challenges. WTF are you to ask for proof of my contribution to others in the world? This is about your behavior on the board, not a pizzing match over who is a bigger do-gooder in the "real world".
It is a laughable irony you would challenge me to prove my worth when you readily make snide comments about the worth of others. Multiple times in the politics thread and not just here you have unashamedly shown you have an incredibly dark and authoritarian vision regarding those you disagree with. And you want to talk about my goodness?
Your version of tolerance is letting those you disagree with live. Even if you claim it is a joke you did it more than once and there is nothing PC about pointing out what seems to make you tick. In your braggadoccio POV you will grudgingly grant your political nemeses a stay of execution. You haughtily said you will provide "protection" for those you consider your lessers.
You have always approached every disagreement with explicit violence in your rhetoric. It doesn't matter whether it is over hoops or politics, you consistently attack in the most eggregious way. There is nobody more pompous and overblown than you are so stuff it.
And I'd love to know what the bolded part means.
