    Where are you getting this info? Most of the world is NOT circumcised. You do know that, right? I suggest you check with a medical professional. Absent some kind of foreskin anomaly, circumcision is simply a preference. There is no proved health risk associated with not being circumcised.

    The Republicans have revealed themselves to be as fiscally irresponsible as Democrats.

    The Bible advocates stoning and slavery, the Torah speaks of avoiding menstruating women and never wearing mixed fabrics. Most Christian and Jews are able to look at the texts for what they are, works of man written thousands of years ago. NOT as the absolute truth or word of God. Why do we assume all Muslims take the Koran literally? Most do not.

    Here in California a lot of “old hippies” ARE Jews. Often they’re practicing Buddhism or Paganism, but they are not anti-Semitic. Also, it is NOT anti-Semitic to question what the Israeli government is doing in the Occupied Territories. Not all Jews blindly support Israel. Kudos to any Gentile politician willing to take the heat from AIPAC for trying to change Israel’s abusive policies. There are more protests against the Israeli government in Tel Aviv than anywhere else on earth, BY JEWS.

    How come so many people of color assume all whites have had everything handed to them on a silver platter?

    I know many college educated middle and upper middle class blacks and Latinos. However I also live in a city that has a large population of poor blacks and Latinos. While there may be a cultural element, ( i.e. rural Mexicans who tend to encourage their sons to drop out of high school and go to work at menial jobs), it has more to do with mindset than race. It is said that Asians tend to value education, but there are also plenty of Asian-Americans whose parents stress proximity to family over actual job success. Pretty much any culture where kids are expected to stay in the same neighborhood as their parents will not be as successful as those where people are free to pursue opportunities where ever they exist. But it’s not always racial. There’s a big difference between my American-born Latino mayor with his law degree and a farmer from Oaxaca who might not care if his children can read and write. And yet, statisticians would put them both in the same racial category.

    Did anyone suggest that the high divorce stats were the fault of one gender over another? Both men and women can be stupid.

    Target pays a decent wage. Target allows employees to unionize. Target has never been cited for locking illegal alien janitors in its stores at night. Target doesn’t go out of its way to kill local businesses, and lastly, Target doesn’t randomly ban products from its stores based on religious hysteria or political pressure. Oh, and Target also doesn’t sell guns. This is why there are two Targets within driving distance to me and the L.A. City Council has routinely barred Walmart from setting up shop anywhere within city limits. There are no Walmarts in Los Angeles. I doubt the transgendered employee I saw in the West Hollywood Target store last week could even get hired at a Walmart.

    Restaurants would lose so much business by jacking their prices up another 15% that many people would stop going in. The restaurant business is already one of the lowest profit margin fields to go into, the reason so many of them fail. Of course they try to wring the maximum amount of work out of you for the smallest wage. Plus in Texas you’re probably having to compete with undocumented people willing to work for far less than you because they don’t have to pay taxes on that income.

    The whole pale is more beautiful thing in Asian cultures seems to be waning. According to NPR there are even tanning salons turning up in China, Vietnam, Singapore and Malaysia. You might examine WHY you’re more attracted to pale skin. Is it your social conditioning? I’m pale as the driven snow but very attracted to swarthy Mediterranean guys. Am I racist because I don’t find pale skin attractive?

    Young metros who go to clubs might desire a particular look but that is not ubiquitous to all gay men. Most of my gay friends are just average looking. They say there’s someone for everyone. Just try not to obsess over your appearance. That kind of vain insecurity is unappealing to all stripes of sexual orientation.

    Probably about as many as New Zealanders who thought they were voting for Francis Scott Key instead of John Key. Your very question informs the reader as to what dullards you think Americans are. Thanks a lot.

    As you are living in Chicago you are as informed on this subject as any other random American. Ask yourself. Your question would make so much more sense if you weren’t actually living in the U.S.

    Other than a few Neo-Con whack jobs who want exploitable labor, who are you talking about? I have never met anyone who wants to “keep the poor peoples poor”. I think you have a chip on your shoulder.
