I’ll ignore for the moment the totally obnoxious conversion attempts Jews have made on me, and just point out that the Christian Bible preaches a doctrine of proselytizing. I agree it’s disrespectful. It’s rude for anyone of any faith to try to shove their belief system down anyone else’s throat. The better question might be why can’t people of all faiths respect that atheists are making their own choices and if hell awaits, so be it?

When the people caring for your loved one earn less than a fry cook at McDonald’s what motivation do they have to behave professionally? Further more most of them have no real training. There likely ARE some very good nursing homes around but the image is based on the norm, filthy places staffed by high school drop outs with borderline sociopathic personalities.

Why would they single age out as a deterrent to driving when knowledge of the rules, basic English, moderate anger management control and simple baseline intelligence are not taken into consideration?

Name : Dot, Gender : Female, Age : none, City : L.A., State : CA, Country : United States, Social class : Middle class,I’m not elderly and I’m afraid to live in most parts of my city. Our mayor happens to be very gang friendly, but barring that… Society is getting more violent. Police departments are more cash strapped and understaffed and political correctness run amok has made it nearly impossible for cops to actually arrest gang members without fear of criticism by activists. The elderly are perhaps more worried since they are seen as easy targets and because they remember a time when the streets weren’t controlled by thugs.

Name : Dot, Gender : Female, Age : none, City : L.A., State : CA, Country : United States, Social class : Middle class,A lot of older Americans, especially those with parents who lived through WWII were taught this doctrine of American Exceptionalism that now most people view as a form of bigotry. But, habits die hard and folks still think that our lifestyle (big cars, cheap gas, mass consumerism and unilateral intervention internationally) is a birth right for beating the Axis powers. PS, Bush destroyed our stock portfolios as well (with a lot of help from Reagan).

Name : Dot, Gender : Female, Age : none, City : L.A., State : CA, Country : United States, Social class : Middle class,My state has the highest paid teachers in the country, and some of the worst schools and test scores. There comes a point where the system is so broken that simply throwing money at it is pointless. We need a Secretary of Education that is willing to dissect the public schools, weed out the bad teachers, get rid of a lot of the highly paid administrators and start the process over. We also need more students who actually want to learn and parents who care enough to show up at parent/teacher conferences.

Unless the man in question was fasting, sweating, working out to lose weight (as a boxer or wrestler might), chances are he was just sitting on a time bomb that finally went off.

It’s only when you start agitating and passing laws against them that they get righteously pissed. And, what is their “lifestyle choice”? My gay friends range from unattached young party boys to middle-aged, married lesbians with children. There is no one “gay lifestyle”.

Ergo, women who don’t pair up prior to 40 often end up alone. So we have to be more decisive about these things. Also, any woman who wants children will want to find a responsible parenting partner before she’s 35 or so.

Some jobs aren’t meant to be careers. They are for students, part timers and the elderly to make a few extra bucks. If you want to earn a real living, you will need some form of higher education, and you can’t even get into vocational training without a GED. Why set your goals so low? It’s sad.

They are disproportionately represented in my professional field and kissed up to more than discriminated against. So it probably depends on where you’re living. Here there is certainly no widespread discrimination against Jews (Mel Gibson notwithstanding).

There are organizations inside Israel that lobby against the behavior of their nation. If only Americans were so motivated.

Thankfully most Reform Jews are less bigoted about these things. As an African-American it may interest you to know that Michelle Obama has a cousin who is a rabbi.
