  1. “This is such a douche bag of a thing to say.”

    stevie, you were the one celebrating people – innocent people in at least one case – getting shot because you say it will bring real estate prices down.
    But you don’t care b/c you’re just trolling for attention.

  2. >>Who patently reject any idea of getting ahead, and who even if you gave it all to them, would rather go back tot their simple life?

    This is such a douche bag of a thing to say. Who would not want to get ahead in life ?????

  3. ENY, you’re absolutely right. Not denying the poverty levels here and for matter of fact, when I donate money or volunteer, I usually try to donate to people/charities here as opposed to other countries since I live here and people here need my help just like people all over the world (That’s just my personal preference).

    You basically made the same point that I tried to make, that we do have more opportunity here than other places in the world.

    Pete, My goat is very fortunate to be here as well.

    bxgrl, I am not talking about the past. Prejudice still exists here just like it exists everywhere else. Even with us having a black president, being a wrong color still can close a lot of doors for you, I don’t deny it. My point is that if you are any color or race here today, you can put yourself through medical or law school and become a fairly nationally recognized doctor or lawyer or serve as a political figure. On the other hand, being a Jew in the motherland, even today, you may not have those opportunities no matter how smart or successful you try to be.
