“Yes, we can be sure that Catholics (Gem, be honest when you speak) are horribly bigoted, but we can’t raise any qustions about an Islamic “cultural center” that wants to open at Ground Zero. ”
benson- you are attacking Muslims and yet you’re upset by what Gem said? You don’t see the irony here?
The Departed and The Godfather are great movies that represent certain aspects of both Irish and italian American groups. they hardly represent all Italians or all Irish.
Benson – i never called YOU a bigot – ever – i don’t think you are
I just said many italian and Irish folks are
but there are many Korean and black and jewish folks who are too – but with this mosque thing you don’t see those groups protesting? as i said – i just call it like I see it
I have no problem admitting to any of the shortcomings of folks in my ethnic group or associations. YOu want mafia stories? I can give you 100’s of them (including about a capo I know who rents out rooms to a group of hasidics where they screw on the side – pretty funny). I know more “Wilyo’s” than anybody else on this board, probably.
Having said that, I don’t make broad-brush statements about any ethnic group, as you have done above. In most cases on this OT, you can’t, because of political correctness. For other ethnic groups, you can do so, with relative impunity, as the thread above demonstrates.
benson, I don’t think anyone said that all Catholics or all of any group are entirely bigotted.
There are bigotted catholics, jews, other Christians, muslims, Buddhists, italians, irish, Japanese, etc, etc, etc. But nobody here is argiung that an entire group is bigotted.
BrooklynCouch, as shown by his staements is a bigot. I don’t think you or anyone else here, except winelover, is bigoted.
Yep, I’m married. I will be faithful to my wife and vows and will NOT visit the red-light district. Too bad this didn’t happen when I was single!

I have a travel blog and also work for a travel industry trade publisher as Caribbean/Latin America editor.
Not a bad idea Dave, but can’t do it. To be make the book really authentic, I’d have to sample some of the “attractions.” As Gemini points out, my marriage precludes me from any “outside” sexual activity. I know that’s not an issue for you, though.

Gem;
You are full of shit, in plain English.

Liz Ann seems like a cool lady too. I have favorable impression of her. might have to fight with DH over her

“dh, do you know who Liz Ann Sonders is???? She’s ex-US trust and is now Schwab’s Chief Investment Strategist.”
