Was: Israel is at War; Now: Scoopers diagnose your anti-Semitism

Sure, but he said "inheritance" so I just went off of that.  No arguments on the path, I just think thats a totally different angle to it all than common implications (not directly citing anyone here) that very successful children from money are just successful cause they came from money. 

I honestly know more middling/life long middle management type people from trust funds (the ones with a totally normal, not super impressive or lucrative job yet drive a very expensive car/have a really nice condo) than the ones who spun it into something impressive among the "rich kids" I knew in college and into my 30s in Chicago.

Thank god this isn't X or I'd have 20 replies calling me a bootlicker.

You effen bootlicker!

Lots of pride. Tons of envy. Two of the 7 deadly sins alive and well on Scoop.

No idolatry!

Your response is well noted and true. I tried to be careful and write "in some cases" to emphasize that this is not a normal rule. But in general, if I had to rank in importance things that will help you succeed in life, I'd probably rank it like this:

1. Connections. Getting a door open for an opportunity is one of the biggest limitations to success.
2. Resources (e.g. capital).
3. Willing to take risks when they present themselves.
4. Hard Work
5. Luck
6. Intelligence

The rankings don't mean that one can't have success without #'s 1 and 2, it just means it'll take more of 4-6. And number 3, is a big limiter for many people. It takes risk to hit home runs. And having access to 1 and 2, minimizes the real risk some people have to take.

I agree with you. The students who say such things are idiots, and possibly antisemites (though more likely most are just young and ignorant).

I hope you'll agree with me that what students think or say isn't as big a problem for Jews as, for example, the former president of the United States dining with a white supremacist who would like to see Jews wiped off the face of the earth.

Right.

Houthis in Yemen are taking their action as long as Israel continues the genocide in Gaza.

So the US can put pressure on Israel to stand down. Or take escalatory action by bombing a sovereign nation.

They both feel they're in the right here, when really more bombs doesn't help anything.

They're both wrong.

Reformed Judaism is simply a "pick and choose" form of religion, aina?

Ask the Hasidic Jews in New York how they feel about Israel.

aka, you don't know chit as usual.

[4everwarriors]

Huh, hey?

[Hards Alumni]

Huh, hey?

I regret to inform you not all Jewish people are Zionists, and I cited a specific group.  Wipe off your specs or grab another cup of joe to defog your brain.

The Israeli minister of national security believes Israel should occupy Gaza and re-locate all Palestinians.

Israel is in the Middle East or are you insinuating its people aren't actually from there

My great fear is, with the rise of anti-semitism in America, political leaders across the country will be afraid to admit it still exists in this country and will ban teaching about the holocaust or using the word holocaust in schools.

I just hope American children get taught about anti-semites like Henry Ford, Charles Coughlin and Charles Lindbergh.  Sadly, to protect children from our sketchy history, we'll probably not be allowed to teach about these Americans anymore

Some Holocaust victims learned useful skills in Nazi forced labor camps.

That's what Doc's boy, soon-to-be-ex-GOP-prez-candidate DeSantis, would claim.

There are deniers throughout the world. But, there are 6 million reasons to refute them, aina?
