Poll question: A guy once called me anti-semitic for disliking the greed of the wealthy.
Edited on Tue Mar-15-05 05:52 PM by HypnoToad
I never even implied "Jews", let alone said. I said and meant 'rich'. 'Rich' as in the hoardes of CEOs and other ilk who use unethical means to acquire money (sweatshops, exploitation, robbery, theft, et al) From what I've seen, Jews are hardly alone in that vile practice. Stuff he's heard me talk about hundreds of times before, even with witnesses.

I never called him on the vaseless accusation, but surely that would make HIM the anti-semite, not me?

3. Done.
:crazy:

But done. If people think I am, so be it. It's a stupid assertion on their part, but then I'd never be so dumb as to call a human rational anyway. :D

See? I am obviously anti-human. :7

2. The Big Lie: Accuse your opponent of what you are guilty of.
Worked for Goebbels. Working for Bush**. Why not this guy, too?

4. What are the religious affiliations of the wealthiest 1% in the U.S.
...is there a public listing anywhere or are people just supposed to rely on their own bigotry to know that? How about racial origins of the wealthiest 1%? Using such a matrix, one could then apply moral attributes by each wealthy person's name to see if the U.S. has any greater or lesser share of vile and evil wealthy people in positions of power and influence.

5. Relax, you're not an anti-semite. Your friend IS a wack job, though.
BTW, what is a "vaseless accusation"?

Were the two of you having this conversation in a flower shop?

6. HE believes rich = jewish, not you.
I'd say he's the closet anti-semite.
