    Why should morals engendered in an Iron Age have more priority in our modern Information Age; regarding only human sexuality instead of the abomination of hypocrisy?

    You have your opinions and I have my own. I don't agree and that's it.

    That was a lot of work, for what, I'm not sure.

    Because if someone is anti-social in one area, he is probably anti-social in others. Therefore, even though this urge may be harmless as far as keeping the species going, it still signifies a general anti-social attitude.

    For example, why should we care about someone who does it with animals? Because if he's that sick, he's probably also sick in something we should care about. It's consistent with, "I never trust anybody who doesn't (anything associated with lack of character)." For example, GOPers tried to tie Clinton's womanizing in with being untrustworthy in political matters. But this is not necessarily the Guilt by Association fallacy, which is often a valid judgment.

    So, how does that apply to someone who is "sick" due to the abomination of hypocrisy?

    Sure, who knows. Bottom line is that a caucasion being "anti semitic" is pretty much hating oneself.

    So where was the mighty independent Jewish kingdom in the midst of the Babylonian, Assyrian, and Egyptian empires?

    It doesn't apply because he really is sick. What's worse, he is contagious.

    I meant in a manner analogous to this point of view:

    Sure, if you don't count Arabs as semites. In addition to the Jews, you'd have to include the Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, and people from India as allies in supremacy. Whatever we Whites take pride in should be applied to others if it fits. The Nazis and Klan even hated other Whites, so they didn't have a point. But the White-haters want to tie it all in with a true racism not based on any standards except trivial things like skin color. Do "racists" hate White people who get a tan? Do all humans hate rats just because the way rats look and not the vermins' behavior? Where do we get the feeling that cats are our friends? Because they are the enemies of our enemies.

    The dishonesty and lack of logic of Whites who call other Whites "racists" prove that they don't have a point. They just want to feel morally superior because they are such misfits outside of their self-serving judgments. It's the only way that losers can avoid feeling like losers.

    Most cultures around the world are more racist than western society by far but, yes, most racism is stupid. Racism in places like China and India is more in the form of classism. In India you are born into a certain class (caste) and can never rise out of that caste.

    Chinese are very classist "high class" and "low class" Low class are treated with disdain and this is acceptable. The difference here is that the Chinese do not go out of their way to hate these people. They just do not care about them.

    The neo nazi folks are just haters. Evil people and dark souls who want to hate for the sake of hating or whiners who want to blame someone other than themselves for their worthless lives.

    You should probably first ask if Eve was Adam's first and only wife. Although asking who is Adam actually is, considering what is written about Adam in the Torah from which the Old Testament is drawn out.

    Does anyone else believe Adam and Eve were "socially irresponsible" by not eating from the fruit of the tree of life as soon as they ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil?

    Right, tie it in with Hitler. What Internet law is that called? While you're at it, look even more ridiculous by calling the Israelis "Nazis."

    True prejudice is very rare, because that word means pre-judgment. Most "racism" is made after experience with a group's behavior. It is an imaginary sin, made up by the ruling class to humiliate the White people who weren't born rich. If we ever wake up, we will be their greatest enemy, which they already know and also know that they don't stand a chance against us. So
    this nonsense talk about racism is the old "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" strategy. For a clique of Chickenhawks, they're really good at class warfare. Until White people start fighting back.

    Or as Woody Allen said to a nun, "Jesus was very well adjusted for an only child."

    Adam comes from the Hebrew meaning '[Red] Earth' while Eve comes from the Hebrew awwâ, 'living, life', from yâ, 'to live.' They are archetypes rather than actual people in my opinion.
