    Would not take a whole lot of convincing to get me to snort a fat line off a toilet seat... Or concrete or your wife's t*** etc. What?

    They had the great chance to make the Native American culture great again but instead chose to marginalize it.....

    The Jewish diaspora took a lot of power, but is Judaism really enough Culture outside of Religion.....

    Hey, Chris Columbus was Italian explorer......

    I'm having some trouble following the connection {much less picking up on the point} you were trying to make regarding the Jews. Care to elucidate?

    They control a vast segment of the financial sector, you see with the ties to Israel.

    Yet it is not something that has reflected back as the Culture of the Common people......also I view it as a highly religious community.

    I know it is the D and D, mine is not really a political statement.

    One simple question: Do you view Kosher food as a great enrichment to a country? I prefer a hamburger.

    Another comparison: Nobody likes England's food or weather, it is really basic, tons would rather have Chicken Masala at the local Indian.

    Thank you for your response.

    Did you know that the Jews' increased involvement in the financial sector was actually a result of church policy banning Christians from engaging in usury?

    How about that less than 20% of American Jews even keep kosher?

    You may consider them a highly religious community, but did you know that nearly 90% of Jews globally are not highly religious?

    Great post. I'm not claiming to be an expert but I would suspect of the unhealthy especially fried Chinese food in restaurants comes from here.

    Certainty you would consider the influence of Hollywood as something not insignificantly reflected in the culture of the common people, correct? Yep, that was the Jews.

    Did you know that while making up less than 0.2% of the global population, Jews represent over 20% of the world's Nobel Prize recipients?

    Thanks for the information, my excursion into it wasn't my main point I assume if you say so....80% are not orthodox and would surely not ask of their Significant Other to join Judaism.

    Are you sure about that melting pot?

    Tiktok originated in China. It's literally American now.

    General Tso Chicken is very much an American creation. That's one of my guilty pleasures.

    I still remember the first time I had it. My favorite American Chinese food dish by far

    I think I saw this on the history channel, a big reason rail road companies hired Chinese workers in the 1800s is because they were healthier than Americans because of their diet
