Jewish people are part of an "ethnic group", which while similar is not the same as a "race". People of any race can practice judaism. Last I checked you cannot tick off "Jewish" on the census...correct me if I'm wrong about that.

There are, after all, black jewish people. As far as I understand from the little I know of judaism, there is no real concept of race. A "we are all human" sort of thing. Which is ironic because the black jewish community that is living in Israel has to deal with discrimination.

then why are you saying anything? you're talking out of your ass here.

Do you have anything of value to actually contribute, or did you just want to vent? I gave my reasoning and if you don't agree with it, that's fine with me. It wasn't out of my ass, it was off of the internet, where most people find information these days. If you would like to counter, and explain where judaism stands on the issue of race be my guest

It's tricky, because it's extremely difficult to be converted into Judaism, if you are not bor n Jew, and because, if you're born one, you remain Jew even if you don't practice or even believe at all.

It's not a race in the old (and misguided) understanding, but pretty close. Much close than to, say, being Catholic or born-again Christian.

If you do cocaine on the weekends, soon you will be doing cocaine every day. That is why she was at that apt - she was making her cocaine Costco run. buying in bulk to get her through the week and something happened.

I used to do coke recreationally on the weekends here and there. I'm now a suburban mom who can't even tolerate a glass of wine.

My friend dated a drug dealer in college and did coke all day every day for about a year and a half. She is now a goody two shoes mom of three living in BFE.

Did you ever have a weekend like this woman did? Doing coke with friends in a hotel room, going to bars and drinking (possibly more coke) and later winding up at a drug dealer's apartment where you did even more coke?

A married professional woman with 3 young kids was described as being a "regular" in the drug dealers apartment building. Does that sound like a recreational user to you? Honestly, that sounds completely off the rails to me....for her to regularly jeopardize her career, her kids, her health, her safety, her marriage like that. She had to have a very real problem. Addiction is a horrible, horrible thing.

I don't think I need to be an expert on the matter to understand that a religion isn't typically used as a placeholder for race. But I've also heard that jewish people discriminate a great deal vs anyone not of a particular ethnicity and say they cannot be jews "because of that", so if you take that into account it makes more sense why some people would confuse race and religion.

Yikes, talking out of your ass and now relying on offensive generalities. You might want to be more informed....

There's a reason for that - and it isn't for the reasons you are saying. think about it.

I was responding to the bolded comment.

Since I was a recreational coke user, I knew many other recreational coke users. I know one person who turned into an addict and which resulted in her becoming a call girl. The rest turned out just like anyone else. College educated and now employed or with families and non-users.

I'm not advocating doing coke by any means, but recreational user does not often end as mother of 3, under 5 dead in NYC with panties in her purse. This concept reminds me of Nancy Reagan and "Just Say No"

I think that a person who is doing coke every weekend on a recreational basis is playing with fire. A person who is doing coke every day has a pretty serious habit going on - that is not recreational. I'm not sure how often you were doing and where you were getting it and what you mean by "recreational" . If you mean that you did it sometimes when you ran into it at a party - yeah, that's recreational. If you were going downtown to your dealer's apt and buying it direct...not recreational.

Right. Again, I was responding to the bolded comment. I did coke on the weekends, and I never ended up doing it every single day. In my limited experience as a drug user in my early 20s/late teens this scenario of addiction only happened to one person.

Would I want my kids to follow my path and risk it HELL NO. Though a slim number of people end up addicts, when they do, it's absolutely devastating.

The thing about coke is that you don't know how it will affect you and one use could end tragically.

Clever. I suppose you could say the same thing about men. Not sure why you use the cut off of 30 though. It's more like 24.

30ish but never did or tried any drug or ever got drunk just because in my familoes home country plants that are considered drugs here and that dumb americans exploit and use for recreation are used only by the poor to remedy hunger and pain and alcohol actually really lowers your intelligence or ibtelligence potential. Actually both do from observance.
