Antithesis. Synthesis.<br /><br />Something quite like that.<br /><br />In the meantime, Palestinian views on the question, if listening to Palestinian advocates in the west is any indication, have hardly changed one iota since the fall of 1947.Mike L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06450806807610560873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-65382466960443630432011-12-02T15:44:13.354-08:002011-12-02T15:44:13.354-08:00Stuart,

I haven't actually seen the whole thing, I saw the two guys that wrote it (I think it was last Christmas eve actually) doing bits and pieces of it, along with some new material. I guess it's about a non-Jewish guy who want to marry a Jewish woman. Because if he does, he'll never have to make another decision for the rest of his life. <br /><br />So, as Karma knows, I'm recently single. I checked out match.com at the urging of friends. I'm a little old for it, and a little lazy. Looked for women in my area, sent out maybe 20 or 25 emails over a few week period. Didn't get a single response. Most of them read without the recipients even looking at my profile or pics. Not a one. Haven't given up, but I'm not terribly optomistic.<br /><br />So my young neice suggests I try Jdate. I did. Posted a few photos. A few blah blah blah words about myself. Three days later, I've got like 12 emails. I haven't initiated any of them. Two of them telling me I should switch my pictures around so the 3rd one comes up first because it's a better picture. Three of them telling me what part of town I should live in (I just recently moved to a new city). Recommendations for shuls to attend. A few of them wanted to meet for coffee to explain to me the best tricks for online dating. <br /><br />But I must say, based only on the photographs, the average female participant there is much more attractive than the average on match. <br /><br />I'm not really sure if I should embrace it, or run away as fast as I can. Updates to follow.Stuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11543858441307618417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-55665851511642036362011-12-02T14:41:47.244-08:002011-12-02T14:41:47.244-08:00Thanks for the Open Thread without Nazis...

I...Thanks for the Open Thread without Nazis...<br /><br />;)<br /><br />I think I should buy a lottery ticket this weekend (do they still sell those? heh). My train actually came into Portland 20 minutes early yesterday! Almost makes up for the endless series of disasters on the way out to NJ a couple weeks ago. Almost. Good to be home, regardless...JayinPhiladelphiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14556212008313470286noreply@blogger.com
