Have you done it?

For example, statements like this are some we see and hear often:

• "Real" women aren't skinny (about how being larger or curvier is more real)
• Women with fake breasts are fake (about trying to accept one's own natural breasts)
• "Real" men don't have big *****es (about trying to accept average ***** size)
• It's fake to make noise during sex (about being more quiet oneself)
• No one really wants to do that sexually (about something one person doesn't want to do)
• That girl is a **** (about not having as much sexual or romantic opportunity as someone wants)
• That guy is a man***** (same as above)
• Straight people have boring sex (about trying to address feeling marginalized for being queer)
• Gay people can't have long-term relationships (about feeling homophobia or envy as a straight person)

Cutting others down to build oneself up is a losing strategy. Not only does it not usually result in really feeling that much better about oneself -- especially since you then add on feeling like a jerk for doing that -- it also hurts others. But it's something a lot of people do, and probably any of us have done at one point or another.

Have you done it? If so, have you stopped? What got you to stop? What do you do instead, now, to be confident in yourself and feel good about yourself without doing something at someone else's expense? If you still do it, why do you think you do? What do you think you need to do to stop?

Of course, if you've been on the end of the "other" being put down, this is a good place to talk about what that's like, too.

Let's here some comments please..

I don't knock others down to build myself up, I just do it to garner a few laffs.

My test is always, "Is the joke funnier than it is mean?" I don't always succeed, but that's my general rule before I get snarky with someone.

I'm also a 'glass half full' type of person. I don't give thumbs downs. But quite often I'll post something back at someone if I disagree with them.

To be fair to Walter, he does hand out thumbs ups on occasion...and he doesn't hold grudges.

The former vice president, who has been dropping hints recently about making a run for the presidency, urged Washington's allies to come together to engage in a new great "competition of systems" between the West and "authoritarian powers."

In an address reminiscent of Winston Churchill's speech at Fulton, Missouri at the dawn of the Cold War, Biden attacked America's great power competitors, accusing them of sowing values that oppose those of the West.
"We're navigating a new relationship with a rising China, and a declining but aggressive Russia. China seeks to establish itself as a hegemon and a global power broker, and Russia is using every tool at its disposal to destabilize and sow discord," Biden said, speaking at Chatham House.

Earlier, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Hezbollah of building a missile factory and hiding it in the civilian infrastructure of Beirut's international airport. Netanyahu showed an aerial image of the alleged factory site during his speech at the UN General Assembly.

Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has commented on the recent accusations by the Israeli prime minister of constructing a missile production and launch facility at Beirut's international airport. He said that the organization would not "help the enemy in its psychological war" by denying the information.

Crude is the only style the collective knows. They seem to be unaware the IQ of a mob is always lower than that of an individual, Jews do not individualism, you are a perfect example of why you cannot clean up your own shit so you fuk with others to make you failed state looks less like the corrupt entity that it is deep inside.

Here is an article illustrating the shameful anti Semitism of Cdn LIE-berals and Muslim racists. With some comments of my own in brackets):

Anti-Jew speech by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas condemned by United States, EU, UN

From Associated Press. Published: May 2, 2018. Updated: May 2, 2018 1:23 PM EDT

Filed Under: Toronto SUN/ News/ World

JERUSALEM — Remarks by the Palestinian president about the causes of 20th century anti-Semitism in Europe were sharply condemned as anti-Semitic by the United Nations, European Union, United States and Israel on Wednesday.

In rambling remarks that were part of a lengthy speech to the Palestine Liberation Organization parliament on Monday, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said it was the Jews’ “social function,” including money lending, that caused animosity toward them in Europe, citing what he said were books by Jewish authors. He also portrayed the creation of Israel as a European colonial project, saying “history tells us there is no basis for the Jewish homeland.”

(OH right! Lets just throw out all that Jewish Kingdom history and forget there were still many Jews living in Jerusalem when the Ottoman Empire was destroyed by British armies thus FREEING Muslims and Jews!)

The U.N.’s special co-ordinator for the Middle East peace process, Nickolay Mladenov, said Abbas had repeated “some of the most contemptuous anti-Semitic slurs.”

“Leaders have an obligation to confront anti-Semitism everywhere and always, not perpetuate the conspiracy theories that fuel it,” he said in a statement Wednesday.

It is unacceptable & deeply disturbing that Abu Mazen has voiced some of the most contemptuous #antisemitic slurs. Leaders must confront #antisemitism, not perpetuate its conspiracy theories. Denying the Jewish connection to the land & its holy sites stands in contrast to reality
— Nickolay E. MLADENOV (@nmladenov) May 2, 2018

(Given the Muslim attitude towards Jews it is highly unlikely there will be peace any time soon in Middle East! And IF peace ever does come- it will be as a result of Muslim CHOICES! Muslims have made it clear they will not rest till Israel is destroyed! Jews cannot make peace with such an attitude!)

“Denying the historic and religious connection of the Jewish people to the land and their holy sites in Jerusalem stands in contrast to reality,” Mladenov said.

The U.S. ambassador to Israel, as well as Israel’s prime minister, lashed out at Abbas over his remarks.

“Abu Mazen has reached a new low,” Ambassador David Friedman tweeted early Wednesday, referring to Abbas by his nickname. “To all those who think Israel is the reason that we don’t have peace, think again.”

(Jews have proven they CAN make peace with any neighbour who truly wants it. One has only to look at the Jews jetting off to Egyptian resorts on the Red Sea for proof of normalized relations between the two countries!)

(But such business- meaning tourism from Israel to Egypt is seen by Palestinians as a shameful betrayal and sell out by Egyptians! The United States offers regular shipments of foreign aid to Egypt in exchange for remaining peaceful- and Palestinians consider that Egypt is prostituting itself to the hated Yankees for cash- AND betraying all of Islam as they do so!)

President Donald Trump’s special envoy for international negotiations Jason Greenblatt also responded to the remarks, calling them “very distressing and terribly disheartening.”

President Abbas’ remarks yesterday in Ramallah at the opening of the Palestinian National Congress must be unconditionally condemned by all. They are very unfortunate, very distressing & terribly disheartening. Peace cannot be built on this kind of foundation.
— Jason D. Greenblatt (@jdgreenblatt45) May 1, 2018

The rhetoric reflects the escalating tensions between the Palestinians and the Trump administration. Ties have been strained since Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital last year, prompting the Palestinians to suspend contacts with the administration. Friedman and Abbas have sparred before. In March, Abbas called Friedman a “son of a dog” in an angry rant. Friedman suggested the remark was anti-Semitic.

(Islam considers any opposition to their planned World Wide Caliphate complete with FORCED acceptance of Sharia Law, to be Blasphemy! Under Sharia Law, a blasphemy accusation is often punishable by DEATH! It is utterly irresponsible of Our idiot Boy Justin and his loser LIE-berals to be encouraging such hate filled bigots to immigrate to Canada!)

The Palestinian president again recited the most contemptible anti-Semitic canards. Apparently the Holocaust denier is still a Holocaust denier. I call on the international community to condemn his severe anti-Semitism; the time has come for it to pass from the world.
— Benjamin Netanyahu (@netanyahu) May 2, 2018

The European Union said in a statement that the Palestinian president’s speech “contained unacceptable remarks concerning the origins of the Holocaust and Israel’s legitimacy.” It warned that “such rhetoric will only play into the hands of those who do not want a two-state solution, which President Abbas has repeatedly advocated.”

(Oh- even the European appeasers recognize and condemn anti Jew bigotry!)

The speech Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas delivered on 30 April contained unacceptable remarks concerning the origins of the Holocaust and Israel's legitimacy. Such rhetoric will only play into the hands of those who do not want a two-state solution. https://t.co/mwo3xv4zfM
— Maja Kocijančič (@MajaEUspox) May 2, 2018

(Palestinians who want a state of their own are their own worst enemies! There will NEVER be a Palestinian state as long as Muslims are sworn to drive the Jews into the sea! A state has the right to buy heavy weapons and thus no person interested in seeing an honest peace in Middle East will accept a Palestinian state! The formula is simple- PEACE FIRST- and THEN a Palestinian state!)

The statement said that “anti-Semitism is not only a threat for Jews but a fundamental menace to our open and liberal societies.”

(Yes- liberal society is under GRAVE threat from Muslim terrorists who will continue to maim and kill until they get their own way in ALL THINGS!)

Abbas’ office declined to comment.

(No comment? No wonder- Muslim racists do not like to be called out!)

100M Gentiles killed in 2 fake World Wars so the Jewish Bankers could create their version of Israel.
WTF could top that kind of shit??
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_H._Freedman
Benjamin Harrison[1] Freedman (1890 – May 1984)[2] was an American businessman, Holocaust denier,[3][4][5] and vocal anti-Zionist.[6][7] Born in a Jewish family, he converted from Judaism to Roman Catholicism.[8] Outside of political activism, Freedman was a partner in a dermatological institute and investor for small businesses.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocaust_denial
Most Holocaust deniers claim, either explicitly or implicitly, that the Holocaust is a hoax—or at best an exaggeration—arising from a deliberate Jewish conspiracy designed to advance the interest of Jews at the expense of other people.[9] For this reason, Holocaust denial is generally considered to be an antisemitic[10] conspiracy theory.[11]

Organ trafficking, human sex trade, all part of the Jewish collectives molesting of Gentiles.

Was sentenced in 2012 to 2½ years in prison after pleading guilty to brokering three illegal kidney transplants for New Jersey-based customers.

Like Weintsein was the only Jewish sexual predator in Hollywierd this guy was probably just as rouge.

https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/jews-and-the-african-slave-trade/
he role some Jews played in the Atlantic slave trade, both as traders and as slave owners, has long been acknowledged by historians. But allegations in recent decades that Jews played a disproportionate role in the enslavement of African Americans — and that this fact has been covered up — have made the topic a controversial one.
  • Those who make this case include Louis Farrakhan, leader of the Nation of Islam, and David Duke, the former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard.
  • A search for “Jews” and “slave trade” on YouTube pulls up more than 50,000 videos, most posted by the Nation of Islam, Duke and their supporters.
  • Mainstream scholars for the most part do not accept their conclusions and see the charges as essentially anti-Semitic.
Did Jews really own slaves?

Yes. Jacob Rader Marcus, a historian and Reform rabbi, wrote in his four-volume history of Americans Jews that over 75 percent of Jewish families in Charleston, South Carolina; Richmond, Virginia; and Savannah, Georgia, owned slaves, and nearly 40 percent of Jewish households across the country did. The Jewish population in these cities was quite small, however, so the total number of slaves they owned represented just a small fraction of the total slave population; Eli Faber, a historian at New York City’s John Jay College reported that in 1790, Charleston’s Jews owned a total of 93 slaves, and that “perhaps six Jewish families” lived in Savannah in 1771.
A number of wealthy Jews were also involved in the slave trade in the Americas, some as shipowners who imported slaves and others as agents who resold them. In the United States, Isaac Da Costa of Charleston, David Franks of Philadelphia and Aaron Lopez of Newport, Rhode Island, are among the early American Jews who were prominent in the importation and sale of African slaves. In addition, some Jews were involved in the trade in various European Caribbean colonies. Alexandre Lindo, a French-born Jew who became a wealthy merchant in Jamaica in the late 18th century, was a major seller of slaves on the island.
Did Jews dominate the slave trade?


Not according to scholars that have closely examined the question. Several studies of the Jewish role in the slave trade were conducted in the 1990s. One of them, by John Jay’s Faber, compared available data on Jewish slave ownership and trading activity in British territories in the 18th century to that of the wider population. Faber concludes that the claim of Jewish domination is false and that the Jewish role in slavery was “exceedingly limited.” According to Faber, British Jews were always in the minority of investors in slaving operations and were not known to have been among the primary owners of slave fleets. Faber found that, with few exceptions, Jews were minor figures in brokering the sale of slaves upon their arrival in the Americas, and given the urban-dwelling propensity of most American Jews, few accumulated large rural properties and plantations where slave labor was most concentrated. According to Faber, Jews were more likely than non-Jews to own slaves, but on average they owned fewer of them.

Want to be that a deep look into those 'scholars' will show they were very close to Jews and their stations in life was with the help of a few well placed Jews

https://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/P...ack-market-antiquities-tax-fraud-sting-501156
Following a protracted international joint undercover investigation, police on Sunday arrested five east Jerusalem antiquities dealers accused of a $20 million tax-fraud and artifacts scheme reaching as far as America.

According to police, the investigation was launched several months ago with US law-enforcement agencies, the Antiquities Authority and Israel Tax Authority after evidence surfaced that the dealers were involved in illegal transactions for seven years.

https://slate.com/human-interest/20...dy-parts-uncover-more-complicated-issues.html
With the right ingredients of salaciousness and scandal, the news appeared to be straight out of a Hollywood screenplay: corrupt politicians, money laundering, people being arrested by the busload, raids on synagogues, an Apple Jacks cereal box stuffed with $97,000 in cash, and rabbis trafficking organs. Allegedly, one paid $10,000 to an impoverished Israeli for his or her kidney and tried to sell it for upward of $150,000 in the United States. The criminal complaint quotes the rabbi as saying he was in the organ business for a decade. (And in a you-can’t-make-this-stuff-up twist, it wasn’t even the day’s only story on Israelis trafficking human body parts.)
The rabbis’ organ trafficking was only one of their many indiscretions. In addition to being against the law, it raises a complex bioethical issue for Jews, one laced in a culture of moral imperatives. Is illegally buying an organ really wrong if it’s saving someone’s life? Is paying for altruism, by definition, counterintuitive? Jews have been battling this quandary for a long time, especially when you consider how little they themselves actually help the cause of transplantation.
“Jews don’t like to donate organs,” says Rabbi Michael J. Broyde, one of the founding members of the Beth Din of America, the equivalent of the Supreme Court of the Jewish justice system. “They don’t donate at the rate of other social groups.” This imbalance—of taking more from organ banks than they are putting in—has put Jews around the world at odds with transplant technology. Israel has suffered for years with an organ shortage, forcing its residents to engage in “transplant tourism” in places across Europe and, most notably, in China. According to statistics from Israel’s transplant authority and the United Network of Organ Sharing, the number of people who hold an organ donation card in Israel is at a paltry 8 percent. Most Western countries hover closer to 35 percent.
In an attempt to repair the disparity, Israel passed a law last year that made it easier to become an organ donor. But it took a while. Earlier versions of the bill failed because people feared it would lead to “rabbinical supervision” of the time of death: They thought doctors and rabbis might conspire to hasten a patient’s death if they knew they could harvest organs. An Israeli organization called Adi, formed by a family who lost their son while he was waiting for a kidney transplant, has worked tirelessly to try to promote awareness among the Israeli populace of the moral imperatives of being an organ donor. But for a religion that prides itself on being a “light unto the nations,” it’s an oddly uphill battle. Some in the ultra-Orthodox community oppose the Adi initiative so fiercely that they have actually created “life cards” that state explicitly that the cardholder does not want to donate organs under any circumstances.
There are a whole host of reasons why Israelis—and Jews in general—don’t wish to part with their anatomy even after they die. For some, it’s simply taboo, yet another guilt-laden stigma in an already guilt-laden religion. Others believe it is a biblical commandment to be buried whole without any missing organs.
Judaism is riddled with hundreds of laws that dictate our daily existence. Interestingly, the Torah itself rarely, if ever, connects a specific commandment to a specific reward; the logic being, if you knew the “value” of each commandment, it would be easy to pick and choose which ones to obey. Only twice in the entire Old Testament are rewards mentioned—by the commandment to shoo away the mother bird before taking her chicks (a mere flick of the wrist) and the commandment to honor your parents (an often lifelong difficult task). The Bible states that the reward for both those commandments is exactly the same: long life. In a sense, what Moses was teaching was that the value of the seemingly simplest commandment and of one of the hardest are actually in the same.

Last but not least, God's assessment of them.

Ro:11:26-28:
And so all Israel shall be saved:
as it is written,
There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer,
and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
For this is my covenant unto them,
when I shall take away their sins.
As concerning the gospel,
they are enemies for your sakes:
but as touching the election,
they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.
