Illogical and irrational really!

Re: Jewish population on the increase
 

Could or would you share those reasons?:erm:

Re: Jewish population on the increase
 

and / or define the definition of 'Jewish people' - is it all followers of Judaism, or just those who live in Israel - the question of 'have you met them all' may gain more perspective from the answer ? :erm:

.......and what exactly is every post following TraxData's, if not "crying foul"?

If i recall correctly, TraxData has made similar bigoted comments about black people in the past, and the response was much the same as here. So why have you made such an unfounded and rather irrelevant comparison?

Stick to the topic please. We do not permit public debating of Team decisions.

Re: Jewish population on the increase
 

Isn't TraxData aloud his own opinion??

If he doesn't like Jewish people then surely that should be upto him? I admit that he should've kept it to himself but still he is entitled to his own views.

Personally I don’t mind Jewish people but I don’t like the sector of the faith that live near me because on the whole they are very ignorant and hostile towards none Jewish people but I still give them the benefit of the doubt ;)

Re: Jewish population on the increase
 

Yes. He's allowed his opinion. However, if many people are likely to disagree with his opinion and he posts it on a public forum, then he should expect people asking questions.

(Unless of course, his opinion is based on his religion, as apparently, all bets are then off, and he should be respected for his opinion, and it must not be ridiculed. That's for another thread though.)

On-topic though: Why are we discussing an increase in the Jewish population from .0046% to .0047% of the British population. Is it a bad thing? Or a significant thing even?

Re: Jewish population on the increase
 

so what if the jewish population are growing, what does it matter. The fact of the story is not what it appears...why in the first place focus on something that is natural ...oh the media again pushing everyones buttons...

Re: Jewish population on the increase
 

Hilarious comments by Trax??!! I cant believe anyone would post that...!? I wouldnt get in your shower without feeling a bit nervous!

Having seen 5 young jewish boys on a train recently I would suggest that a percentage of the population increase has been achieved between family members. They were an advert for 'why not to' marry cousins? Awful.

Re: Jewish population on the increase
 

Well notwithstanding the site's rules, I hope that anyone reading this thread will see how many people clearly do not share Trax's unfortunate views. Just like with sensationalist headlines, it's easy to accord extreme minority views more significance than they deserve.

Re: Jewish population on the increase
 

Seems to me to be more about the traditional Jews increasing the Jewish population rather than anything else, IIRC that was a stated aim of the Traditional Jews anyway.

Roses are reddish
Violets are blueish
If it wasn't for Jesus
We'd all be Jewish.

Seems like the Jews have always been society's whipping boys. I'm glad to see their population rising, although I didn't realise that the holocaust had made such a dent on their numbers (yes 6 million is a lot but in the grander scheme of things it's not what you'd call a massive figure).

Re: Jewish population on the increase
 

Er, yes I would, but then, you and I do have differing views on genocide don't we?
When you consider that at the beginning of the 20th century there were only between 6-11million Jews in the world, murdering 6 million was about half of them.

The BBC article is just an interesting (to some people I would imagine) factoid.
