Are Jews Smarter Than Me?

[justoleme]

Yes.I noticed they were different just now. Jews never forget history,I guess it is a mid east thing because their adversaries also continue to talk back thousands of years. I do believe the Jews were untrusted by the people in the countries they lived in and there were a lot of conflicts,The Jews were always outnumbered and suffered a lot of defeat. They did not conform to the countries they lived in and it caused a lot of conflict. But I would not convert a Jew if I had all the power in the world. If we were all the same we would still find reasons to kill each other.

Trust me. We would. It is in our destructive nature.

The Scorpion and the Frog
One day, a scorpion looked around at the mountain where he lived and decided that he wanted a change. So he set out on a journey through the forests and hills. He climbed over rocks and under vines and kept going until he reached a river.
The river was wide and swift, and the scorpion stopped to reconsider the situation. He couldn't see any way across. So he ran upriver and then checked downriver, all the while thinking that he might have to turn back.

Suddenly, he saw a frog sitting in the rushes by the bank of the stream on the other side of the river. He decided to ask the frog for help getting across the stream.

"Hellooo Mr. Frog!" called the scorpion across the water, "Would you be so kind as to give me a ride on your back across the river?"

"Well now, Mr. Scorpion! How do I know that if I try to help you, you wont try to kill me?" asked the frog hesitantly.

"Because," the scorpion replied, "If I try to kill you, then I would die too, for you see I cannot swim!"

Now this seemed to make sense to the frog. But he asked. "What about when I get close to the bank? You could still try to kill me and get back to the shore!"

"This is true," agreed the scorpion, "But then I wouldn't be able to get to the other side of the river!"

"Alright then...how do I know you wont just wait till we get to the other side and THEN kill me?" said the frog.

"Ahh...," crooned the scorpion, "Because you see, once you've taken me to the other side of this river, I will be so grateful for your help, that it would hardly be fair to reward you with death, now would it?!"

So the frog agreed to take the scorpion across the river. He swam over to the bank and settled himself near the mud to pick up his passenger. The scorpion crawled onto the frog's back, his sharp claws prickling into the frog's soft hide, and the frog slid into the river. The muddy water swirled around them, but the frog stayed near the surface so the scorpion would not drown. He kicked strongly through the first half of the stream, his flippers paddling wildly against the current.

Halfway across the river, the frog suddenly felt a sharp sting in his back and, out of the corner of his eye, saw the scorpion remove his stinger from the frog's back. A deadening numbness began to creep into his limbs.

"You fool!" croaked the frog, "Now we shall both die! Why on earth did you do that?"

The scorpion shrugged, and did a little jig on the drownings frog's back.

"I could not help myself. It is my nature."

Then they both sank into the muddy waters of the swiftly flowing river.

Self destruction - "Its my Nature", said the Scorpion...

Yes,There is so much truth in that story. It is written in a book I read on the nature of the human. I just can't guess who you are for sure. My wireless signal may fade. I may be gone. I read the favorite R.Com post. I just can't figure you out yet. It was good days back then,The war in Iraq came. We all scattered. My younger kin went and served and are yet alive. But if it would have been those wars then it would have been something else.Some people I argued with I admired a lot. I miss those days when we were all good pals. (KINDA)

[Whoami]

Justo where do live now?

[Whoami]

I miss those days too. When I was originally around we fought and made up and still were friends with each other. Then some trolls showed up and ruined it all.

[justoleme]

I am back near Houston again,I guess I was in Louisianna at some time in the good days of the Russian board.Some I had a clash or two with are people that I liked OK. We just did not agree on something so I would use any weapon I could find,Even Bunky the Sweed I liked just fine. Bill Ungaro and I fight a lot but I like him inspite of it all.

[Whoami]

Good ole Bill. We also clashed in the past. I wish I didn't delete all the email addy's I had. What I believe we'll see is new blood on these boards. Old Reb should be here. He was opinionated and funny. I wonder if he is still with his woman. She was a nice graceful lady - good looking too.
