I got so involved in kosher food stories that I almost forgot why I opened this thread.

Oh well.  It was a stupid idea anyway.

The Christian church, in its attitude toward science, shows the mind of a more or less enlightened man of the Thirteenth Century. It no longer believes that the earth is flat, but it is still convinced that prayer can cure after medicine fails.

Yes.  I used to have lunch with a co-worker whose mother kept a kosher kitchen.  Many was the time we'd go into a diner and he'd order Fresh Ham.  Me, being a ball-buster of course, had to ask "what would mom say?"  He would always reply, as menacingly as a 5 foot, 5 inch bald little guy could manage, "she won't know if you don't tell her."

He was one of those cultural jews of which you speak.

I love bacon myself.  Pork is fine, if well cooked.  In ancient times most food was undercooked.  Trichinosis and other food poisoning.  Today it mostly seems to be listeria on romaine lettuce.  One outbreak of this a few years ago in California, was because they were using deer manure to fertilize the fields with, something both non-sterile and wild.

In the age of Trump it is hard for them to beat reality but hopefully they will keep trying.

I always wondered why there were pigs around for Jebus to drive the demons into. Were they just being raised to supply the Romans?

What's even better is Not The Onion - a site that has real news that should only be found in The Onion.

Yes.  And gentile colonists.  There was a legion stationed there (between Jerusalem and Caesarea).  In the story, where the pig miracle happens, on the E side of the Sea of Galilee, was mostly gentile, it really is a prediction of gentile annihilation.  And of course the demoniac ... was a Jewish description of gentiles in general.  Galilee means land of foreigners, aka Samaritans.  But under the Maccabees, Judeans had moved north to colonize it.

Yes, coming of age, Bar Mitzvah, has become baby sitting, ever since the girls got their own (20th century and only some do it) and named it a Bat Mitzvah.

You need contrarian thinking to get a clear picture apart from group think.  Even if the contrarian is Marxist.

All 7 billion people are entitled to move to England ;-)  That way the island will sink, like Atlantis.

I do wish the EU had been successful, in a democratic way.  But it is undemocratic, and a failure.  I don't think that GB ever had a place in the EU, otherwise you would have given up the Pound for the Euro.

The EU was created from USA envy.  But the similarity is asymmetrical.  The US became great because of massive European immigration here.  The EU can't become great thru massive African/Asian migration there.  Also the EU constitution sucks even worse than the US constitution.

Hope you didn't put all your money in German banks.  Looks like they are the new Enron.  I learned Russian in HS, it was't so bad.

Well, the only way to not be part of the Turkish Caliphate, is to be a Russian colony.  How about a Democratic Socialist Belgium?

Remember, I am not anti-anyone, except stupidity will earn its Darwin awards.  Certainly not anti-Russian or anti-Turkish.

It is possible that everything European is downhill from 1914, though I hope not.  Nietzsche and Marx may be the death of them.

In any case, time for the US to leave Nato.  We can't afford to subsidize European fantasies.

The Europeans do need to be under occupation of someone, if not the US, then Russia or Turkey will do fine.

North Sea petroleum is in decline.  Russia can supply now, Turkey ... maybe in the future after annexation of Cyprus and Greece.
