Jewish Literacy as the Road to Riches: The Chosen Path of the 'Chosen Few'

Literacy rates among the Jews 2000 years ago were low, less than 10%. Many of the scribes were functionally illiterate and copied without understanding.

The Jews think they are important because they believe God told them they were. Every religion shares the same thought.

3000 or so years ago, The Lord told them to leave Egypt, and go into the "Promised Land", and in laymans terms, take it over.

We even sing catchy little songs about it, "Joshua fit the battle of Jerhico". Well, read in the Bible about that little episode.

I always wondered what the people who were already there, such as the good citizens of Jerhico, thought of that, since the Jews were ordered by their "god" to kill every last living thing.

Today we call that genocide.

Men have been conquering and murdering in the name of religion ever since time began. The Jews, Muslims, Christians, or any other attempt to creat God in your own image, has no monopoly on that.

fuck you, narcissist.

GO AWAY! You bring nothing relevant to this conversation.

Please, continue to shame me and the other Jewish members of ECCIE. Originally Posted by Yssup Rider

So many today ignore the influence Protestantism had on literacy. Protestantism's requirement that all believers be able to read and interpret the Bible for themselves -- with no priests acting as intermediaries -- is what gave rise to greater literacy in England, Germany and the Netherlands, and then, of course, in their (English and Dutch) respect New World colonies.

JL, are you suggesting that Asian people are Jewish?

If Timmie can bring up the point of Jewishness everytime then I can introduce the asian question.

A history of education is very important to the success of a family line. So is the concept of work, any work. Too many kids today think that if they go to college and get decent grades in a field that is respected (law, medicine, engineering, etc.) that they guaranteed success and are 90% there. Tell that to an athlete student (FYI, I am not a huge fan of college athletics). They may have the skills but they had better work their ass off to get to the top. Too bad that so many think that athletics and demigod status are all there is.

Well, I definitely respect the Asians and all their hard work, but they certainly aren't creative enough to hang with my people, who regularly win at least a third of all Nobel Prizes in science, medicine, etc. (while only representing less than 1% of the world population), for advancing the science, not making a slightly better copy. (But, fuck, Lexus is a dependable car!)
I don't think too much of college athletics, either, but my people aren't as dominant there, lol!
Hard work is a huge part of success, anyone who doesn't work at least 60 hours per week in their field doesn't qualify.

Great stereotype Muskogee.

I bet the fucking math club was lights out.

what a worthless moron you are!

BTW guys, I think JL is neither Jewish nor a lawyer. He's Marshall.

I do not share his homophobia, xenophobia and racism. Most Jewish people I know do not.

He's an embarrassment and, like Ive said, a 100% fraud.

what a worthless moron you are!

Cuba spends more than 3 times of it's GDP on education. Do you think Cubans in general are better educated that the US? The Netherlands spends a little less than the US and their education is excellent.

Japanese spend about 1/2 as per per child than the US. Yet their education is superior.

Your general point is a great one, though, except for the one nasty little fact that no one in the debate ever wants to face: the homework you are talking about would need to be assigned by someone who held a real degree (instead of majoring in Education), and who didn't spend most of the class time bitching about how little money he/she was making at his/her nine month a year, six hour a day job. I always look forward to news that our wonderful educators in this country have taken to the picket lines: can't wait to read all of the signs on which the word "unfair" is misspelled.

If I'm not Jewish, explain how it is I give more a year to the Holocaust museums around the country than you even make in a year!
You are the most hated member of this board, Dipshit!!
