1  Other / Politics & Society / Why is antisemetism acceptable on: April 25, 2013, 02:25:02 PM
It seems there is a lot of antisemitism on this forum and I'm curious as to why it's acceptable, whereas other forms of racism are not.
In order to give full disclosure, let me say that i am a secular Jew.
Let me be clear, i don't consider anti Israel or anti Zionist sentiments to be anti Semitic. I think Israel acts like a dick a lot of the time and i feel that the religious right in Israel has far too much powers. I have no problem with criticism of Israel or Zionism.

What i do resent is the idea that as a Jew I'm part of some grand conspiracy to run the world. I assure you I'm not. Just because you have a dislike of a Jew or some Jews, it's ridiculous to the whole race with the same label.
It'd be like arguing that all white people are racists, all black people are criminals and all Hispanics hopped the border into the US.

2  Other / Beginners & Help / $55 the next psychological barrier on: March 19, 2013, 01:28:37 PM
the last psychological barrier was $50. By that i mean that while people would happily spend $49.99 per bitcoin, the $50 mark would cause them to have second thoughts. Now that seems to have been shattered it seems as though the $55 mark is the next psychological barrier.

Opinions pls
