<<There is Sundance, by Redford, Miramax (which may not be Hollywood,
I'm
not sure) and probably a few others, some which may no longer exist,
or
were absorbed by the larger studios.The real early films were not
distributed by the major distributors as we know them today. Also
there are many other distributors worldwide. So it is not true that
EVERY MOVIE can first be traced back to Jewish people. Again, you're
woefully exaggerating.Finally, a director can get a lot of money, but
that doesn't necessarily mean his films are any good. I like
Spielberg's movies, but they are not as great as some of Kubrick's
films. And some of them are not even all that good. And, as I said
before, if I were to judge the major studios based on their product,
most of it is garbage.
Marcello>>

Marcello, let's try it one last time: What part of "European Jews are
the founding fathers of all the original, major Hollywood studios" did
you not understand? Secondly, STANLEY KUBRICK was Jewish, as is HARVEY
& BOB WEINSTEIN of MIRAMAX! DOH! Furthermore, I said "EVERY MOVIE
FIRST," not "EVERY MOVIE."
Learn how to read!! e.g. The first sex symbol in movie history was
Jewish (THEDA BARA, b. GOODMAN), the first theatre to be used solely
for the showing of motion pictures was built by a Jew (ADOLF ZUKOR),
the star of the first "talkie," AL JOLSON (b. YOELSON) was Jewish, the
first full-length sound picture, "The Jazz Singer" was produced by
Jews (SAMUEL L. GOLDWYN (b. Goldfish) & LOUIS B. MAYER (MGM), the
first female President of a major Hollywood studio (Paramount) was
Jewish (SHERRY LANSING), the idea to award an actor with an Academy
Award (Oscar) was devised by Jewish LOUIS B. MAYER (MGM), and the
first full-length feature film, "The Squaw Man," (1914) was directed
by a Jew (CECIL B. DEMILLE), etc, etc. Marcello, to save yourself any
further embarrassment (since you obviously have no clue to anything
Jewish), why not better acquaint yourself with the beauty & brilliance
of my people? As it stands, almost all of your responses are laced
with anti-Semitic overtones (see "most of Hollywood is garbage"),
excuses, psychobabble & envy. FYI: not every movie can be "THE
GODFATHER" or "ANNIE HALL." How does this have any bearing on those
European Jews who had the foresight to create what billions now enjoy?
Marcello, if you hate movies so much, why are you still accessing this

DOH! Remember, movies have shaped American & world culture more than
any other medium. Movies give us many of our heroes. Movies that help
identify our values. They help define for us love and life, the "good
guys" and the "bad guys." They teach us to laugh and to cry. And most
important of all, they imbue us with our dreams. Hollywood movies,
probably more than anything else, created the American dream and then
exported it around the world. And wonders to wonders, the founding
fathers of cinema and many of the most important movers and shakers of
this industry were none other than the descendants of Abraham. Progeny
of the very people who in ancient days sought to influence the world
by using holy wood to build a temple, would now create Hollywood to
build an industry that would attract devout worshipers and insatiable
devotees. The story of the birth of the movies is so fascinating, it
ought to be made into a movie. All this in spite of a religion that
comprises a mere 1/4 of 1% (13 million) of the world's population (6
billion).

The Squaw Man was not the first feature length film -- there are
Italian features that predate it.

All of these things are true, of course, but this girl was more Jewish than
most of the natural-born Jews I know. She *really* wanted to be orthodox,
live in Israel, and to have orthodox children.

Mason,

You should have told people what the wonderful Lincoln quote is about!

The story is that some acquaintance of Honest Abe foisted a book he had
authored upon the President and asked for him to recommend it. Lincoln, true
to his moniker, couldn't lie and say that the book was good, so that quote's
what he gave as his appraisal of the book. Just like "Dubya" would have
done, right? (Hey - don't blame me - I didn't vote for ...

But none of this backs up your point. Movies were begun in the 1880s-
1890s, and the idea of movies has been around since the 17th century
'carousel' (not actually called carousel, I can't remember the name now,
but it's the device that let you see 'moving' pictures while it spins).

Hollywood movies do NOT shape WORLD culture; they barely shape national
culture. Until you've travelled and seen the world, there is no way you
can understand what this means. Movies are mostly entertainment, period.
National cultural is shaped by many other far more substantial things,
like economics, politics, population make up, traditions, history,
technology, diet, climate, quality of life, language, etc.....

We've gone over this discourse before. To argue ANY sort of supremacy of
Jewish people (or any other people) based on genetics or otherwise, is 1)
factually unprovable and 2) extremely immoral, since it can easily lead
to such nice things as a Holocaust.

It's surprising for someone who professes to be Jewish to be making such
an unfounded and ridiculous argument.

Marcello, when "the most important movie firsts" can be traced back
to the very people who created Hollywood (key word), I think it's fair
to assume
that Jews have "the movie first market" cornered! LOL! DOH! Marcello,
if we really wanted to be technical, yes, every movie in Hollywood
(key word)
can be traced back to the Jews. Remember, Jews created Hollywood and
continue to run every facet of its being. There isn't one film in
existence where Jews have not been vital (in whatever capacity) to the
overall success of a motion picture. In the end, Hollywood (most
powerful medium in the world) is where it counts! Marcello, do you
think it's just a coincidence that DREAMWORKS happens to be run by
four sweet Jews? They being: SPIELBERG, KATZENBERG, EISNER & GEFFEN.
Do you think it's just a coincidence that sweet Jewish MICHAEL EISNER
also heads DISNEY!? Do you think it's just a coincidence that sweet
Jewish GERALD LEVIN heads TIME/WARNER!? DISNEY & TIME/WARNER alone are
two of the largest media conglomerates in the world!! As fellow
brethren BEN STEIN (Emmy winning host of "Win Ben Stein's Money,"
attorney, actor, former Nixon speech writer) once wrote, "Do Jews run
Hollywood? You bet they do, and what of it?" Marcello, what of
it!?eheheheh In the end, the only thing ridiculous is for you to
continue to deny the obvious. -D, NYC "In 1933, a researcher
discovered consistent Jewish overrepresentation in the classical music
world, including "51% of the first violins of twelve orchestras,"
23.8% of the works "performed by symphony orchestras," and so forth.
Why was this so? Comparing Jewish and non-Jewish children, Kenneth
Sward found no intelligence differences, but speculated that "the
Jewish child may be a superior all-around
organism by 'nature.'" [WEYL, N., 1968, p. 188]>

Well, the thing is, there are several definition os "being Jewish."

Let's say they are (A), (B), and (C).

Say Jim satisfies (A) and (B), Jane satisfies (A), and Jon satisfies
(A) and (C).

Then Jane is "less Jewish" than both Jim and Jon, in the boolean sense.

Hope that helps :-)

By that, I mean more observant and more genuinely religious. I have observed
wide gradations in "Jewishness". All Jews are Jews, but some are secular and
some are religious, or any of the shades of gray between.

I don't consider myself a very "Jewish" Jew. I like bacon cheeseburgers, and
I've only been to services once or twice in the last 15 years or so. I can't
even recite Kaddish anymore without tripping over the words, although I can
read Hebrew (and Aramaic) very slowly (but only if it's pointed).

To be honest, I'm not terribly happy with this thread to begin with. Ethnic
generalizations are a dangerous thing, to say the least - even if they are

seventy years ago some guy with a mustache came up with this idea that

Who is a comedian!? Listen to Jackie Mason: "A normal person wouldn't
become a
comedian. The egomania, the neurosis, the need to overcompensate, the
feeling
that life is meaningless without stardom - it's too much suffering."
So who becomes a comedian? Groucho Marx, George Burns (Birnbaum),
Jack Benny
(Kubelsky), Milton Berle (Berlinger), Lenny Bruce (Schneider), Jerry
Seinfeld,
Howard Stern, Woody Allen (Konigsberg), The 3 Stooges, Rodney
Dangerfield
(Cohen), Mel Brooks (Kaminsky), the list goes on and on. There must be
a reason
here as well to explain not only why there are so many Jewish
comedians today,
but also why Jews throughout the ages have been known for their humor.
Maybe Mel Brooks understood it best: "I may be angry at God or at the
world,
and I'm sure that a lot of my comedy is based on anger and
hostility...It comes
from a feeling that as a Jew and as a person, I don't fit into the
mainstream
of American society." Feeling different, feeling alienated, feeling
persecuted,
feeling that the only way you can deal with the world is to laugh -
because if
you don't laugh you're going to cry and never stop crying - that's
probably
what's responsible for the Jews having developed such a great sense of
humor.
The people who had the greatest reason to weep, learned more than
anyone else
how to laugh. -D, NYC "On recent College Boards, Jews averaged 1161.

Jerry Lewis is, and always has been, one of the most annoying personalities in show business.

endeavor, and you will find that Jews have disproportionately excelled
in it. Since I am not about to list thousands of upon thousands of

will still obtain the same result: watching you get all bent out of
shape!hehe Now let's begin: Of the 660 Nobel prizes from 1901-1990,
160 have been won by Jews. That number translates into winning 40x
more than should be expected of them, simply based upon their small
population numbers. In the end, Jews win more Nobel prizes in medicine
& science (hey, look at that! two other areas of synonymity besides
Hollywood! eheh DOH!) than any other ethnicity. EINSTEIN (still the
greatest mind of the 20th century), first American scientist ever
awarded the Nobel prize was a JEW -ALBERT ABRAHAM MICHAELSON (see,
besides Hollywood, Jews cornerned the market on "Nobel firsts" as
well!eheh), DR. SALK & DR. SABIN (POLIO VACCINES, one of the most
important medical findings of the 20th century), DR. PAUL "MAGIC
BULLET" EHRLICH (syphilis cure, eventually gave way to modern
chemotherapy), DR. HEINRICH HERTZ (unit of measurement bears his name,
was the first to produce electromagnetic waves artificially,
eventually gave way to radar, t.v. and radio), CHAIM WEIZMANN
(English-Jew) was a brilliant chemist. In 1915, England faced a
critical shortage of acetone for explosives, and Weizmann figured out
a way to produce it synthetically from ordinary chestnuts, which were
plentiful in England. In gratitude, the English government wanted to
make Weizmann a knight. EMILE BERLINER (gramophone, invention gave way
to the modern record industry), DR. ABRAHAM JACOBI (father of
pediatrics), DR. RUTH WESTHEIMER (world's most famous sexologist),
HARRY HOUDINI (b. Erich Weiss, world's most famous magician &
illusionist. Is this yet another coincidence?!eh), ALLEN GREENSPAN
(federal reserve chairman, one of the most powerful men in the world),
HENRY KISSINGER (1975 Nobel peace prize, this legendary former
secretary of state to Nixon was the second Jew and the first
non-American born, ever to hold a US Cabinet post. Another "first"
coincidence!? LOL! DOH), DR. FREUD (revolutionalized psychiatry),
FRANZ KAFKA (one of the most influential authors of the 20th century),
ARTHUR MILLER (great 20th century playwright great), MARC CHAGALL (b.
Segal, great 20th century artist great), PETER MAX (pop art great), AL
HIRSCHFELD (caricature great), MIKE WALLACE (broadcasting legend),
LARRY KING (b. Zeiger, broadcasting legend), BARBARA WALTERS
(broadcasting legend, first female anchor on primetime t.v., the
"firsts" just keep on coming, eh?!ehe), GEORGE GERSHWIN (one of the
most prolific composers of the 20th century), ISAAC STERN (world's

KOUFAX & HAMMERING HANK GREENBERG - Baseball HALL OF FAMERS, two of

swimmer of all time), LEVI "Levi's" STRAUSS (inventor of jeans,
largest clothing retailer in the world), RALPH LAUREN, CALVIN KLEIN,
DONNA KARAN (3 of the largest fashion mavens in the world). Former
President Bill Clinton's cabinet and whitehouse staff comprised 50% of
Jews, HARVARD'S faculty & student body is comprised of 40% Jews. On


recent College Boards, Jews averaged 1161. Unitarians did somewhat
better (1209), but the national average was 1020. At the elite Ivy
League schools, Jews make up 23 percent of the student body, yet they

comprise a measly 2 percent of the U.S. ABRAHAM is the father of the
world's 3 major religions: Judaism, Christianity & Islam (ancestors of
the Hebrew & Arabic peoples). Jesus is still worshipped by billions.
HAYAM SOLOMON & ISAAC MOSES (respondible for creating the first modern
banking institutions in America), English-Jewish financiers are
responsible for turning England into an empire. Without the fortunes
of ISAAC GOLDSMID, NATHAN ROTHSCHILD, DAVID SALOMONS, and MOSES
MONTEFIORE, England wouldn't have a pot to piss in. The first 19th
century department stores (GIMBELS, ABRHAM & STRAUSS(ES) (now Macy's -
largest department store in the world), Mays, Altmans, Kaufmann, etc)
were all founded by JEWS. WILLIAM KUNSTLER, RAOUL FELDER, GLORIA
ALLRED, ROBERT SHAPIRO, BARRY SCHECK, ALLEN DERSHOWITZ (regarded as
one of the great law professors of the 20th century), GEOFRREY FEIGER.
All of whom happen to be the most "high profile" attorneys of the 20th
century. In 1909, four Jews were among the 60 multi-cultural signers
of the call to The National Action, which resulted in the creation of
the NAACP. Jews later went on to create the ANTI-DEFAMATION LEAGUE and
ACLU.
Remember, to say that Jews are better than anyone else is to be guilty
of a politically incorrect kind of chauvinism. But one thing is
certain: Jews are one of the most successful and brilliant peoples on
the planet. There simply is no way to deny it! All in spite of the
overwhelming odds against them: thousands of years of persecution, The
Holocaust and comprising but 1% of the world's population. Mark Twain
(righteous Gentile) said it best:
" ..."If the statistics are right, the Jews constitute but one quarter
of one
percent of the human race. It suggests a nebulous dim puff of stardust
lost in
the blaze of the Milky Way. Properly, the Jew ought hardly to be heard
of; but
he is heard of, has always been heard of. He is as prominent on the
planet as
any other people, and his importance is extravagantly out of
proportion to the
smallness of his bulk. His contributions to the world's list of great
names in literature, science, art, music, finance, medicine and
abstruse learning are very out of proportion to the weakness of his
numbers. He has made a marvelous fight in this world in all ages; and
has done it with his hands tied behind him. He could be vain of
himself and be excused for it. The Egyptians, the Babylonians and the
Persians rose, filled the planet with sound and splendour; then faded
to dream-stuff and passed away: the Greeks and the Romans followed and
made a vast noise, and they are gone; other peoples have sprung up and
held their torch high for a time but it burned out, and they sit in
twilight now, or have vanished. The Jew saw them all, survived them
all, and is now what he always was, exhibiting no decadence, no
infirmities of age, no weakening of his parts, no slowing of his
energies, no dulling of his alert and aggressive mind. All things are
mortal but the Jew; all other forces pass, but he remains. What is the
secret of his immortality?" Excerpt from September 1898 issue of
Harper's New Monthly Magazine

I wish. Are you among the millions of ignorami (many of whom include

Darrin,

Your "Peter, your jealous Gentile propaganda is rearing its ugly little
foreskinned head again" is filthy and grotesque. You owe an apology to Peter
and to this entire group.

Peter, over 60% of American newborns (regardless of ethnicity) are
circumcised each and every year! I am one of the first to come to the
defense of circumcision as a simple, safe & beneficial procedure. FYI:
circumcision is the safest & most common surgical procedure in all of
medicine, occurring more commonly than tooth extraction. I used the
"foreskinned Gentile" line because it sounded good!eeeheheeee However,
from your tone, I assumed you were European! eheh As you know, the
overwhelming majority of uncircumcised today are European Gentiles.

Meron, once again, we are back to confusing "tasteless and in jest
remarks" with "outright racism." Peter knows that my comments are not
malicious. At the same time, Peter does seem to be somewhat testy when
it comes to anything Jewish. He once called me a "self-hating Jew" &
claimed that "very, very few Americans have ever heard of Yiddish,"
until I cited examples (millions of Howard Stern listeners) that
proved otherwise.

He's not malicious; he's stupid, and promoting anti-Jewish sentiment

He's either illiterate or a liar, since I said few Americans have ever
heard Yiddish.

"To hear" and "to hear of" are not the same thing.

Peter, you obtained this misinformation from where!? DOH! Foreskin is
a cesspool for disease. A useless fold of skin that acts as a harbor
for every imaginable pathogen. There's a good reason why smegma,
balanitis and penile cancer (directly attributed to SMEGMA - shedding
of dead oily skin cells that become trapped within the foreskin folds)
are all practically unheard of in circumcised men. Uncircumcised men
are also at a higher risk for STDs. Foreskin is an open door for HIV.
During sex, the foreskin is pulled back down the shaft of the penis
and provides a large area of exposure to HIV from an
infected partner. The foreskin is also rich in a type of cell that
carries HIV directly to the T cells, the cells in which the virus
replicates itself. While circumcision alone will never prevent you
from acquiring HIV, it has been known to greatly reduce your odds of
being infected. In the end, circumcision is analogous to immunization,
in that side effects and complications are immediate and usually
minor, but benefits accrue for a lifetime. It's this simple: If
foreskin is so vital, why is it the only outer appendage that
consistently requires medical intervention? Can you name me any other
appendage that has to be manually retracted in order to properly
function? Foreskin is one of God's anatomical goofs!! It serves no
useful purpose (e.g. appendix, hymen, post umbilical cord & wisdom
teeth), other than to cause a lifetime of unwanted hassle and upkeep.
Not to mention that foreskin is foogly!eh It looks like a rodent
trapped inside of a garden hose!ehee It's an abomination on the
senses. continued...

DINK, as it stands, you have yet to be right!!eheh Once again, the
overwhelming majority of uncircumcised (key word) today are Europeans.
Why!? "There are many reasons for the general absence of circumcision
in Europe. Probably the
most important one is ignorance: most Europeans are not aware of the
fact that
circumcision is not only a religious rite, but is also performed for
health and
cultural reasons. The ignorance about circumcision is furthermore
enforced by
existing taboos, many of which are related to its religious
connotations. In
many European societies there is still a lingering, and often strong,
Anti-Semitic sentiment. Since being circumcised is perceived by most
Europeans
to be a sign of being Jewish (or Muslim), many parents will be
hesitant to
circumcise their sons for fear that they might be taunted or harassed
(or
worse). There are unfortunately enough harrowing cases in the news
about
skinheads attacking people as well as property that they regard as
being Jewish
to support this fear. However, there are signs that attitudes are
starting to
change. After the Second World War, and especially since the sixties,
there has
been a large influx of Muslim immigrants to Europe (people from India
and
Pakistan to Great Britian, North Africans to France, and Turks to
Germany).
Since these immigrants are mostly Muslim, and nowadays form a sizable
portion
of the population of the countries they live in, the subject of
circumcision
has become more broadly known through reports in the media. This, in
turn, has
laid the foundation for a more open discussion of the subject. As a
result,
many people have become interested in the subject, and circumcision
rates
amongst Europeans are starting to increase."

Who is only slightly (call it a picometer) less annoying than
Bernhard. Sorry, I don't think Bernhard is capable of good work, but
if you actually watch "Rosanne", we obviously have different tastes.

Jerry Lewis, OTOH, has done some excellent work. See "Funny Bones",
for example, or his work on the TV show, "Wise Guy"; both serious
roles.

Hey. Chauvinistic self-hating-Jew idiot.

The only significant communities of circumcisers in the world today are
Muslims and Americans. That leaves several billion Chinese and Hindus
(which right there enormously outnumber "Europeans") as only the largest
communities of non-circumcisers.

So ... now you're bragging on three of the four candidates for "more
annoying than Jerry Lewis"? How does that redound to the benefit of the
Jews?

And Carrot Top certainly isn't the Scott Thompson who was the openly gay
member of Kids in the Hall; since the name was already in use by a
professional actor, he(?) had to come up with a pseudonym. He(?) chose a
particularly annoying one.

Now, get in another major war, and we will be at your side,

Sorry Darrin,

Recent research has shown that circumcision is of no benefit. In fact, the
research on which this fallacy (or should I say "phallusy" - am I on a role
or what?) lies is a shameful example of incompetent science.

The original research is from the middle of the previous century in the US.
They tested the rate of cervical cancer in Jewish women and compared it to
gentile women with non-circumcised husbands. Well, the Jewish rate was
lower. Now, what was their mistake? The control group should have been
Jewish women married to men who were not circumcised, but intermarriage was
rare then. It turns out that when they re-did the research correctly, the
Jewish women had the same incidence of cervical cancer with non-circumcised
partners.

Of course, you're probably now going to claim that the fact that Jewish
women have a lower rate of cervical cancer proves they're superior - I
should have known...

Sorry Meron, but current medical research from this century (not from
the previous mid century! DOH!) finds that circumcision greatly
reduces the risk of cervical cancer and genital warts in the partners
of circumcised men. Read it and weep:

"Women who have sex with a circumcised man have lower rates of
cervical cancer, scientists have found. They also suggest men
themselves are less likely to develop genital warts.

In a study in the New England Journal of Medicine, they suggest the
health benefits could be because circumcised men are less likely to
pick up the human papillomavirus (HPV).

They suggest the virus is responsible for up to 99% of cases of
cervical cancer.

Commentators suggest that a general adoption of circumcision could cut
cervical cancer rates by 20%.

The general adoption of circumcision might lead to a further reduction
in the incidence of cancer of the cervix of 23% to 43%

Drs Adami and Trichopoulos
They add the risk of penile cancer, HIV and other infections could
also be reduced.

Regular condom use and proper hygiene were also ways infection risks
could be reduced, they said.

An HPV vaccine is also now being tested.

Previous research has also found uncircumcised men are at a much
greater risk of becoming infected with HIV from heterosexual sex than
circumcised men.

Cervical cancer killed around 1,250 UK women in 2000.

'Plausible explanation'

The researchers, led by Dr Xavier Castellsague of Llobregat Hospital
in Barcelona looked at data from seven studies from five countries
across the world.

They found HPV in nearly 20% of uncircumcised men, but in fewer than
6% of all circumcised men.

The researchers estimate that a woman's chance of developing cervical
cancer was at least 58% lower if their current partner was
circumcised, even if the partner had a history of multiple partners.

Writing in an editorial in the journal, Dr Hans-Olov Adami of the
Karolinska Institute in Stockholm and Dr Dimitrios Trichopoulos of the
Harvard School of Public Health said the idea "that circumcision may
reduce the risk of cervical cancer in the female partner has long been
suspected".

They said the new study "provides a biologically plausible
explanation."

They added: "If we assume that 25% of the men around the world are
circumcised, then the general adoption of circumcision might lead to a
further reduction in the incidence of cancer of the cervix of 23% to
43%".

But they admitted that advocating circumcision as a realistic and
significantly important addition to other strategies to combat
cervical cancer "remains to be documented".

But Cancer Research UK advises it had been thought women whose
partners were circumcised were less likely to get cervical cancer
because the secretions of the foreskin covering the penis in
uncircumcised men may be irritant to the cervix and so possibly a
factor in cervical cancer.

But it adds many now thought that as long as uncircumcised men are
careful about keeping their genitals clean, the risk of cervical
cancer in their partners should not be any greater than that for
circumcised men.

Cancer Research UK adds: "It is likely that this association has risen
because certain religious groups who practice circumcision, such as
the Jews, also have a low risk of cervical cancer due to low levels of
promiscuity."

Funny Bones is one of my favorite movies. The premise is that Oliver
Platt is the son of a comedian (Lewis). Platt's character bombs in his
debut on stage in Vegas, and goes back to Brighton, England to figure
out "what's funny". It has some of the most outrageously funny bits
I've ever seen on film, and some pretty horrific stuff, too. It looks
at what humor really is and how, so often, we find humor in tragedy.

Fortunately, I suppose, I've never heard of any of those except possibly
Tommy Steele -- was he in *Mary Poppins* or *Oliver* or some such,
nearly 40 years ago?

Peter, when you have foreskin that continually traps smegma, washing
proves futile. Soap (irritant) can actually exacerbate the existing
infection. You can wash your smelly little PUTZ like an incessant
marsupial in the wild, and it shall never prevent the accumulation of
dead oily skin cells (amongst other lovely pathogens) that become
trapped within the foreskin folds. e.g. Phimosis (inability to retract
foreskin) affects 2-10% of uncircumcised infants & adult
males. The narrow foreskin opening causes urinary obstruction that can
be partial or complete. Backward pressure to the kidney may impede its
function and lead to high blood pressure, which is associated with
increased risk of heart attack and stroke. What sane person wants to
even chance this!?Circumcised men do not have to worry about Phimosis,
because there is no prepuce (aka a useless flap of skin). Once again,
can you name me any other outer appendage on the human anatomy that
has to be manually retracted in order to function properly!? DOH!
Peter, it's not brain surgery. Remove foreskin, and you have removed
the harbor for foreskin-related infections. Remember, the proponents
(mostly comprised of raving anti-circers) of not circumcising
nevertheless stress that lifelong penile hygiene is required. This
acknowledges that something harmful or unpleasant is happening under
the prepuce. Studies of middle class British and Scandanavian
schoolboys concluded that penile hygiene, as such, is at best poor and
at worst non-existent. Furthermore, Dr Terry Russell, an Australian
medical practitioner states 'What man after a night of passion is
going to perform penile hygiene before rolling over and snoring the
night away (with pathogenic organisms multiplying in the warm moist
environment under the prepuce)'. The bacteria start multiplying again
immediately after washing and contribute, along with skin secretions,
to the whitish film, termed 'smegma' (cancerogenic), that is found
under the foreskin. Bacteria give off an offensive odour. Men differ
in their sensitivity to this smell and some shower several times a day
as a result. Some uncircumcised men, and/or their partners, find the
stench so unpleasant that this smell has caused these men to seek a
circumcision on this basis alone. For mothers and fathers, it is far
easier to maintain cleanliness of their son's penis if it is
circumcised.

Dear RATM Members,


Darrin may be an anti-Semite agent provocateur. He may be a real Jew with a
warped sense of self-identity and no sense at all of the dangers of ethnic
generalizations. I don't think it really matters either way.

I am proud that this group uniformly condemned both his message and his
style.

As we all know, Andy Warhol once commented that everyone has his 15 minutes
of fame. I believe Darrin has been given that, and much more - _far_ too
much more. And as much as it is his fault, it is even more _our_ fault. As
my late grandmother often said: "The fact that a jackass brays doesn't mean
that you have to listen." And I would add to that that you certainly don't
have to answer!

I think enough is enough. The Book of Proverbs states: "Do not answer a fool
lest you seem his equal". I do not intend to be considered Darrin's equal,
and therefore shall cease to respond to him.

I would humbly suggest that others in RATM follow suit.

What are your requirements for idiocy? You teach me? Possible. Not
likely. Sure sign of an idiot is someone who thinks they have
something to teach people who do not agree with them. You don't seem
dumb. But you don't agree with me. That's fine. Be a man...(or a
