A serious question from a "simple Goyim"

You got the "simple" part right, but that's all.
Good luck.

I dont think Mozart was jewi$h, but some famous people dont make up a
culture. And i dont see why all the hate directed to me, why not answer the
question and tell Me a little about jewi$h culture? what is typicle jew and
what should the world know you for!?
How about
El Hambra

world study it
I have never seen anything equivalent built by Jews. BTW, have you ever seen
a Jewish bricklayer?

Of course you don't.
It's the reason you're a lying bigot in the first place: you're stupid.

Hello little jew, I think it is amuzing that when I ask a SSerious and
relevant question to your people, if you are even a real people, that
there is only cynical answers hiding the truth. What can be more
relevant then asking what culture jew$ have on a group called
soc.culture.jewish ? Apperantly the truth is that this entire group is
based on something that does not even exist, everyone knows that the jew
does not create culture or have it, instead they destroy other peoples
cultures.
Please dont be ashamed to admit this truth, the eternal jew is a
internationalist, like a little parasite he adopts himself to western
cultures, making everyone think he is a normal western human, when in
reality he is just a little jew with the most harmful intentions.
The promised people, as you like to call yourself, know only the culture
of lying, abusing, exploiting, and destroying other people for profit.
That this is nothing to be open about shows in your comments.
I'm stupid because I speak the truth? Surely the jew does something
wrong, the fact that they have no culture but exploit others is just one
of the endless list of jewi$h crimes. You have to ask yourself, if you
jew$ are hunted for their entire existence by the entire planet, then
who is guilty, the ENTIRE planet or the jew?
You cant keep playing the 'innocent simpleton' forever!

As if he hadn't already disproven his ostensible intent by constantly
morphing nyms to avoid killfiles, he posts crap like this & *still*
expects to be believed.
Well, if they were smart, they wouldn't be bigots.

Or rather stupid because he says he's "only asking a question" in the
face of all of us pointing out that he's telling lies, & *now* he asys
"he's telling the truth" - when before he was insisting he was only
asking a question.
And they wonder why they get called stupid.

Yea.. most if not all of those people became famous not because of their
own creativity or genius, but only because schwindeln (manipulating
others), I think you jew$ have a special word for this called 'Chutzpah '.
For example the relativity jew einstein stole his theories from Italians,
then showed them to the world as if he created them. The same stragegy can
be seen practised by jewry in general.
Driven by his endless greed for money and fame the jew will walk over dead
bodys. Shame or morals is not something his powerhungry brain knows, he
would kill a 'Goyim' for a dollar!
I wonder how many people have been killed or exploited just so the jew$
could get his precious fame?

How about the endless list of jewi$h pedophiles, why dont you mention
this?
What about the terrible crimes the jew$ did to nazi Germany!?
Morals, moral law? Bullshit! just take a look at jewwatch.com for more
info.
And yes i know the jew invented christianity, femminism, communism and
more such propaganda. But was its purpose not to brainwash the "dumb
Goyim" and take power? Better talk honest to me, instead this bullshit
above!
So? Where is the harm in answering the question?

I see what you are driving to, but it is bullshit! The culture of monotheism
and science pedates Judaism and Christianity

Judaism and Christianity are highly respected by muslims. However. ancient
Judaism has been perverted by the people such as yourself, to mean what it
does not!

Why so much hate against me just because im a Aryan? have you never heard
about respect? damn this is just shameless, only a jew can talk like this!
If you are done looking down on Aryan, please remember that it is US who

from....he would extinct.

Absolutely right! He also stole advanced mathematical analysis of the theory

i seen this on television and basicly there are camps of "workers" from
poor nations, camps of chinese.. camps of indians etc., almost like
concentration camps, who will work very cheap for 10 - 12 - 14 hours a
day, mostly construction i think.
the peoples cant leave because their passports are hold back by the
employer.
I found the news story:

Start with the Balkans, Dodo.
No, I would rather start with the Netherlands and France then see if the
rest would learn the lesson.
Why not start with the Balkans instead, Dodo? They're used to that
sort of thing.
Because the other two countries are much more deserving.

Well, at least the French plays football reasonably well, but the

Jews are primitive ragheads. What can you possibly expect?
>>>>>>Did you find your recipe for cooking Palestinian children erotic,
Jews have indeed been chosen by G-d: chosen for massacres,
expulsions, purges, pogroms, 'holocausts', intifadas and, most
recently, Katyushas. Such a mitzvah already!
