Guest guest Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Hey - I haven't been attacked...my response was to a previous post. I have had some very strong negative reactions from a few folk however, usually not directed at me, just comments about Jews in general. I've also heard lots of complaints about accepting the " general religion " and misunderstanding about Christmas and Easter - we do not celebrate these and people don't get it...much like... " well what do you eat " ? Also - I'm a teacher - and I've heard some pretty nasty echos in children of what parents say (not in this area, we've moved a couple times - oh I heard one in this area). Now you bring up the CA thing...I don't know what it is, but some people here have really, really negative opinions about people down your way. I've never understood it. For many it is a joke...for many though it is serious!! gotta dash.. m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 I find a lot of people are jealous of the Jews. In my community it is hard to find a Jew that is not successful, and is not hated because of it by someone.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 I think because of the media people have the wrong idea thinking we live like the actors with all their problems or some of the strange things that happen out here like the trial of O.J. or Scott Peterson. melissa_hopp <hoppmel wrote: Hey - I haven't been attacked...my response was to a previous post.
