volpunter,
I appreciate your honesty. I disagree with you on almost all points:
Jews: Other than Israel and their mistreatment of the Palestinians which I find appalling, Jewish people far far contribute to the wealth of the world than take away from it.
Technology: Facebook, Twitter, etc. It is easy to dismiss a company being worth $20B on the ability to type in 140 characters. I agree it is somewhat shocking valuation. However, anything that gets people talking has never been a bad thing. The consequences of people understanding each other across racial and geographic lines is completely revolutionary. Facebook and Twitter are at the center of that revolution.So, in this case, I close my eyes to the valuations and keep rooting for more people meeting each other half way that normally wouldn't, through the use of this technology.

what do you find appalling about their treatment? currently Israeli Arabs don't immigrate to other arab countries. that says it all. are you comparing the Israelis to hamas or to hezbollah or to Isis? what does your appalling motivate you to do?
