Seder is the passover meal, the one portrayed in the last supper i think, so I'd assume it was yesterday (not really sure about that, just what I remember from the Bible).

I assume he was invited - or trespassing :)

Umm... I think that is impossible. I thought Jews didn't believe in Christ, so therefore, how can they have a Last Supper meal?

Correct me if I'm wrong.

my understanding is that they didn't believe christ was the son of god. i wasn't aware there was any significant controversy over the existance of the individual...

*shrug*

i'm just an atheist though, don't listen to me :p


This was what I was reffering to - at least in the RC faith, it is believed that the last meal shared with his disciples was a Seder meal. Sorry if I misstated that in the original reply.

i think the perfect culture is a hybrid between asian and western. asian for the work ethic, education, respect, and food... and western for humor, creativity, and openness (and food, from people like the italians).

I think I'll keep my American work ethic.

If Asia was so hard working and prosperous, I'd be moving to China instead of you moving here to the USA.

People underestimate America's work ethic. Yes, we look lazy while we're working, but we did succeed in making the world's most powerful country... and you're now living on the land that "lazy Americans" built.

There's nothing wrong with being an American, you're one of us now, so stop putting our work ethic down. We must have done something right to get where we are...
you seem to credit americas success to some superior "american" race. living on the land that the "americans" built? the only reason the US is what it is today is because we are the gathering place for the hardest working and most talented people from all over the world.

God I swear asians are so full of themselves. I thought white people were bad (I'm white btw), and I don't mean to come across as racist and it could be that I am just not associating with the right people, but to me asians try to make themselves out to be this superior, all knowing race. Nothing against you, gopunk, or any asians out there that take this the wrong way. I'm not racist, just step off that horse and join the rest of us.

Its not all asians, its just those west coast asians and wanna-be gangster asians. The rest of us are well grounded.

mmm not all West Coast Asians...just wanna be gangsters and mis-informed Asians like you.

You took my post *completely* the wrong way. Show me where I said anything like that (about an American "race")

The dude moved to America and I told him that he's "one of us" now. We were all immigrants at one time or another, and we all worked for what we have.

He wasn't criticizing any race, he was criticizing Americans. I told him that Americans didn't get to the position they're at by being lazy.

You better be damned sure that you know what you're talking about before you play the race card. Learn to read properly.

No I disagree, I am well grounded. I would also like to add FOBs to the list.
