You do realize there's an ignore button, right?

You talk about wasting your time, yet you keep responding.

Let me say it again: don't interact with me.

Stop telling me what to do

It's not quite as simple as that. I see this forum as something that everyone needs to take care of. That being said, we can all go off of the reservation occasionally. It is good to self-monitor whenever possible. In that vein, I'm flagging our last interaction as "not valuable" in my estimation. I hold that the essay length arguments, from both of us, on mostly thread derailing topics were not valuable to the forum, or to me, until forum members of significance tell me otherwise. I don't wish to repeat it. Me avoiding you does not obligate me to stop posting. It merely means that I am aware of a bad pattern and am avoiding it, while you have not and are not. I suggest that you do the same. It requires nothing more of you than to ignore my posts. I will ignore yours. It's nothing personal.

No, you are flagging me as being "not valuable", not us. And the reason for doing that is because i don't agree with you. That is as mature as a 12 year old kid flipping the chessboard once he loses.

As i said, you just want a private space for you to "spread knowledge" and feed your ego and illusion of grandeur.

I watched the whole Marching to Zion film.

The guy asserts that the Jews are barely a race because their kind was scattered to the four winds thousands of years ago, where they interbred with the locals until they barely resemble their ancestors. He went back in time and conservatively approximated that one single generation would be 30 years (I'd say it's more like 20 but whatever), which means that 2000 years ago we'd have to have 1.171295238 x 10^20 unique people on Earth who did not intermarry between family trees for any particular race of people to have been "pure" during that whole time. That number gets way, way bigger the further back you go.

He also did some genetic testing and discovered that his grandmother is mostly Hungarian Ashkenazi Jew.

There's a lot more than that in the film, but I'm not terribly religious and it's too much to think about at this point. One aspect was how supporting Israel (aka the land of those who forsook God) is one of the prophecies concerning the end of days and that any nation who does so will become cursed by God. I don't know if this is a 2000 year old trollish example of the fallacy where any given prediction on a long enough timeline will come true.
