What does that mean?
It's a famous "joke" in which the question is "what's faster to New York or by train?" or "what's hotter in the summer or in the city?" and the answer is "an apple" or "pizza" "because ice cream has no bones".

So he wanted to avoid the question?

It means that for a nonsensical question, you give a similarly nonsensical answer.

Ok, thanks. This whole discussion centered around that question which he seemed fit to jump into. I don't expect you to answer for him.

Yes. Your argument is a straw man.

You created a thread with a highly provocative title with a quote of a member, essentially calling him (or if not him, Jews) as thinking "everything is about me", and then proceeded to complain when he returned the favor by calling you names.

You then went along this asinine path comparing things no one was comparing, and despite (to my count) at least 4 people patiently explaining the obvious intent, you continue to "ask" this question.

So yes, continuing the discussion honestly makes about as much sense as trying to answer if it is quicker to NY or by train.

It wasn't meant as an insult. It was to take this nonsense out of the other thread. You on the other hand keep hurling insult after insult. Keep it up as it just shows who you are.

You don’t need to apologize for acting like an a******  if you didn’t mean it. But even better - I will shut up and apologize if a single person here understood the OP non-sarcastically or non-provocatively.

Your belief is to treat your own better than non-Jews. That is exactly what goes on in most of the threads. I am the one who is insulted in almost every single thread.

You do realize this is a Jewish forum.... Now imagine if this was a black forum, how would the tone be?

I forget which Rebbe this was, a chassid came and complained that he's being treated like a doormat, everyone is stepping on him. The Rebbe answered that he should consider not lying down in front of the door...

I think that's a good approach, because I'd guess it removes a significant number of other factors.

I would say Jewish.

Do you have stats that show otherwise?
Would homicides be a good indicator? I can look them up if you want. It doesn't get any more dangerous than that.

Didn't know it was that bad. Not only is more dangerous for a Black compared to a religious Jew but also compared to Whites.

One of my beliefs is to go above and beyond for my fellow Jew. Another is to always be honest. That you think we'd all lie about how we read something in order to gang up on you and side with a Jew is so far beyond insulting... You just trashed the integrity of people you spend a good part of your day interacting with. And this isn't the first time you've made such claims. It's revolting.

I know what you meant but would like an answer to my question.

The answer to your question is I would expect it to be worse.

No I don't think you all lie. You are all very strict in your beliefs. That is a compliment not an insult.

@yuneeq claimed my title was an insult. I said that was not my intent. During this thread the insults toward me were numerous. Not once did someone call them out.
