Ask Cherry Pie

I mean I've come across people who finished public school who didn't know how to read or write. You will find people who didn't get a good education no matter where you look but people tend to single out the homeschooled ones to try and make it look like homeschooling is bad across the board. The homeschoolers you personally know aren't representative of most homeschoolers. We have stats that show that homeschoolers typically surpass their public schooled peers in academics so personal anecdotes don't really mean much.

I understand what you're saying and that you claim to have met people who fit that description to a T, but based on what you deem to be "disbelieving in science" I'm pretty skeptical of your claims.

I grew up homeschooled and knew a ton of homeschoolers. I think it's safe to say more than you and I never met a single one that fit that description to a T so you saying "debunked because I met a few I think don't believe in science because they don't believe evolution" doesn't actually debunk the argument when the homeschoolers you personally know are less than 1% of the homeschoolers that exist.

I agree that it's not good to not be able to defend beliefs or interact with someone who believes otherwise but come on. It's pretty pretentious and ridiculous to think that is a homeschool problem. Like kids coming out of public school suck at that just as much if not more than anyone else so whatever deficiencies you are blaming on homeschooling don't get better in public school. I mean you seem to be pretty unreceptive and judgmental about people because they don't accept some of the things that you've accepted and think are indisputable facts.

The post was not saying there are no homeschoolers like that in existence but it was saying the number of homeschoolers that are like that is so rare it's not a relevant argument against homeschooling because it's not homeschooling that's the problem there. If it was, essentially every homeschooler would be like that but that's not the case.

And if the few homeschoolers you know are evidence against homeschooling than the few public schoolers I know who are socially and academically deficient should prove public school is just as much of a problem, right?

It's just kind of annoying because you can see 1,000 well adjusted and well educated homeschoolers but then someone goes "well I know one that's wack because they believe in the biblical account of creation and I'm pretty sure they've never had a conversation with anyone outside their religion" and think they've made a case against homeschooling. And sorry but I just don't believe you when you say they've never had a conversation with people outside their religion. There's really no way you could know that and it just seems like you're making those judgments based on your own personal biases.

Incidentally, my parents were not allowed to raise me. I was placed, by the California courts, into the State-funded group-home system, where half the parents were religious nutters and the other half were either hippies who believed in psychic phenomena or check-cashers who didn't care what we did or thought so long as we were there for breakfast and dinner.

The Jewish aren't white, they are indigenous to that area and comparing white Europeans in Africa to the Jewish in the region that, up until Arab Colonization, contained a country known as "Judea" is just fucking hilarious. XD

Also, it's simple. Jews don't come from Judea, they're from all over the world. As for their ethnicity, they're white when it benefits them, and not-white when THAT does.

"Jews didn't originate from the place that every historian agrees they originated from, they have no origin point!" And your next line is "they're grifters and thieves, just like the gypsies!"

they're white when it benefits them, and not-white when THAT does.

I'm not saying NOBODY came from Judea, I'm saying Judaism is a religion, not an ethnicity lmao

As someone who did try to convert to Judaism in the past, the conversion process is pretty difficult. You can't declare yourself Jewish and be done with it. You have to learn Hebrew and also about the religion itself, be circumcised if you are male, and either have a rabbinical sponsor if you're going the Reform route or be judged in a beit din (court of rabbis) for Conservative or Orthodox conversion to make sure your conversion is genuine. That and traditionally converts will be refused twice in order to turn away the people with ulterior motives. This is VERY different from Christianity or Islam, who proselytize to hell and back.

Also, the Talmud is just a book of religious arguments. Yes, it's used as a law book in more Orthodox communities, but it's not the fucking Necronomicon. For a rough equivalent, imagine that St. Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, and/or the letters of Paul were used to demonize Christians-especially by people who had never actually read them.

Hey Sammy, you hear that You could have been white at any time.

As for "Ethnic Jews"

Honestly if there wasn't at least a half dozen answers that may or may not contradict the others it wouldn't be Judaism.

Ask 3 Rabbis the same question get 5 different answers, it both fascinating and infuriating at times

Secular, agnostic, atheist, and even probably a few Converso's all got marched into camps in WWII.

Ethnoreligous groups are wild.

But they do exist and erasing them because you want a reason to lump them in with a different group for the purpose of hating on them is just kinda evil.

Then again if we want to try and pull out the race card, maybe we go by the US Census Bureau to find out who's white an not.

Oh look Arabs and the rest of the MENA bunch are white according to this.

Great, I’m a Rafael Sabatini love inter-

Democrat lawmakers have proposed a bill to ban private militia and paramilitary groups from operating in the United States.

Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) and Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) introduced the “Preventing Private Paramilitary Activity Act” legislation following the three-year anniversary of the storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Where is the International protection the Palestinian people is entitled to when the occupying power violates international law and harms those it is obliged to protect. Aren't Palestinians lives worth saving?

If that law exists, it is an unjust one. You do not owe protection to a country that is trying to destroy yours.

P.s. your tags? Ukraine wasn't "fighting for freedom" Russia invaded them. They were fighting an invading genocidal force bent on erasing their country.

We have here the Israel High Court of Justice itself using the term "Belligerent Occupation". So in the case of the West Bank it is something Israel itself freely acknowledges.

It's also the opinion the International Committee of the Red Cross that Gaza is also Occupied territory.

They have more than enough proof that Hamas is using human shields.

And again, why is Gaza is not held to these standards themselves? Their elected government crossed into Israel and killed 1400 people on October 7th, kidnapped 220 more, and is holding them for ransom (which I have personally seen many antizionists claim demanding something for their return is some reasonable deal that Israel needs to take or they don't care about their own people). Why is Israel the only one you people are painting as war criminals???? Why is Gaza attacking Israel, targeting almost exclusively civilians, and kidnapping over 200 people to hold for ransom something you people are INTENTIONALLY sleeping on?

The "Palestinian Liberation Organization" immediately began terrorist attacks because they did not believe Israel even had a right to exist. Because Jordan wanted a peace treaty with Israel (after invading them and losing), they outlawed the PLO and any "Palestinians" who support the PLO because they didn't want to continue to be a staging area for PLO terror attacks.

When Arabs talk about "occupied land", they don't limit themselves to the West Bank, Gaza, or the Golan Heights. They are referencing the entirety of Israel.

As to "Palestinians", no such identity existed for any Arab group before Israel's creation in 1948. Before that, the region was part of the British Mandate, created when the Ottoman Empire likewise picked a fight and lost, giving up land in exchange for peace. The Ottomans had four provinces which met in the area, none of which were "Palestine". Jerusalem was an International City, effectively its own province.

So the people who owned the land gave it to the British who let the UN create two nations out of it, and virtually the entire Arab world tried to wipe one of those off the map starting the same day it came into existence.

To them risking people's lives is nothing, they want to kill and erase the Jewish population.

You need to know that the IDF lets people know where and when there will be a shoot so the people will leave the building (there's a tactic that calls knocks on the roof)

However, after the event on October 8, The IDF WILL ELIMINATE ALL THE HAMAS PEOPLE.

So instead of "free Palestine" write "free people from hamas"

No, I will not do that.

I will not write anything that takes away accountability from Israel, just as I will abhor Hamas' terrible actions. Because this was never about Hamas. Israel doesn't give two shits to differentiate whether who is a member of it or not. Never mind the fact that none of you still acknowledge that Hamas exists because of Israel in the first place. They've been doing this shit since before Hamas and they've upped the scale because they are finally given a good excuse to, or as good as it can be if you're dumb and/or heartless enough to believe them.

"the IDF lets people know where there will be a shoot so people leave the building" You mean like when they threatened the doctors of that chirstian hospital, telling the staff to abandon the injured refugees? Saying that they gave them a choice and that it's their fault for staying, despite the fact that they cannot fucking leave the damn hospital because there are people who need treatment? How considerate of them to do that before blowing them to bits. And I mean literal bits. A lot of the corpses were not intact. But what about when they gave a route that Palestinians could use to flee, promised it was safe, but still murdered them in cold blood? Such terrible manners, gosh.

And quite frankly, the Arab world has been oppressing and killing the Jewish before Israel was even reestablished and there have been groups attacking Israel mere days after it started, so of course conflict was happening before Hamas, it's been happening since before ISRAEL.

Yes, Israel is absolutely committing attrocities, as all people do during a war, but Hamas IS committing worse crimes (it is a war crime to use human shields, and the guilty party is the one using them, not the one killing them, not to mention unlike Israel Hamas is going out of it's way to garuntee innocent casualties. Both in using human shields and in seeking out random Israeli civilians to torture and murder), and yet no one on the pro-palestine side will even criticize them. Shit even being expected to us considered ridiculous. Not to mention, half the time, Everything they've done gets dismissed as Israeli Propaganda. Pro-palestine people won't even acknowledge Hamas even does anything wrong. Occasionally one of you will just go "yeah, Hamas bad, but-" and then harp on about Israel supposedly committing genocide. You clearly want one side to have the blame instead of holding everyone who is responsible, well, responsible.

P.s. I've personally never hid behind an anon shield to voice my pro-israel stance. I'll never side with people who won't even criticize the terrorists calling for genocide that lead Palestine. As far as I'm concerned the following things are true:

Israel is the native land of the Jewish people. They have every right to live there, and most not only came from the surrounding regions, being forced from those regions by the countries that have always hated them, but were born there.

What's happening in Gaza is a tragedy, and I pray for a quick end to the conflict, but that can't happen if Hamas doesn't stand down. A ceasefire requires both parties to call.

Hamas is the main party responsible for what's happening. They are the ones who killed 1400 Israeli civilians during a music festival on the eve of an agreement that, by all accounts, would have benefited Palestine and even potentially brought the conflict to a rest. They continuously use Palestinians as human shields, have raped Israeli women, and even killed babies. They are scum, and Pro-palestine people being so unwilling to condemn them, or even let them share the tiniest sliver of blame for what's happening in favor of crying "Israel is committing genocide" is quite ridiculous.

In the West, most of the opposition to Israel is because someone decided they were a white colonizer state. I've personally seen so many pro-palestine people scream this in comment sections and articles. So there is an element of racism to all this.

Hamas was founded expressly to "drive Israel into the sea". It's in their founding documents. It's like saying Mein Kampf wasn't REALLY Hitler's point of view.

This is how people in the 1930s convinced themselves that nothing was going to happen, and that was DID happen was "internal matters" or "happening over there and none of our business".

Even if we accept the framing that Israelis are indigenous to Palestine, and disregard the absurdity of Europeans colonising an area their ancestors didn't live in for millennia — it STILL doesn't address the actual horrors at hand.

And much like idiots like you, they care nothing that they drove them from that place to begin with, oppressed and killed them while they were forced to live in Arab land and beyond, and seek to do so again.

All while justifying it by screaming "genocide" and insisting they're Europeans (i.e. white, and thus acceptable to wish death upon).

I give this statement four Pinocchios

If a person isn’t against nazism, they are a nazi.

You see, the "table" doesn't end with ONE TABLE. It extends to any table the other nine people ever sit at, and then all the tables any of those people sit at, and ultimately we discover that the "original Nazi" was actually just sitting at someone else's table who was also accused of being a Nazi.
