Raulmarrio2000:
It's sad that Jews come to Budhism for spiritual growth, instead of Torah.
And regarding people with low IQ, that does not concern us!!! We are not the owners of the world, we have to save Israel and Europe and America from terror.

Well, jews really benefit from practical and philosophical ntelligence.  To lead a jewish life is very demanding..
And gentiles that are more intelligent are more likely to be a bit universalistic, and not persecute jews  , that helps.
There isn't that much we can do about these things but it helps to at least understand the situation.

I don't agree. Budhism cannot help a Jew in any way. I disagree with Reform but in case I found a Jew lost among strange religions, if he is not willing to be fully Orthodox, I'd advise him to search at least a Reform Synagogue, and not to be lost in complete foreign culture and assimilation.
And regarding Gentiles, I don't believe intelligence people are alaways more tolerant.

Race has everything to do with it. Introduce basic technology to a race of intelligent people, like the Japanese, let it perculate for 100 years, and you get modern Tokyo, leading edge technology and advancement, do the same thing in Africa, or Arabia, and you get nothing, primitives who do nothing with it, might as well hand off ideas and knowledge to chimpanzees, you'll get the same result.

The Khoisan are still crafting spears as their most advanced technology.  :laugh:

You know, if I were to be dumped in the Kalahari, I would prefer to have a Khoisan there to help me than anyone else, except possibly Rubystars, but we haven't been introduced. If on the other hand if I wanted to contribute to European society, I'd prefer to be in the company of those whose ancestors created it. The fact that blacks can exist in European society does not mean that they contribute meaningfully to it, or that they could have created it in the first place. To me this is so obvious that I am astonished that it is still being discussed.
