Ask JTF For Motza'ei Shabbat, September 30, moved up a day due to Yom Kippur.
Hail Columbia:
Chaim, what is your opinion of The Last King of Scotland? It's a film about a bleeding-heart liberal from Scotland who volunteers to work at a medical clinic in Uganda, and ends up being an assistant for dictator Idi Amin.
Noahide:
Dear Chaim,
Thank you for your comments last week on my post. My question is about the word 'goy'. I have read that it is a Hebrew word that originally meant 'cattle' and that it later became an insulting term for Gentiles. This was quite troubling. However I later came across a reference to the Jewish people as 'goy gadol' which was translated as a 'high people'. I already knew that the phrase 'kohen gadol' means 'high priest'. Therefore I suppose that 'goy' might actually mean 'people'. Which meaning is correct?
Regards from Noahide.

--- Quote from: jsullivan on September 27, 2006, 12:50:43 AM ---I personally never understood the mentality of people who become sports fanatics. This obsession with hitting a ball seems ridiculous to me.
Sure I played baseball when I was a kid, but I never enjoyed watching other people play.
Now when the sports teams are so overwhelming black and Third World, the whole thing just annoys me.
The sports world turns retarded black criminals, rapists, murderers and beasts into heroes.
Why would people allow themselves to waste such a large portion of their lives following these games with such great interest? It's just ridiculous.
People should participate in sports for their health because playing is good exercise. But to make it something so important?
As far as Jews who become athletes, generally speaking, they are opportunistic egotists who would sell their mothers to get ahead or to win a game. These are certainly not role models.
The opening post here says that if the Mets win, it will take us to the promised land.
Really? How is the world going to be a better place if the Mets win? How will the Mets winning the World Series change the life of the poster in a real way?
The establishment that is destroying America and Israel uses these stupid games to dumb us down.
No matter who wins the World Series, the people who waste so much of their lives worrying about this nonsense are the big losers.

I agree with you on some points, but sport is one of the few bonds males have today. I don't know. I guess I'm just a deluded simpleton.
To answer your question patches: Rav Meir Kahane, zt"l, was a Giants fan and a huge sports fan.
