With whats occuring now in the world, no doubt anti-semites of the world are smiling and waiting to blame the Jews.
This thread was started by myself to propose the theory that in fact gentiles have brought this on us, as traditional Jewish moneylending practices were discarded for gentile fuzzy financial thinking.
No doubt anti-semites will point to Jews involved-my theory is all of them are of a kind and were playing to a gentile tune to keep their positions safe-I mean, was Greenspan ever a 'Jewish Businessman'?
This is the 'gentile recession'-and I myself have been warning of it for years.
Intuition and a 'collateral is king' approach have been replaced by some mindless twentysomething on a phoneline and a computer scorecard. Slick (gentile) 'management consultants' and knucklehead bank employees have replaced the old finanially sound moneylender.

Greed is to blame, plain and simple, let's get the guys who are responsible and stop wasting time by trying to figure out which religion is greedier than the other.

When looking at the current crisis its stupid to blame a religion. Not all Jews are banksters and not all banksters are Jewish.

The question is who's greed and anti-semites will say 'the Jews'-my very point is this one was brought on by the gentile 'keeping up with the Joneses' mindset-looking rich not being rich.
You see if a Jew looks rich he probably is good at making money-if a gentile looks rich theres a good chance he is just good at getting finance.
Secondly largely gentile middle managements greed and laziness is to blame-not the greed of Jews that actually know a thing or two about finance.

You certainly know a thing or two about opening a can of worms, that's for sure.

I'm not a banker or very sophisticated but, I see it this way.

I would never lend anything I didn't have or couldn't afford to lose nor, would I borrow something I couldn't repay well beyond all reasonable doubt. I think most of the present problems stem from people ignoring those things.

I want to preface this by saying I do not get into religious debates. I do attend church every Sunday. My pastors family lives in Israel 6 months out of the year and are involved in the ICEJ. I do agree that anti-semitism is prevalent, I disagree that the gentiles are to blame. I think that you are being stereotypical in characterizing a certain group of people to blame the economic crisis on. I was married and he was cheap- they all called him IRA. That is a characteristic (not mine) that Jewish people are associated with. I have a friend whose family is Jewish, I mentioned something about "jewin' them down" and he looked at me and I was like- I am so sorry...he didn't even believe in God and was offended. The 'keeping up w/ the joneses' environment spans the world. Look at Dubai. I really don't think that I need to show proof for that one. So to place blame on the gentiles or visitors, is ridiculous. If you want to get into stereotypes, then the Jews would be the ones with money now. Placing the blame of a persons religious affiliation is irrelevant.

Please keep in mind that my comments are not to be taken in any offensive manner. I just want to show that it goes both ways. AND that (there is another thread to this) God will shake the world before the end of times. This includes the financial markets. If anyone wants more info, please U2U me, as I will not be posting my churches website on this board. If you are interested in hearing what my pastor has to say about this, the download is free for a few more days. Otherwise it costs $1.00.

I feel your pain. Lets forget about Jews and Gentiles for a minute. I work in manufacturing and nobody wants to listen to proven practice that makes common sense there either. At times it seems like people just want to see what they can get away with whether it makes sense or not even for them! It's like some mass sickness that has befallen the nation.
Seems like a reckoning of sorts.

Its what happens in a boom, and the smugness can be sickening. Thing is you won't be blamed for this-we just might be-really. We will be blamed for mindless herd mentality...what a joke.
