As for my comment interesting response...I meant exactly that. Why would you assume I thought you anti-Semite just bc I posted a Dr Seuss link? Although I hope it was sarcasm, because that's a huge leap otherwise.
ok.... I dont mean to be rude but cmon. I just linked twice showing the cartoon is specifically about anti semitism. I am sorry you missed that.
"The Sneetches" was intended by Seuss as a satire of discrimination between races and cultures, and was specifically inspired by his opposition to antisemitism

as I jusr said,I am aware of it already. I am very familiar because,as I said,I worked in pre School,have read it to children. have seen the cartoon.
And in addition I am very interested in antisemitism so I have come across this information before. It is not 'opinion' it is fact. Fact.

Perfect example of arrogance ^ ^ ^

You are so rude. Would you say that to someone in person? Are you this rude in real life?
And in response to your other question from the other ignorant post. No we did not discuss anti-semetism. It is not an age appropriate topic. They are pre-schoolers remember.
The reason I know about it,is because I am interested in anti-semetism. I think it is bs for the most part and I see this story as subliminal propaganda for children.
I worked in a Pre School when I was young by the way,and had no problem with the book then. I also was not aware it was specifically about anti semetism at the time I would say. I would not have put much thought into it.
But let me say again,I take great offence to you insulting my work at Pre Schools. I worked in a couple actually. Shame on you buddy.

The impression came from you saying that my response was "interesting".
It was not "interesting" it was correct. Why would you say "interesting" if not to imply I was anti semetic or at least wrong. Which I clearly am not. Correct as usual.
He is quoted as saying, “children’s literature as I write it and as I see it is satire to a great extent … there’s The Sneetches … which was inspired by my opposition to anti-Semitism.” I suppose the star should have been a giveaway.

You are exhausting. My "attitude as a result"? I am telling you that I am aware of the book and how. I could have just as easily remembered the book from my own childhood,but I missed that suess story I think. I remember it from when I was working in a pre school.
I am right. You are wrong. It is about anti semetism. Deal with it.
Nothing "interesting" about me pointing that out. Its correct.
not open for interpratation. Nothing is. Thats just what dumb people tell themselves.

Seuss may have written the book as anti-Semitism, but it fits other scenarios involving cultural clashes as well. Reading a story and applying it to a new situation is a higher order thinking skill.

So you are now admitting that you were dumb for having done this? Good, you are coming along.
As far as the "i am right, you are wrong blah blah blah", you are still having some issues with the fact that you are incorrect and trying to cover for it with arrogance and rudeness. We can try to address that next and help you through it if you like....

You should both say you are sorry for doubting me.
I know what I am talking about. Its clear actually.
edit- and yet you insult me just because I am correct and I make you feel silly. Americans need to get over themselves. Seriously. You are so stubborn and quick to assume someone is stupid when they point you in the right direction. And so quick to insult someone. So defensive. So lost.
Just search through a lot of my threads
Seriously though:
North Korea directs missile towards Australia - This has to be probably the thread where the war between US and Aus picked up heat Starts at around page 5/6/7 - Keep on reading it too, you'll see a bunch of crap lol:

There are many more, i just can't be bothered with pointing out everything.
Good day to you

If, at some point, I am wrong, I'll be happy to admit it, but I haven't been yet.
It's completely up to you if you want to find quotes, if you don't want to do it, don't.
Pig headed? Pigs are mammals, I'm a chiten, chitens are birds. Do you perhaps need a tutor for biology/zoology as well?
