In Topic: Mel Gibson..The producer of "The Passion of the Christ" Anti-Semtic?

A large problem with anti-semetism is a very distorted view of cause and effect. You could ultimately "blame" all the wars of the world on any group, ethnicity, or religion. The real question is whether individuals of that group are responsible for previous acts of the group as a whole that may or may not have resulted in problems? Most reasonable people would say no, simply because that is the way we've been raised, and the ideals we hold strong.

But everything is relative, we can accuse Gibson of being generalizing, but we ourselves do it all the time. For instance, most of us (including me), don't subscribe to anarchism or communism, and we tend to generalize about the two groups.

Also, don't forget that only 100 years ago, there was much hatred for jews in Europe. While most of that has gone away, it's still occasionally visible today.

Interesting they'd do this. I can imagine that many people (who aren't using bots) login like this to save time. It's most likely that they also check other criteria such as constant refreshes and other behavior that indicates the use of a bot.
