Feif Un-
Reminds me of a story back in the days when I was a teacher.
One of my students misbehaved in the dormitory and the dorm counselor called his father down for a meeting. The father thought the dorm counselor was overstepping his authority but complied anyway.
“Can you tell your son that he has to respect me because I have a beard?” the dorm counselor asked the father.
“No”, answered the father, “I only teach my kids to respect people for what they have due to their accomplishments, not for things they have because they were too lazy to do anything about it”.
By the way- did we come across each other on another (non-Jewish) website a couple of years back? I went by the screen name “Algorithm Al” (it’s since been retired, I haven’t been there in ages). I remember that there was this guy named “Sholom” claiming to be a Palestinian loving Jew and either you or someone with your writing personality always used some great lines at him.
