Jews the greatest ethnic group in terms of accomplishments for mankind???

[QUOTE=fos]Yeah threads like this are doomed for failure "My racial/religious/ethnic group is better than your racial/religious/ethnic group"!

We're all related, all of us have the same original ancestor. All religions basically are the same in that they're "rational" explanations to what man doesn't yet or can't understand.

Anyways, Bill Murray is worth at least 5 Einsteins IMO.[/QUOTE]
I agree with that, you have to respect every cultures contribution to society. Also people need to realize that just because you're a part of a certain ethnic group doesn't mean that you can sit on your ass and bask in other peoples accomplishments as if they were your own.

Yep, they are pound for pound the most accomplished demographic point blank period but I thought this was common knowledge.

What's interesting to see is if you enter an antrhopology class you'll note that the Ashkenazi Jews are far more susceptible to 25+ diseases that most other "races" are immune to, and contrastly they've made an outstanding impression on human culture.

In matters of finance and many fields of intellect, Jews reign supreme. Even Donks and Nick Young have some big frickin IQ's.

They got to step up their literature game though. The Brits and the Ruskies (EDIT WTF r dostoy, nabo, and trostky jews?) are owning that department. Oh and although Israel has a great military, you're gonna need more alpha soldiers my friends. Shalom.

Best comment of the whole thread.

But you can take pride in them.

EDIT: we're all forgetting David Stern... wait, I think we left him out for basketball reasons.

Ever hear of the six day war?

That's the one where the Jews ****ed up and let the Moslem's keep the Dome of the Rock? IDIOTS!

No it was the one where they ****ed up the entire UAR in 6 days.

[QUOTE]Ruskies (EDIT WTF r dostoy, nabo, and trostky jews?)[/QUOTE]
huh, i thought tolstoy and nabokov were but i guess not. dostoevsky definitely wasn't. trotsky was but not with any significance. ah well

Yeah but they could have taken the Temple Mount back but instead let the Palestinians keep the Dome of the Rock. Imagine all of the possible archaeological/biblical treasures they could have found under it? I'm not religious but aren't the Jews suppose to build a new Temple on that site and usher in the end of days?

I don't know, don't really care tbh. All that violence over silly bullshit just reminds me that we all came from monkeys, and the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Ethnic Germans have the highest average IQ in the world.

Shalom Alechem all my fellow jews...

Op you are correct..

jews are also the funniest... aside from being the smartest,richest,best looking (ok not really)and successful..

in Secular jewish homes education is highly looked upon and emphasized...

And yes gemara other known as talmud does in fact sharpen your mind...the torah is so deep and is filled with unlimited amount of knowledge. It enforces different methods and tactics of thinking such as logical thinking,Critical thinking,Creative thinking,Convergent thinking,Divergent thinking,and Inductive thinking.

Studying Torah(or any spiritual book IMO) also keeps your spirits high,gives you peace of mind,a special energy that cant be explained,etc...all the good stuff....so you avoid drugs,watching movies, and any other mediums of entertainment that distract you from self reflection and filling up that emptiness we all feel inside from time to time

sorry for the run on sentences i kinda rushed this

[QUOTE=knickballer]Also add the treacherous Alan Greenspan to your list[/QUOTE]
lawl, your anti-semetic feelings are strong and obvious

[QUOTE=Hazard]How does it differ from regular logic? Do they just take a dump over logic with a bunch of religious nonsense and accept it as fact? Pure logic is universal.[/QUOTE]
ACTUALLY fool, educate yourself
[QUOTE]Originally, Jewish scholarship was oral. Rabbis expounded and debated the law (the written law expressed in the Hebrew Bible) and discussed the Tanakh without the benefit of written works (other than the Biblical books themselves), though some may have made private notes (megillot setarim), for example of court decisions. This situation changed drastically, however, mainly as the result of the destruction of the Jewish commonwealth and the Second Temple in the year 70 CE and the consequent upheaval of Jewish social and legal norms. As the Rabbis were required to face a new reality

Still no mention of composers, conductors and musicians?
I never read any official data, but I have a feeling that the % of Jews in the elite level in the music field is insane.

Just off the top of my head

Rubinstein
Ashkenazy
Horowitz
Perahia
Schiff
Mendelssohn
Mahler
Schoenberg
Gershwin
Bernstein
Solti
Schnittke
Glass
Reich
Mintz
Stern
Barenboim

not to mention actors and comedians.

I left out entertainers and artists besides filmmakers because I knew most people would just dismiss them ("So what that guy was in a few decent movies, how does it benefit humanity?")
