(Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:35pm) «Jºnªthªn» odd - mom was teaching in jewish day schools, and we had little or no religioun at home. I guess she got it out at work... (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:35pm) «jaye» i just wish i'd known people who were jewish when i was growing up. that's something i hated about catholic schooling. that's all you know. ... (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:35pm) «Talcott» hehehe (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:35pm) «jaye» ... it's even weird when there's a protestent kid there. (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:35pm) «jaye» oh damn. i'm gonna miss my bus. bye wall! (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:36pm) «Jºnªthªn» isn't this jewhead.com? (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:36pm) «Talcott» Jaci: Looking around, I think you know a few jewish kids now ;) (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:36pm) «Talcott» Bye Jaci! (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:36pm) «iPauley» We had one kid in 4th grade that did not participate in our christmas and easter stuff in school... but he also didn't participate in valentines day... (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:37pm) «sheryls» talcott, are you working? (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:37pm) «iPauley» we really didn't know what to make of him. I mean, if he was jewish, I'd understand the christmas and easter, but valentines? (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:37pm) «Talcott» My school never did any holiday stuff. (once again, progressive and public) (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:37pm) «Talcott» Sheryl: Yeah, upward bound again (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:38pm) «danced with Lazlo» i wished I could not participate in some of the christmas stuff in school... (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:38pm) «danced with Lazlo» but no one else ever said anything (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:38pm) «Jºnªthªn» maybe he was one of those things like 7th day adventists who don't celebrate anything (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:38pm) «sheryls» oh, my public schools ALWAYS did holiday stuff. there was alway slike, the one jewish pin-up board. (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:38pm) «danced with Lazlo» i was scared to speak up alone (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:38pm) «sheryls» in choir i sang ALOT of christian music, but i took it as choral excersizes, as most of the great choral works are not secular. (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:39pm) «danced with Lazlo» 7th day adventists are the other people who get to take the SATs on Sunday (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:39pm) «Jºnªthªn» i got kicked out of kindergarden for correcting the teacher about a hannukah song... (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:39pm) «sheryls» see, i never was. i always piped up. "how the hell should i know? i'm jewish." (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:39pm) «sheryls» i remember in 11 honors english we read billy budd (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:40pm) «sheryls» who is a literary character known as a "christ-like figure" (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:40pm) «sheryls» well, we never discussed that in class and on the test was a question about it.. (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:40pm) «Jºnªthªn» and you said "who-like figure?" (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:40pm) «sheryls» i had NO idea. the question was "who's life is billy budd's likened to?" (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:41pm) «Talcott» I grew up going to my dad's church (since my mom isn't too religious), so it was never a personal issue, but I made a point to make a mention if a teacher (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:41pm) «Talcott» assumed everyone was christian (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:41pm) «danced with Lazlo» Sheryl... I always accepted that in high school chorus we were going to sing christian works because those are the best choral works in existence (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:41pm) «sheryls» "compare and contrast the 2 lives" (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:41pm) «danced with Lazlo» i focused on the music (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:41pm) «iPauley» I was baptised catholic, but when I was in 7th grade, my dad stopped going (and taking us) to church. I just continued to sleep in. (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:41pm) «sheryls» gella: exactly. did you guys ever sing ceremony of carols? man that was tough. britton is hard. (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:41pm) «danced with Lazlo» heh... but Sheryl, you should look at the Christian Bible as a literary work! (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:42pm) «sheryls» gella: yeah but that doesnt mean i've read it! :D (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:42pm) «Jºnªthªn» I see it as the appendix (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:42pm) «lawrence» dude, the Christian Bible is a pretty good literary work, too. it's not the best written thing in the world, but some of the stories are pretty cool. :) (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:42pm) «danced with Lazlo» no, we didn't... we sang a few requiems and some Handel and such (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:42pm) «sheryls» well i just bullshat my way through the answer but i failed it. when i mentioned i didnt know who his life was like, she thought i was nuts. (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:42pm) «sheryls» she said he was a christ-like figure, and i said "well, i woudlnt know that, i dont know anything about the life of christ." (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:43pm) «danced with Lazlo» what was cool was when we sang a christian work in English and I recognized the words from Jewish prayers (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:43pm) «sheryls» she felt pretty salty. i forgave her, so long as she chanegd my grade. she did :) (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:43pm) «sheryls» hehe :D (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:43pm) «danced with Lazlo» Sheryl: nice! (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:44pm) «Talcott» See, I remember at some point in highschool my teacher going over the basics of christianity (in a lit. sense) for that exact reason. We also did a bunch of oth (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:44pm) «Jºnªthªn» you beat the christian establishment! in the old country, they beat you... (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:44pm) «Talcott» er religions in that manner for the same reason. (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:44pm) «sheryls» /me had a solo in ceremony - it was near impossible! (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:44pm) «sheryls» lol jonathan :D (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:45pm) «lawrence» I remember we had some sort of overview of "major" world religions in 10th grade... (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:45pm) «Jºnªthªn» :o) (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:45pm) «lawrence» we read different creation stories and things and compared them because they all had some similarities (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:45pm) «iPauley» Lawrence -- in NYS, we call that "Global Studies". 9th and 10th grade social studies. (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:46pm) «Talcott» Lawrence: My 5th grade teacher talked about Wicca (in a good way). Of course, she also read us Beowulf! :D (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:46pm) «iPauley» well, it wasn't exactly like that (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:46pm) «lawrence» yeah. for us it was, uh... "humanties" or something generic like that (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:46pm) «iPauley» it was less religions, and more cultures. religions were covered though. (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:46pm) «lawrence» wow. a teacher who talks about wicca? was it a public school? did people whine about it? (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:46pm) «Talcott» Yeah, we did a lot of religon-based novels. Siddartha, My Name Is Asher Lev, um..those are the two that come to mind right away (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:47pm) «Jºnªthªn» anybody else get peeved when they hear the term "judeo-christian ethic" (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:47pm) «iPauley» there were test questions on things like the 5 pillars of Islam and such scattered in with the castes and social classes. (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:47pm) «Talcott» Lawrence: Well, it was a liberal, lottery-in, artsy type school. Someone may have complained, but I don't know really (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:47pm) «lawrence» ah, sounds like a good school. :) (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:48pm) «Jºnªthªn» "there is no god but allah, and mohamed is his prophet.." (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:48pm) «sheryls» we read siddhartha. i think in 12 honors. i'm not sure tho. (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:48pm) «Talcott» It was ;) And it's what more schools should/can be. Of course they won't be because you can't teach to the test there *grumblegrumblegrumble* (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:50pm) «sheryls» talcott, did you tell me if you were at work or not? i wasnt paying attention. (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:50pm) «Jºnªthªn» I read about a teacher getting fired for having a Wiccan web site... it had some nudity... (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:51pm) «Talcott» Sheryl: Yeah, upward bound tonight. Hey...any chance I could hit you up to drive me to meijer later (for me to buy groceries)? (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:51pm) «sheryls» what's later? (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:52pm) «Talcott» Um..9:30ish when I get out of here (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:52pm) «sheryls» although, i'm pretty well rested, i slept over 10 hours last night. (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:52pm) «Talcott» wow! Lucky! (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:53pm) «lawrence» oh, btw, Talcott, about your statement earlier about the pledge: "it always reminded me of the films of kids in totalarian schools" (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:54pm) «Talcott» yeah.. (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:54pm) «lawrence» that analogy was made in another discussion online. the pledge *is* kind of nationalistic. (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:54pm) «lawrence» that was the reason they added "under god" in the 50s. to distinguish it from the totalitarian communist countries. (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:55pm) «Talcott» *rolls eyes* (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:55pm) «sheryls» talcott: yeah, 9:30 is fine. do you need to stop home first? (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:55pm) «Jºnªthªn» Yes, this is a totalitarian christian democratic country goshdarnit (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:55pm) «Talcott» ok, I can't even keep from laughing at that one ;) (I don't doubt that was the intenet, but still) (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:55pm) «Talcott» Sheryl: Not really, unless that would make it eaiser for you somehow) (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:56pm) «sheryls» no. just wondering :) what lab are you in? (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:56pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» Like George Carlin said, he likes the idea of school uniforms. He first saw it in newsreels in the '50s...but he couldn't understand the narration because... (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:57pm) «sheryls» just call me when youre ready to be picked up. (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:57pm) «lawrence» well, yeah. the intent was also to root out communists - they figured that the communists wouldn't say it if it had God in it. (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:57pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» it was in German. (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:57pm) «meh» *lurk lurk lurk* (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:57pm) «sheryls» lacy! lovely lurking lacy!!!! (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:57pm) «Jºnªthªn» Gotta scoot. Have fun discussing politics and planning grocery runs! (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:57pm) «Michael (foof) Maki» {rolls eyes} the stupidity feeding on itself is like a snake biting its tail. (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:57pm) «Talcott» Can you Fr�m me your #, I don't have it here (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:58pm) «Talcott» 'ello Lacy! (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:58pm) «meh» /me is practicing to be as good as Hastur and Ligur (Jun 27, 2002 @ 7:58pm) «iPauley» this isn't a democratic country. it was not designed as such.
