Why are you talking about geopolitics? I said nothing about geopolitical issues. I said that Marlon Brando, and also a number of other Hollywood legends have said that Jews in America have influence over Hollywood. I never claimed ''Jews rule the world'' --- just that they have a lot of media influence. This is most certainly true.
Your original point was that hatred against Christians is okay/doesn't mean anything because they are privileged. Jews in America are rich; and the data certainly backs it up.

Jews make up 2% of the US population, a tiny percentage - yet make up 25% of 400 wealthiest Americans. That is an incredible statistic, and certainly illustrates that Jews, as a group of people are extremely powerful. There was also a British documentary recently called Things we don't say about race that are actually true - and it also produced a similar statistic in the UK, many of Britain's elite/wealthy are Jews, despite not making up much of the population.
This comes back to my original point, that Jews are 'privileged' (if you'd call it that) - discrimination and hatred is NOT okay. It does not matter if you're a Jew, Christian or Muslim.
From what I can tell, Jew refers to a follower of the religion.
Quote:Have to be does not mean "are" - His view pretty much ignores everything else about getting laid - It also assumes it's men who want to bang women when many times nowadays it's reciprocal because women want to have sex as well
No it doesn't. He put a general viewpoint out, that being funny, especially while male is often a fundamental factor into getting laid. Clearly, there are other factors, but what he put out was a general point.
I don't know why you think Hitchens was making a commentary on the overall culture of sexual relations, he simply commented on one aspect. Many women do want to have sex with men --- but many men will still try to be funny to further their chances of getting laid. They may also try looking better, etc. What Hitch said was a general point, not a manifesto on how to get laid.
