- As a full fledged member in bad standing of the "Once an altar boy always an

- I must say ol chum. I don't have a problem with an orthodox jew looking for
- an orthodox jew for a relationship. In fact I went out with a jewish lass
- for 4 years. Visited her this summer. She called this xmas. She requested
- a child. This offspring thing is getting out of hand.
- Course she wasn't an "Orthodox" jew.

- Well I like to think I have a lot of people that are special to me.
-
- Core values are rather simple:
- Treat others as you would like to be treated.
- Have fun or leave.
- Attack the pompous and feel free to feel superior to them.
- An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
- Give with no strings attached.
- Work to live not live to work.
- Defend/support your friends.
- Screw your enemies.
- Skepticism is not a bad thing.
- Have disdain for people who feel the need to inflict their morality upon
- my life and dream of shoving my morality down their's.
- I may be shallow but if I don't love myself who else will.
- And the big one---> Count on yourself.
- Etc, etc.

- They do sound special.
