do you work your patterns in joined rounds? or all the way around without joining?

Hello! Sorry for the late reply - no I use continuous rounds without joining, unless specifically stated otherwise :)

Someone who is dating someone I really care about just tried to pin my stance on refugees from Syria and how ISIS has stated that they fucking hid their men amongst them, on the Jews. He basically went "But the JDL are terrorists too and nobody said anything!!!!1"...I wasnt even fucking talking about the JDL it was completely irrelevant. I was talking about how comparing syrian refugees to Jews after wwII didnt sit right with me because people use us to push their political agendas and then(cont

2.) don't give a shit about our lives in the present day. This asshole was saying how Israel is obligated take in refugees as well as the US because they can "afford" to and calling it oppression to deny them. I'm sorry I'm concerned for my OWN people's safety? my OWN family? my heart goes out to the refugees but there is no way to screen them, we don't know who they are, would you let a complete stranger into your home to live there? not to mention calling all criticism of islam islamphobia

Goddamn, your friend’s SO is an arsehole, but you already knew that. 

There are a lot of cases when I hear these myopic shitty arguments and realize that I really wish someone would have pointed out to me why they’re crap arguments when I was much younger. 

So, to start, Captain FuckPants over there is saying that the Richest country in the world shouldn’t take in more refugees than a country 1/50 it’s size. Israel and Syria have been at war for decades, and this asshole pretends that the security risks are the same as letting in refugees from across the Atlantic in after vetting each one of them for 12-18 months.

Speaking of vetting, the U.S refugee admissions program has an annual budget of 1 billion dollars. If anyone thinks Israel can afford that, they’re welcome to sort out the rest of the nation’s finances.

I really don’t even want to address the JDL in a post, but is that arsehole kidding me? The U.S has more white terrorism than the JDL can hope to commit in its most depraved wank fantasies.

All of these add up to someone having a really disproportionate fixation on Teh J00z and how they ruin things. Quelle surprise.

amidst the grim news I keep hearing, this humor keeps me going! I guess laughter is the best coping mechanism when you live in a country with shitty neighbors! Love, an Israeli American
