| I remember how, back in 2008, a girl in the Adventist club invited me to one on one Bible studies. The intention was to teach me about Adventism. Yet I derailed the whole thing to asking my own questions about the Bible. She was extremely patient with me, and we parted on good terms (it ended when I... |

| I hated growing up in the 80s. I remember my dad demanding eye-contact when he was angry. Oh yeah I remember it too, except that it was probably my grandma (mom's mom) rather than my dad. But it didn't affect me because, in my mind, it wasn't a punishment. The punishment was either if they beat me ... |

| By the way it puzzles me why, typically, straight people want to be their own gender while gay people want to be the opposite gender. I am opposite to this. I tend to internalize whatever I am being attracted to. So since I am attracted to women this makes me want to be a woman. That's not how it g... |

| Then again, there could be people who have both sensory and psychological reasons to avoid physical contact. Like, someone may have sensory issues, but they might also have negative experiences unrelated to them about physical contact, like having been abused in the past, so they avoid physical con... |

| As I tried to pay attention at what I do for a few days I noticed one thing. If I make an eye contact, then the other person looks back which "feels as if" they are inviting me to say something. I don't want to say anything since I want the other person to start a conversation first. And t... |

| There is a distinction between support and loyalty. You can be loyal to Israel and not support all of her policies. That would be relevant if Israeli policies are bad. Trump obviously doesn't think so. If someone thinks Israeli policies are bad, yet wonders why Jews don't support them, then it is a... |

| Trump is not a traditional person Which is THE main thing I like about him. so to him the idea that Jews should have dual loyalty is not a negative. Exactly my point Just because he does not view it as a negative does not mean it is not a negative. Most people view it as a negative and bad things u... |

| The “dual loyalty” thing is classic anti-Semitism. First, Trump is not accusing Jews of dual loyalty. He makes the opposite statement. Namely, that they SHOULD BE dual loyal, but they are NOT. Secondly, antisemitism means accusing them of something negative. So the only way for dual loyalty stateme... |

| Oh okay, but if Israel would be a narrower country, and harder to defend, is that a bad thing necessarily? I mean countries like Belize and Switerzerland, are smaller than Israel for example, and they seem to do fine, even though they are smaller? Because Belize and Switzerland aren't being attacke... |

| From my point of view, Trump is being "opposite" to antisemitism. He criticizes Jews for being antisemitic. There is a concept of "self hating Jews" or in other words "antisemitic Jews". Thats the concept that pro-Israel Jews are using in criticizing anti-Israel Jews. ... |

| There are theologically based Protestant views towards Israel that people outside of those views don't get. Even if a Protestant with such views says something negative about Jews and or Israel, it's meant as constructive criticism. In a nutshell the Protestant view I'm taking about is absolute sup... |

| If you're a college professor, this raises the stakes when it comes to yielding eye contact when passing people, particularly students. Teachers need to make themselves approachable. It's part of the job. In my case, I have my own wish for people to approach me, *outside* of job. Of course, the job... |
