You are so talented and unique. I just wrote a book of Holocaust poetry, many based on my family's experiences. I hope to perform them one day like you do. Meri

@fangedflower What you're saying is that what hebrewmamita said about Christian children and Jesus Christ is an inside joke within the Jewish Community based on a negative perception of the assumed "Christian" perception of Jews. This is mockery of Christianity and its wrong! In the 7th chapter of St. Matthew's (HOLY BIBLE) the Lord Jesus Christ tells His disciples they will know a tree according to the fruit it bares (Sound judgment). I ask for forgiveness for all of my sins BGLenn.

@etalutargnoc The idea that jews drank the blood of christian children was a stereotype from hundreds of years ago that occasionally reappears. She was making a reference to hateful words said against jews. It wasn't disrespectful of her at all to do so. Your comment that she should ask for forgiveness in Jesus Christ doesn't convey a non-judgmental persona (that of her culture bandit poem). In fact, the brazen proselytizing could be perceived as antisemitic or simply ignorant.

@etalutargnoc I made a mistake by saying you're right to an extent. If I was saying you are VULGAR directly You're would have been the correct usage of the word. Thank you for your comment.
