Re: [FairfieldLife] Jews and Black Death!
Hi Mike, why do you think that happened? I'm wondering if they were the first group to espouse the idea of one God rather than many gods. Could that have been the reason? Or does it always come back to the land, resources and the economics of physical survival? In other words many others perceived them as a threat. PS Yahoo was very wonky yesterday in terms of sending posts to my email inbox. I often received replies to posts before I received the actual post. For example, I received comments on the movie review of Lincoln before I received the original post by Turq. I know I could use Message View but I prefer email. This means that sometimes my replies are written without my having seen certain posts that haven't come into inbox yet. Whatever!

Of course not. To my knowledge, it began with the Catholic Church, as far as European antisemitism goes. Of course Martin Luther continued what Catholics began. However, it seems hatred for Jews began long before Christianity came along, even among other Semites.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Jews and Black Death!
On Yahoo email, I consistently now receive most posts out of order and a growing number of them never reach me, which makes for gaps in watching conversations unfold - one of my favorite things to do on FFL. I am training myself to read the direct interface and figure out how not to close out of it by mistake. I seem to have to hit the back key a lot, I wish there was a manual for idiots on this, on facebook, etc. Turns out, it makes following a conversation significantly easier as it shows in a tree who has responded to what directly. Yes, that's the level of learning on the internet that I'm at. I want to stop having FFL go to my email address. But, I can't figure out how to forward a post. I don't see the button for it. Do I just copy and send the link to myself? Sometimes, like with Xeno's latest posts or Edg's, I want to reread them.
