I gave you the thumbs down for your comments on children. I disagree with you and think kids make a marraige or relationship all the better. I was blessed with twin daughters 28 years ago, they have been the highlight of my life. One now married to a doctor and working for Space X, the other working for Google and married to an IT engineer. Both married in the last year and both so happy. This makes me happy and fullfilled. You will never feel this. In fact you will never come close to the feeling. Stop with the BS rocky I have never been dishonest. You are constantly putting others down, and trying to pick arguments.

Far more chance of the Jewry being exterminated, than take over the world. There are only 16 million of them. Likely to be far, far less when Israel ceases to exist in a decade or two and the Muslim neighbors move in to butcher as many of them as they can get their hands on.
