Comments on: Gilad Atzmon – why bother? https://www.yourish.com/2006/12/04/2383 Cutting straight to the point Tue, 05 Dec 2006 16:13:04 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Meryl Yourish https://www.yourish.com/2006/12/04/2383/comment-page-1#comment-23314 Tue, 05 Dec 2006 16:13:04 +0000 http://www.yourish.com/2006/12/04/2383#comment-23314 Actually, this English major has decided that “I could care less” should always be read in the sarcastic voice, thus not driving me crazy any more.

Personally, I use “I could not care less,” but then, I also never write “a lot” as one word.

Or something like that.

In Israel the current fashion (it started with youngsters but even adults have started to copy it) is to use “It is a waste of time” regarding something in the opposite meaning, which is: it is so good that you should not waste your time hesitating – go for it!

Go figure ;-)

I could care less. We could care less, to be more precise.

While this is off topic, it is a pet peeve of mine (Down Spot!!). You should really mean “I could not care less“. To say as you do that you could care less means that you do care about the matter.

Alex: what you said

It would be nice to think that Zionists do control the world but if we do, how come we’re doing such a lousy job of it?

If we are so powerful, why haven’t I received my checks yet.

“He seems to be growing larger and fatter on criticism and attention alone, so why feed the troll?”

Exactly. Ymach shmo. Erase his name.

I feel bad for those British Jews who are under pressure to conform to a negative environment, and those Jews in academia under similar pressure.

But the solution is to stand up for what’s right, not to debate the ravings of lunatics.

Never wrestle with a pig. You both get muddy but only the pig likes it.

The only way a Jew gets accepted in the U.K. (and barely at that) is to be an Israel basher.

No Kidding. The Only Gilad I can think of is that poor man Gilad (Shalit) who was captured by Paleosimians.

Israeli Paratrooper,eh? Ya, know… Not to put too much stock in theories from regualar B movies but…

In the movie ‘Team America’, the villian’s brain was infected by a cockroaches from space. Ya think there might be a connection here???
