Why do you think that Jews are so smart?

Bugsey @Bugsey (775) • United States 1 Aug 08

I think it's bacause: 1. They have to be; 2. Their history has taught them that pragmaticism is the key to survive; 3. They are naturally gifted; 4. They have learned lessons from their history; 5. The Torah is a good wholesome...

gunslinger I'll do both. I don't consider myself as a good singer but I had been a member of a choir that sings praises for God. But if ever I have that incredible talent, I wouldn't mind using it as a means for my living. I'll make sure though that I will sing good...

gunslinger Ever since I've tried out writing using a computer, I know that I've found out what I'd want to use. There's still no problem for me if I write down using pen and paper. It's just that using a computer is much more convenient. If I write, I usually edit my own...
