- I find PAndy's assertive proof methodology amusing, to say the least.
- The word "Goy" comes from the Hebrew word "goy" (duh) which means
- "nation" (or "people"). There is nothing intrinsically negative about
- this. In fact, when modified (something that can also be done), it can
- mean a variety of things (Goy Kadosh - a holy people - springs to mind;
- hardly negative).
-
- I hardly expect PAndy to acknowledge this after his presumptuous rant, of
- course. Maybe he should ask Noam Chomsky.
