    I think you may have misunderstood my intention. I am proud of myself as a person, with no inclusion of skin color, heritage, political position, gender, etc.

    I too have Jewish heritage. I occasionally make fun of the stereotypical traits, as they exist in me. Would another Jewish person find that offensive?

    Apparently it is a real word and means what you might think it means. I seem to be much more of a genius than I thought! Well, as a devotee of Objectivism I can see why I thought of that word.
    Selfism refers to any philosophy, theory, doctrine, or tendency that upholds explicitly selfish principles as being desirable. The term is usually used pejoratively

    I was thinking something in the more off color category.

    Thank you! Leftists are easily offended by many things!


    I am Jewish. I keep some Laws -- Sabbath and Holidays, some kosher. I am not a typical Jew -- most Jews are much more successful.

    Stop measuring yourself against others.

    As long as you give 100% of what you have to give to everything you do, then that is all that matters.
