It only starts with the porn-watching. Soon enough, in an amazingly unpredictable move, the prof is inviting the students to act out the scenes for extra marks. 

I doubt that will take place in the aforementioned film club.

Way to spoil extra-curricular academic dreams.

Apart from anal lining of course.

Nothing?

So you're saying you're not a monster full of hatred?

Like I have enough energy for all that.

Hatred implies caring.

We're Number 8! We're Number 8! Or, 189th depending on your observation.

Damn Germany: http://global100.adl.org/#country/germany

Of course France is way worse and in a scarier way, the young are far more AS than the older generation

Iran having only 52% was a bit surprising.  Not much more than Poland's 45%.  Also, Greece & Turkey both at 69%-- I guess they agree on one thing.

A poll can say one thing, but if I'm a jew there is one country of those four I'm sure as hell not moving to.

I think it's been mentioned that many Japanese believe in some of the stereotypes or myths but actually regard them as a positive.

Damn South Korea is 53% http://global100.adl.org/#country/south-korea

I blame Tim.

But it may be that they also think Jews rule the world but think that is awesome.
