Kosher Jewish People?
Those Jewish people who keep kosher, how do you feel about Jews who do not bother to keep kosher? Does it offend you at all? Are there ever instances where you would consider breaking kosher? I want to know. Thanks.

I wish they did but no it does not offend me.
If I was trapped in some wilderness and it was "eat pig or die" then I MIGHT eat it. It is permissible then to eat it....but I am not sure I could personally do it. I could mix milk and meat before I could eat pork. That is just too foul for words for me.
As the odds are that I will never be in a life threatening situation where it was "eat non-kosher or die", then there is no instance where I would consider breaking kosher. I have smelled bacon cooking and it smelled great. I didn't consider eating it.
I wish all Jews were Orthodox Jews of course and Reform Jews may wish all Jews were Reform, I don't know BUT I do know I consider them just as Jewish as I am.
The Jews that bother me the most are those who were born to Jewish mothers and are thus under the covenant with G-d and yet they choose to embrace another faith and often, not only embrace it, but try to actively get other Jews to leave Judaism and embrace that faith. THAT I find offensive.

There are many sects of Jews including Reformed jews who generally do not keep Kosher. In this world of craziness and mayhem, I am just happy to see Jews celebrating most or all Jewish Holidays, and carrying on Jewish traditions like Bar and Bat Mitzvahs and proper Wedding Ceremonies and hope their children will continue the traditions.
I know most Orthodox Jew do not even consider Reformed Jews, Jews which is a shonda.

It really hurts to see, and we never get used to it (and never will). Of course I will always eat kosher.

To save a life is more important than the other kosher laws. So if all you got to eat is pork, you eat the pork.
The two big rules are you can not worship another god and you can not commit adultery.

Jewish answer: That is between them and Gd.
That's about the only answer you should get as it doesn't concern you as a NON-Jew

No, I don't care what other people do. When I had my own house, I'd never consider it, but living with other people, I do. #1, I tried to put my plates out, but THAT was a big mess (for some reason, other people figured "oh, it's just somebody else'e plates, so I can throw them out" - no, I don't mean BROKE them and threw them out, I mean how some people apparently get pleasure out of throwing perfectly good things away so they can get the joy of buying replacements), so none of my pots or flatware went out.
