religion. Most Jews today are of European stock having lost their semetism by
intermarriage over the millenia.

Denegrates? How about honors?? In a culture that values one's ability to
bargain, having that ability called by the name of your culture would seem a
compliment to me. It is only perjorative in the mind of somebody who thinks
that bargaining is dishonorable .... somebody like you????


Vito, are you Jewish? Maybe the argument would best be solved by

As do Arabs and many other cultures. I didn't say that Jews were the only
bargainers in the world or even the best or most fervent. I merely pointed out
that bargaining is implicite in their religion.

It is NOT implicit in their religion. If so, please show us some
references to this in the Talmud or Torah.

It's a racist comment... jewing down. Disgusting.

No, it is not, because Jews do not comprise a "race". Nor is it derogatory (you
must have a streak of antisemetism in you that you're ashamed of to think it
is). I know may non-Jews who proudly brag about 'Jewing' others down. Some of
them wisely keep a 'Jew Book' - a record of their income & expenditures.

Well, I really don't care what you think. It's clearly derogatory, and
I strongly suggest you keep your mouth shut when in certain crowds, as
you would surely be stompted into unconsciousness for your comment.

Actually, I think Vito has it backwards. In much of the world, haggling is
normal and expected. However, the new testament is laced with unfavorable
references to the rich, and injunctions to abjure money-getting and refrain
from demonstrations of wealth. As a result, it's us Christians who seem to
be out of the mainstream.

I do not have it backward, Bobby does. I agree completely with the rest of your
statement. I merely say that in a world of bargainers being known as the best
is, or should be a compliment. "Jew down" is tactic recognition that Jews are
the best. I'm sorry if any Jews are offended by it -- they shouldn't be.

The problem is that implicit in the phrase is the assumption that the
speaker regards haggling as an undesirable trait, and thus intends to
express disapproval of an ethnic group by his use of the phrase. Thus, the
Jew hearing the phrase, probably correctly, assumes that the speaker
intends
to express hostility to those having that trait.

One problem is that the assumption may not be correct in all cases. My
wife,
who is Jewish, takes pride in her ability to hondle. But she was appalled
years ago to hear my grandmother use the phrase "Jew down." Funny thing is
my grandmother had probably never before met a Jew in her life and didn't
view the phrase as an ethnic slur at all. To her, it was a neutral term
for
bargaining over price, although she viewed bargaining over price as not a
desirable thing to do, particularly if she was on the receiving end.

There are all kinds of subtleties here, and great potential for
miscommunication, so it's not a good phrase to use.

It's not semantic games, it's conceptual knowledge and reasoning.

How can one offend a group without offending the individual members of a
group?

If a negro calls other negroes the "N" word is that offensive?

I have two very close Jewish friends who, in general, dislike Jews. Yes,
they're both from New York. Are they racist? If I dislike Jews for the same
reason am I a racist?

The error in your reasoning is that you think everyone thinks like you and
you have no consistent standards of what is offensive.

I'm proud to say that I am not prejudiced. I strive to offend everyone
equally.

Bush to build Concentration Camps, Cheney to Profit!
 

No it's a game you like to play.

The error in your reasoning is that you think that playing games is the end
all and be all of existence and that civility has no place.

It's not semantic games, it's conceptual knowledge and reasoning.

How can one offend a group without offending the individual members of a
group?

If a negro calls other negroes the "N" word is that offensive?

I have two very close Jewish friends who, in general, dislike Jews. Yes,
they're both from New York. Are they racist? If I dislike Jews for the
same reason am I a racist?

The error in your reasoning is that you think everyone thinks like you and
you have no consistent standards of what is offensive.

I'm proud to say that I am not prejudiced. I strive to offend everyone
equally.

Amen!

Play all the semantic games you want. It's offensive, and anyone who does
it is a troubled person.

Can the same be said about murder?

If one is murdered it's ok?

If a vast group is, then it's not?

So how does one offend a group without offending the members
individually?

So you are prejudiced against minorities, especially the smallest one,
the individual?

No one cares if it offends you. The point is that it offends the vast
majority of a people.

Forget it Jon, all wops are like that!

Doesn't offend me in the least. Ever hear our rendition of the 3
little pigs?
They're cowering in brick pigs house when he makes a call. Instantly a
big limo
pulls up. Four big pigs get out, stomp the crap out of the wolf, put a
gun in
his mouth and blow the top of his head off. Then they get back into
the limo,
run over him a couple times, then drive off. Jeeze, says straw pig,
what was
that. Oh, just our cousins the guinea pigs ....
