I had a close friend who was Jewish. Actually, to use his words a "cultural Jew" as his mother was not Jewish, But anyway, he used the word "Jew" to indicate individuals who were members of the Jewish religion, and Israeli to refer to individuals who were citizens of the state of Israel. He once said to me "Israelis are Jews but Jews are not necessarily Israelis". If my old mate could call people Jews then I reckon I can too. Cheers, Bruce (bruceinbangkokatgmaildotcom) Why would anyone think that's a problem? Larry isn't just calling someone who's jewish a jew is he. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

Thus, using a word in the 1800s might be fine, but using the same word in the 21st century could easily be wrong and hurtful. Equating the use of the word waiter to the N word isn't really a valid comparison.

I'm not sure what anything has to do with what a group calls themselves vs. what others call them when attempting to lump them into some less than human way, but feel free to explain. If you want to call yourself a Scottish American, go for it. As far as wasp goes, you probably don't want to use that term around the rich, white anglosaxon protestants at the local cpuntry club, not if you want to have any company on the patio anyway.

"Waiter" "Waitress" "Garcon" "Miss" "Mister" "Honey" "Doll" "Friend" "Pal" "Joe" "Mac" "Bub" Depends how you say it. And a smile can erase misinterpretation. The biggest politeness is in the tip. But if you have to actually think about how to address somebody, you've probably already lost the PC battle. --Vic |

: I havent researched what happened to larrys shipmates enough to know the truth, but there is alot of questionable evidence and accounts of what happened. http://www.gtr5.com/ Straight information from the crew's own mouth who survived both attacks. Captain McGonagle is the ONLY Congressional Medal of Honor winner, our highest honor, that DIDN'T get his medal in the Oval Office of the White House in full view of the press, the people and the world. His medal came in a secret, guarded ceremony in the Washington Navy Yard so we wouldn't upset the Zionists who run our government from Israel. The words you see on gtr5.com are the words of the men who lived through it. You'll also find, on that page, open testimony of radio communications people who monitored the event at their various Navy communications stations between the Med and America. Theirs is also first-hand testimony. Threatening the crew with prison if they opened their mouths only added resolve to their getting the word out all these years in honor of their fallen shipmates. ================================================== ==================== This morning there are some real horror tales of genocide coming out of Gaza. One man was directed by Isreali soldiers to leave his house and take all his relatives to another house nearby "for safety". While he was out searching for water to give to the starving children, the Israeli monsters bombed the very house the soldiers told him to put his family in, killing 27 members all together when the building simply imploded with the blast from an Israeli bomb. Every American who has any concience at all needs to be watching the news reports from Al Jazeera on: http://english.aljazeera.net/watch_now/ Aljazeera is the only news agency that was already in Gaza before the Israelis locked up the border in an attempt to keep the world from seeing the atrocities they are committing against innocent women and children. As of noon, they had found 92 more bodies buried in the rubble, but every time they start digging, as you can see on the live video feeds, israeli soldiers show up and run off the rescuers in panic, scared to death they'll kill them, too. Hamas stupid idiots fired off 3 more rockets trying to provoke more atrocities from the Israelis into Israel. All of them should be shot, saving lives. Enough is enough. |

Where I live there's no need for that. We have things called thermostats. However, since turning lights off or on is forbidden on the Sabbath, orthodox Jews sometimes hire a goy to come in and do that. I also learned very recently what the difference is between a regular elevator and a Sabbath elevator. The latter stops at every floor so there is no need to perform the forbidden work of pressing the elevator button. They don't seem to have any trouble pressing buttons on Saturday over Gaza. The guns and launchers don't launch themselves. |

Shipmates? He and his shipmates were attacked by hordes of jews? Maybe Rahm
Emanuel attached him while they slept. "Joe" wrote in message ... On Jan 17, 7:17 pm, "Capt. JG" wrote: John, perhaps you should read what Larry wrote.
