Joe Talking about money, wouldn't that be bad JewJew? -- "iPad is to computing what Etch-A-Sketch is to art!" Larry Larry, your racism really has no place here or anywhere. Why isn't anyone allowed to make a JOKE with the word JEW in it? Am I supposed to feel guilty? I don't. If I make a joke about Baptists, noone complains. Why only Jews? A derogatory joke about Jews is racist, a derogatory joke about Baptists is not racist. Pretty simple. If you were consistently derisive about any other race, like Africans or Asians, you'd be getting the same grief, maybe more. Stephen I suggest that your statement is incorrect. Do some research on the type of jokes told in the Catskill resorts, commonly known as the Borsch Belt. Or read up on current Israeli humor. You will find that the jokes are far more vicious then the rather innocuous remarks made by Larry. And, if you think that a joke about Baptists can't be derogatory have a look at N. Irish humor, or even British, for that matter who not only differentiate between "church" and "chapel" but also proper schools and "red brick universities". And is you want to hear really vicious ethnic humor listen to the Chinese, if you want to talk about Asians. In fact I have never been anywhere that the "people" didn't talk about the "other people". I don't know that condemning something that appears to be universal is entirely logical. Cheers, Bruce (bruceinbangkokatgmaildotcom) I think there's a big difference between Borsch Belt humor and the many racist comments Larry's made over the last, say, year. Perhaps you missed them. I think Stephen recalls them, which was why he commented. I certainly do. I called Larry on them then, and I do now. The old borscht belt humor was about Jews telling jokes about Jews to other Jews. Larry's anti-Jewish comments and "jokes" are grounded in his anti-Semitism. Ah.. rather a prejudgment isn't that? Larry is anti-Semitic and thus if he uses the word "Jew" twice in a row it is bad? Cheers, Bruce (bruceinbangkokatgmaildotcom) Nope... dozens of times, probably more than that. Read through some of his previous posts where he said A.H. didn't finish the job, etc. As I have commented, you are judging Larry based on how you perceive him based on his activities.. Right, judging him based upon his own acts. No prejudice involved, and it's the best way of judging someone. of course, the Southerner who see indolent Negro and conceives the notion that Negros are lazy, or the Australian who sees Aborigines reeling drunk in the streets and conceives the notion that Black-fellows are worthless, or the Thai who observes that drunken tourists groping the prostitute and conceives that foreigners are really pretty sleazy people are prejudicial. Right? Right, prejudice is judging an entire group based upon the actions of a few in that group. It is a fallacy and a very poor, not to mention, evil, way of judging anyone. Stephen Correct. I'm not judging all people who's first name is Larry based on Larry's behavior. Yet Larry is basing his view of Jews on the actions of a very few. In fact, he goes well beyond just judging them. He makes vast leaps in logic to support his notion of them being evil. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |
