If I make a joke about Baptists, noone complains. Why only Jews? -- "iPad is to computing what Etch-A-Sketch is to art!" Larry Larry, you can make jokes about anyone you want. The problem is that your history of racially motivated attacks is pretty clear, so your claim about making jokes about other groups is a load of crap. Do what you want. I'm not your mother, but I certainly am not going to just let it slide without saying anything. And this is the News Group that has nurtured Wilbur for all these years. Albert Albert, I don't think nurtured is the right word, but I see your point. I've spoken out about this sort of behavior previously. And rather proves the validity of my previous statement. I don't see Larry saying those things about the Jews.... shoot, he doesn't even say those kind of things about Wilbur-Gregory-whatever. Albert I can't imagine anyone here condoning Neal's behavior, and his continued harassment of me _is_ a prime example. It's an individual attack and has nothing to do with the subject of racism, at least nothing I can determine. If you look at some of the stuff Larry's posted, you'll find he's said some pretty vile things about Jews. But, believe what you want. I'm not going to repeat them. He popped up with his racist crap, and I called him on it. You seem to have a problem with the latter, so whatever floats your boat. Nope, you got it wrong. I wasn't saying that Larry shouldn't be condemned, rather that if one individual is to be condemned for something then equally everyone should be condemned if they, in this case, bad mouth someone then condemn them, but don't let another individual get away with the same sort of actions. I remember Wilbur insulting Peggy until she vanished from the scene however I don't remember legions leaping out of the woodwork to condemn Wilbur. If you select one individual for using a word that you don't care for and fail to condemn every other who does essentially the same thing, then that rather smacks of prejudice doesn't it? Cheers, Bruce (bruceinbangkokatgmaildotcom) I don't think you can use the example of Neal being a jerk or harassing someone as an argument against condemnation of racial prejudice. You can't equate one-on-one harassment with condemning a whole group of people based on the color of their skin or their ethnic heritage. At least I don't see how they're in any way comparable. What Neal did to Peggy was reprehensible, and several people did come to her defense, but that's not "essentially" the same thing. I'm not sure of your definition of legions. It's a pretty small newsgroup. In any case, I've said what I believe. If you believe something different, fine. Well, we agree on one thing anyway :-) Cheers, Bruce (bruceinbangkokatgmaildotcom) Heh... well, that's something for sure! -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

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.

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.. 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? Cheers, Bruce (bruceinbangkokatgmaildotcom) See my other comment, but how would anyone be able to judge someone without some factual backup? The person in question inevitably falls into his racial diatribe, which is what he did. So, from his view a Southerner who observes a black behaving badly who them condemns all blacks would be in my view a racist, because you can't judge an entire people based on a few bad people. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

Right, judging him based upon his own acts.

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 |

Cheers, Bruce (bruceinbangkokatgmaildotcom) No. The so-called CSA were a coalition of reb redneck advocates of White Supremacy, moonshiners, and inbred Scots-Irish ridge-runners. Those with "education" were distinguishable from the rest mostly in that they coulld read the bible, so gleaned from it's pages the means to stay sober long enough to accumulate more money to purchase better uniforms, horses and sabers for glorious slaughter. The CSA was never a country, just as pirates are not a country, though they can readily stitch together a flag. And with women vote less and Jim Crow controlling polls even after Abolition, the Union wasn't a democracy either. Even now with a 2-party political system, each party selling their legislative votes to the highest bidder, you can't call the U.S. a democracy. It is more accurately called an "Auction Form of Government." The Union side preserved that. And Larry is an anti-Semite in his speech, otherwise he would wouldn't say Jew this and Jew that. Anti-Israel speech can be political, but anti-Jew speech is anti-Semitic. Larry likes to spout off and use his right of free speech to generate controversy, mostly tin-hat powered, but booze amps it up. I don't see him as evil-hearted to where he would drop the cyanide pills in a gas chamber. But much like the members of the aforementioned CSA, he's a redneck souse at heart, so without reins on him, no telling what he'd do. One thing for sure. Since alcohol is known to kill brains cells, he was surely once a genius. Again proving that a lick of common sense is not a requirement for "genius." |

I don't think Lincoln did. The Republican's stated position on Slavery in 1860 was simply that it wouldn't be allowed to expand into new territories. Lincoln did not campaign on freeing the slaves. The Emancipation Proclamation freed slaves in states revolting against the U.S.A. The initial proclamation only stated that slaves would be freed in "in any state of the Confederate States of America that did not return to Union control by January 1, 1863". The second proclamation, of 1863, freed them. Slaves were not freed in states not in rebellion. Cheers, Bruce (bruceinbangkokatgmaildotcom) |
