Default Offensive reader review on Cruise Critic


"FeAudrey" wrote in message
. com...
In article , says...


I do not use racist terms or words that offend people.


Except if the offended ones are Jewish.

Nope, I do not use terms that offend Jewish people. I have friends of all
colors, race and religions.


I am not a racist or a bigot.


Sez you.

Have I said anything to the contrare?


I will say -I am likely the least racist person anyone could meet.


Would anyone else say that about you?

Everyone would say that about me.


It may be this reason that I am not offended by the unintentional mis-use
of
a word.


So ... stick with your own kind, which doesn't seem to include people who
object to offensive stereotypes.


What would my own kind be? This statement smacks of bigotry. I think that
objection is healthy. However, the lot in this group is a wee bit over
sensitive to a common use of the word "jew". What if she had used the "n"
word? Would you have been so offended? I think not. Hypocrits. I am
seeing through all your responses and realizing that most of you that have
responded to me are racist and are offensive to groups other than the
Jewish.. I feel very sorry for you.

I must say that people in this group have way to much time on their
hands and should volunteer at their local library or something.


We're volunteering to set straight those who use grossly offensive
language.
Also their apologists.

I do not see "Jew down" as grossly offensive. I do find being called dumb
as a box of rocks grossly offensive.


I can not believe the response to a common use of the word-Jew.


That's because you are as dumb as a box of rocks. HTH.

no comment

No, I am not Jewish.


Who'd 'a' thunk it? But, perhaps, "some of your best friends ..."?

I asked my Jewish friends (they have a sense of humor). They are not
offended by the term "Jew them down" and agree that this is trivial.


However, I am a woman, on the chunky side, and am blonde. I have heard
it
all and you know what? The old children's song "Sticks and Stones"


Whatever you say ... piggy.

Is it Ok to call someone "piggy" ? but not OK to use the term "Jew them
down? You are a racist bigot.


You all do know what this person meant by the term.


Yes, we do. That's why we're objecting.

If you understood then you wouldn't be reacting like a child.


It was not malicious.


Just a little piece of carelessness? Ignorance? Lack of knowledge of any
mainstream term?

Most likely ignorance, lack of education, Maybe you should tar and feather
her? She's most likely black. Do ya think?


She used the term most likely because she had already used the term
bargain
in the previous paragraph and wanted a variation in her writing.


Gimme a break. The review is nearly illiterate.

You may be literate, but you are an unequivical example of an educated,
boorish, bigot.


As I said previously, why don't we work on the real hatred in the world

instead of "sweating the small stuff"

Casually disparaging a people who have been subject to repeated genocides
for
two thousand years isn't "real hatred"?

In the context of that cruise review? I am totally convinced that this was
her intention. lol J ackass, Get a friggin life.


Of course everyone has their own opinion and as
far as I can tell everyone is right!


Does that extend to the architects of WWII?


That is not even funny.

So.... la ...tee. ..da...good night.


You're asleep at the moral wheel.

I think you better take a look within...buddy


Dizzy blonde is dreaming of my next cruise.


What blonde? You mean yourself? Another nice session in the mirror,
instead
of a handbook of English usage?

Sorry , but I only graduated from a small private comunity college and I
don't put much emphasis on how I write in message groups. I save the big
words for my bestsellers.


Oh! I hope I didn't offend anyone....that's my nickname.


We're rolling our eyes, and hoping not to find out what other terms you
had no
idea might be offensive.

Lol, Your just a hoot!!!!! now that is an offensive term, if your an owl.

If one filters out these two threads about offensive term in a cruise
review, and all the press releases, is there anything left in this
newsgroup?


What's the matter, no one to pick on?
Yah know, "newbie", reading all your posts from April 7, through today;
nearly every single one of them has been a criticism...mostly against Ray G.
and anyone who is against the use of an offensive term which denigrates
the Jews.
Are you possibly an anti-Semitic T/A (or wanna be) who has been here awhile
and is now hiding under the handle of "newbie"? Sounds so much like someone
we all know, if you give it some thought! Hmmmm...maybe you are really not
so
much a newbie! I don't see any posts from you giving any useful cruise
information...and that's what this newsgroup is supposed to be about.




Which part of my comment lead you to imply I am anti-Semitic? As about
my contribution to the group... I hate to say this, but I provide as
much as Ray except I don't do press releases.
Don't worry, I am not a T/A and don't want to be one.

Default Offensive reader review "Jew Down"

Homosexuality is a lifestyle choice. A Jew can be someone who chose
the faith or can be born ethnically and racially Jewish. In that case
they can be identified in the same way an Asian or Negro is.

Like homosexuals?

If you are a Jewish homosexual, are you race squared?

Whereas idiocy is a genetic condition that can't be recognized on Usenet
until someone makes a post like the ones you make.

The gene pool must have been pretty shallow 9 months before you were born.
