After all, how dare anyone even refer to, let alone propagate, such a repugnant stereotype as that Jewish people have a sense of humour aligned toward joke-telling, and are good at it?

I’ll have to wait till I’m home to watch the videos. The lady in the preview looks charming – I love the little smirk captured in the freeze-frame.

Xeni, you might want to note that the soundtracks of these videos are mildly NSFW.

i feel like my college education is a scam. i don’t get it.

the response would be “gurer’f ab rssva’ jnl”.. geddit?

maybe i should click the eye on my own comment for not getting it.

I got no problem with racism (sans bigotry), as there clearly are broad similarities among peoples with millenia old genetic associations. I am a racist, and I am NOT a bigot. (maybe I’m “taking the word back”?)

The problems come in when people use race to pre-judge a person (or group) to justify their own hatreds. The hate is the problem. The bigot would just find another hook to hang his hate on if race were not obvious as an issue.

It’s also a problem when someone who feels like a victim lashes out at a percieved attacker. Many targets of racial bigotry are understandably nudgy when race is brought up, even when it is done in a hate-less way and in a non-bigoted forum.

Akezys,

BB is free entertainment. There are not operators standing by. If you want more moderatorial coverage, mail a check.

why not?

And yes, that is true that I’ll write only to say something different: unison cannot make good harmony.

No, it makes a chorus. Without one some of us have to sing louder.

That may give the impression that I am ‘picking apart’ but it isn’t what I am doing; I am just a professional dissenter.

Yes, it is exactly what you’re doing. I’m not pre-offended, I’m annoyed that all you have to offer here is negativity. See below.

Anyway I can’t do that for solid, well thought out comments and so I don’t.

yeah, see, that was entirely necessary. You agree with my point, but more strongly feel the need to cringe over my semantics (despite my open acknowlegement that I was using the word ‘racism’ in a limited way that some might find clumsy)

A false apology with a backhand at the end. Bravo, really adds to the discussion.

With that sort of method it is not so easy (from here) to tell the difference between someone who disagrees and wants to be a bit dickish about it, and someone who agrees and wants to be a bit dickish. One thing is for certain.

That’s it. I’m flagging it.

So, sorry, no backhand.

I’ll mix a bit of positive in my negative from now on.

I’ve clicked the eyeball on your comment.

Didn’t mean to be uppity or demand action. I understand that BB is free – and I should expect no more than I pay for.

I sense that your comment about mailing a cheque was tongue-in-cheek. In that vein, however, I must ask – does BB take donations in any way? I would be happy to send some coin your guys’ way.

I thought BB had hired moderators however? Well, I don’t presume to understand BB’s dynamic. I just assumed complicity in the comment due to no action (as I normally applaud the fast moderatorial action here). Shouldn’t have jumped to conclusions.

Have a good one.

Anyone care to correct the assumption?

Cultures do have trends and mindsets though, that’s what gives them the relative homgeniety to be called ‘cultures’ in the first place.

OK, tell it again :)

This penalty is independent of the dismvowelling visited upon the other comment.

I thought AHA! was the standard punchline for Jewish jokes.

“There’s no f*** in broccoli.” AHA! AHA!

I see your spoiler hasn’t been disemvoweled, tho. Should I take this to the Mod Policy thread? I will bitch and complain until I has my way!

If anyone sent donations, I know exactly where and how I’d allocate them — not that I’m holding my breath. Besides, if they did, I’d have to come up with a thank-you note that gracefully conveyed our warm regards and thanks while making it clear that the donation would have no effect on policy.
