Then as I said, ask "blablaboo." I'm not kidding. Go to the NY Post, register, and post there. If a woman on the original article went that far, why don't you ask "blablaboo?"
Of course! It was coined most probably by Jewish teenagers THEMSELVES who know their own fellow Jewish teenagers very well based on the fact that upper-middle-class suburbs in Nassau and Suffolk counties and in equivalently well-off areas of NJ have high %s of Jewish inhabitants. Replace "Jewish" with "Italian Catholic" and you may even have had "IAP."
Onglet39, if you can honestly claim that racist epithets which are not targeted towards African-Americans offend you just as much as the "N" word would - that's your prerogative. I will openly admit that while I find racist curses against blacks and Jews ugly, they do not hurt ME personally as much as racist curses tailored towards my own community.
Obviously it does matter to me and that's why I spoke up. Your response, to essentially say that I'm not Jewish and therefore shouldn't be complaining, is wrong. If it weren't for the fact that non-black people had the balls to stand up and say something in the past, I wouldn't be sitting here jerking around on C-D right now.
Decent, upstanding people do not think, "Well those nasty racial comments don't hurt me as much as they would were they directed to me personally so I guess I'll turn a blind eye."
So the implication that Jewish women are typically disgusting is hysterical?

You and Onglet39 are thinking that I found his use of the word "pigs" hysterical when I never said that. There were other parts of "Blablaboo's" post which, while very blunt, were funny to me. If you, Onglet39, or anybody else do not accept this statement on my part as truthful, it's your prerogative.
Frankly I think both you and Onglet39 are taking this way too personally; at least, you as a person of Jewish ancestry, can be said to have a personal stake in this story (although CD poster "Betamanlet" claims to be Jewish himself and wasn't in the least offended).
No, I thought the entire paragraph was disgusting, and I think you are disgusting too for finding it funny.
I think there's a weird thing that happens here, that somehow it is cool to be self-absorbed and materialistic. An "I deserve best and everyone else should recognize it" mentality. I fell into that trap myself for quite a while too. Extreme egotism is what it is. To be honest it's something I have to remain conscious of, I have to call myself out still from time to time when I slip into that pattern of thinking. The "I should have" "I must have" "I deserve" thing.
Hi Onglet39,
What I find ironic about it is that people imagine themselves as being respected by being in possession of material. Here are some observations that I make.
A person thinks that by driving a Mercedes people will respect them.
The same person above thinks people who drive Mercedes are usually unworthy scum.
I believe this humorous solopism exists because, in their world, their possessions are gained by merit. Other people are assumed to achieve success through swindle, nepotism and bone throws.
In reality, the best thing to project is that of a charming inferiority. One does not want to project a festering social slippage because that would frighten the stylish socialites. However, those who operate at a modest premium are more charming to those with luxury. To have one of the smaller, but meticulously kept, houses on the block is to be the most endearing because one will satisfy the perceived social standing of those around; yet, one will not frighten or embarrass them.
Peasant food is satisfying. The food of the gods is tasty. The food of an emperor is poisoned.
Obviously it does matter to me and that's why I spoke up. Your response, to essentially say that I'm not Jewish and therefore shouldn't be complaining, is wrong. If it weren't for the fact that non-black people had the balls to stand up and say something in the past, I wouldn't be sitting here jerking around on C-D right now.
Decent, upstanding people do not think, "Well those nasty racial comments don't hurt me as much as they would were they directed to me personally so I guess I'll turn a blind eye."
That's what cowards do.
No, my complaint is that you took the entire post by "blablaboo" and claimed I was laughing at the word "pigs" whereas I was laughing at other parts of his post.
So the implication that Jewish women are typically disgusting is hysterical?
You are well aware that "blablaboo's" statements were not directed towards Jewish women of NY as a whole but rather towards those who, as per the NY Post article, are divorced and are extremely materialistic.

I'm hurt.
