Well, I tired to be nice but its appearant that you are a docuhebag. I mixed actual facts in with ynaking your chain as it was evident it would be easy to do given your rampant inferiority complex.

Anyway, have fun being fratty and dressing like you stuck in the 80's with a little twist of "Revenge of The Nerds" (so how is Lambda Lambda Lambda?). You most defineitely were one of the kids that got thrwon into lockers in high school and now are overcompensating for it by professing some elitest snob bs and now you're acting all hard behing your computer. Its pricks like you that give fraternities a dad name. You're a joke.
You've lost it champ. Too bad.

Probably both. And, no, I'm not pulling your chain.

Only lame people use the term "uber". So, that makes you lame.

If PhiKapSkulls says it, it must be true.

Or maybe he was just pulling more chains.

That would be great. Thanks. While you're bowing, you can shine my elitist, frat boy loafers.

Mac, how old are the pennies on those elitist loafers? They need to be at least 19th century or you're just not fratty and elitist enough.

I made the mistake earlier of assuming too much so....could you please explain what "jewskin" is? It's not in any normal dictionary or even on Urbandictionary. I'd like to know the facts before I'm tempted to strangle you.

Oh, he means it in the base, inflammatory way you think he does. This is the only "decent" reference I found that includes the term: http://www.time.com/time/magazine/ar...romoid=googlep

Any other link using the term appeared to be skinhead or racist groups. Hmphf. Interesting. You're a class act, EW.

Hundreds of years ago people made things out of the skin of persecuted Jews who were thought to be heretics.

Leslie Anne 03-26-2008 02:10 AM
Thanks for the link, nittany. Yes, that's what I had guessed.

Anyone else feel defiled just being on the same messageboard with this POS? I'm too tired right now to read the TOS. PLEASE tell me he's violated it and we can be done with him.

Good lord, y'all are ridiculous.

It was a mocking of this penny loafer comment...

Even so, it's hardly a racist thing to say, especially since I don't know any Jews so can't harbor any hatred against them. Thanks for playing.

Yes, it was racist. It was disgusting too. Clearly you have your head shoved too far up your ass to realize that.

Leslie Anne 03-26-2008 06:08 AM
bowandtoes,

I've noticed your last two posts in this thread have just been photos. Still trying to master the English language and you're a little unsure of yourself, eh? Hmm...you're in college, right? (or at least pretending to be?)

But you sure can harbor ignorance, which has translated into hatred with the "jewskin" comment.

No, I just find them funny. I'm in the honors college at one of the top 50 universities in the country. Please, tell us what prestigious institution you attend (or pretend) before you try to discredit me.

Schools with honors colleges suck at life.

SWTXBelle 03-26-2008 12:26 PM
I can't believe I'm about to do this, but here goes:

I think Elephant Walk's comment was so OVER THE TOP as to be irony. Was it offensive? Yes.
Was it meant to be taken seriously? I don't think so.
He was obviously building on the earlier loafer comment, taking it to the outrageous level to be humourous.
Kinda like Jonathan Swift and "A Modest Proposal", without the wit.

I think I just defended EW, so now must go hit my head against a wall.

Don't take everything so serious. You'll have a happier life.

Are you serious?

You have to KNOW a Jewish person and HATE Jewish people to make antisemitic comments?

Gone are the days when we could legally sterilize what were once considered the lowest common denominators of society. Thank God. But if we could sterilize idiots who unapologetically have the lowest level of understanding, you'd bypass the wait list.

You can have a happy life without shoving your head up your ass all the time.

DSTRen13 03-26-2008 01:06 PM
I could sit here and come up with all kinds of offensive and racist comments against just about every group known to man; I've written papers on the topic. I don't know any members of some of these groups and have no problems with them (I'm not even sure where I WOULD encounter some of these groups if I were to try to meet them). But I could still type up this crap and spew it all over this message board if for some reason I felt the need, and it would still be rude and offensive regardless of whether I felt any real hatred for the people or not. I'd have to at least feel disrespect and a lack of empathy toward these people I haven't met to type it in the first place ...

macallan25 03-26-2008 01:40 PM
Holy shit you people are sensitive. He wasn't being freaking racist......you people sound like a bunch of prancing nancy Obama supporters.

He was commenting on the post by AlexMack who said that my shoes had to be at least 19th century to be "elitist".

Obviously if I had a pair of jewskin shoes they would be in the neighborhood of 500-700 years old.

nittanyalum 03-26-2008 01:46 PM
They're being jerks just to be jerks. Leave them to wallow in their shallow pools.

Yeah because only Obama supporters wouldn't find "jewskin" the least bit tongue in cheek as a response to an old money jab.

He could have used a better example....sure. I guess if you don't understand the meaning behind "jewskin" it could be taken the wrong way.

If you take it within the context it was used I don't find it "racist", that's all.

Nittanyalum......I'm not being a jerk.....and I'm not shallow. Stuff like that obviously doesn't offend me or get to me like it does others. I understand why it was said.

I wish phikapskulls would come back. This thread was fun.

nittanyalum 03-26-2008 04:35 PM
Mac, come on, you know he used that specific term just to be obnoxious. I highly doubt he really has the historical context himself to in any way support using that word. I appreciate that you tried to diffuse it, but I think you also grasp the reality that there really is no need to use that term in standard discourse. He was most certainly just being a jerk and I wouldn't typically lump you in with his empty crassness, but you got lumped because you defended him. Water seeks its own level and beware, that guy portrays himself as a very shallow pool.

Try 65 years ago. Also their body fat, hair, and teeth. But I should just relax when people make light of this; it's only my immediate family, after all.

If he wanted to convey super old things = elitist, he could have said "made out of dinosaur skin" and not offended anyone. But the fact that "jewskin" is the first thing he thought of....well, you know.

Didn't know that. Took a year long seminar on the Holocaust and the history of Jews. I am definitely aware of the use of hair, fat, and teeth.......didn't know the use of the skin was common practice at that point in time.

I understand you being upset and I am sorry. I was simply saying that I don't think he should have been immediately labeled a racist for using that example.....although it was probably a bad choice.

I AM an Obama supporter, so if you're trying to insult me, try something else.

Little32 03-26-2008 06:04 PM
Yes, and the Nazi's used their skin for lamps among other things.

I think what people find problematic is that his mind went there in the first place.

If that is the first place that your mind goes (just like Mel Gibson with his anti-semetic harangue and Michael Richards with his racist tirade), that is problematic and you might really want to interrogate your ideas because such statements are callous and racist or anti-semetic (especially when said in jest, as though the persecution and torture of others could ever be funny), whether that was the intent or not.

I was kidding. If I wanted to insult you I probably would have singled you out. I didn't.

Good Lord.

There are plenty of Obama supporters that love to call people racists for very silly reasons. I live in Austin.....the most liberal city on the planet......I see it all the time.
