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...

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.
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.

So it was a joke? And something in your twisted little brain thought referring to penny loafers made out of the skin of dead Jews would be funny? Um...no.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 ...

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.

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.
