Sisyphus Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 So is this thread now "Random People We Have Known?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecoli Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 So is this thread now "Random People We Have Known?" I though that's what it already was, except just not entirely random. But, hey, if you really want, I'll start listing all the Jewish people that I know. I'll warn you the list probably has a couple of hundred people on it. And after that, we can start making lists with different requirements. Like people we know with beards, or blondes that we know, or people we know that like chocolate... let's not be exclusive here.

mooeypoo Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 How 'bout all the gays we know? Then we can combine. All the people who have beards and are gay, or all the blondes that have beards, or all the Jews that are gays. It'll be fun. Wooh. ~moo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisyphus Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 As far as I'm aware, I only know one blonde, gay jew with a beard, so that won't be a very interesting list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooeypoo Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 It's okay, Sisyphus, this debate, obviously, is not looking to be interresting. I am still waiting to hear it's point. And the other one's point. ~moo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHAQ Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Why ?? My first stepfather was Jewish ( no one else in my family was ) . He was very good to my brother & myself until he had a catastrophic psychotic breakdown in late middle age . Highly intelligent & successeful businessman but a brooding introspective man obsessed with psychoanalysis (in late 1940's ,before the days of psychotropic medications ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecoli Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Several off-topic posts have been removed. That's what tends to happen when you have a pointless topic. I know Rebui's stated goal is 'humanize' these people. On the contrary, it's just demeaning them to a list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebiu Posted September 5, 2006 Author Share Posted September 5, 2006 There was older Jewish man. He had kind of a condescending way of talking down to people. I do not know if it was deliberate but he always sounded like he was lecturing. He was okay, I guess, if you could stand to hear him talk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooeypoo Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I am trying to figure out if this should be read as "He was okay, even though he was jewish" or "ha, see, he was condescending jew". Concidering there seems to be no OTHER point to this thread, I would seriously want to know what you meant. In the name of debate, of course. And to the point. And on the topic. A bit of clarification, Rebiu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedAlert Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Hmm, I know a lot of Jews too, most of them are about my age (16-17) and are very nice people. Why is this thread "demeaning"....again, he just wants to know all the Jewish people you know, and how they were like. What's wrong with that? Maybe he'd like to see if Jews really fit in with the general belief of being super rich war mongering mega geniuses who want to rule the world and cheat god. That's what most people who don't know (but strongly believe they do know jews) Jews describe them as. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
