Revisionist history.

In addition to the Jews, Hitler killed off an equal number of Poles,
Lithuanians, Russian POWs, Romanians and other slavs, plus gays, the
mentally retarded, Jehovah's Witnesses and political dissidents.

The Jews, in marketing the holocaust, generally ignore the other 6
million slaughtered, although they all ended up in the same ovens.

Or "Ferengi down"...

Ever notice the names of the actors who play the Ferengis on Star Trek?
Kind of using stereotypes it seems...

I don't have any lineage to Russian Jews, but, just like you, I do have
lineage, in an unbroken chain, to the Jews of biblical times. Jesus was a
Jew.

It's not a race, but, otherwise, you're right again. The point still holds,
however, that using the term "Jew down," while offensive to some, does not
rise to the same level as ethnic terms deliberately used in an offensive and
derrogatory manner, and you know it.

None of us, which puts us firmly on the moral high ground. Thanks for making
my point.

So you're saying you're a direct descendant of Jesus?

That would explain a lot.

Because that's not all it is. It's an ethnicity as much as any other
ethnicity you can point to, because of the unbroken blood line that
probably runs in 95% of people calling themselves Jewish.

It's not a term of offense. Check the dictionary.

Matrilineal. Is your mother Jewish?

Using the term "Jew down" rises to the same level as ethnic terms
deliberately used in an offensive and derogatory manner because it is
an ethnic term used in an offensive and derogatory manner. It's the
same exact thing. How could it possibly be different?

With only a couple exceptions, Lee and Scott so noted (and maybe
Grumman and Popeye too) (and maybe even Joe English and Bob
Crownfield, but probably not Dennis and definitely not Chris), I don't
really believe that all those I label "gun nuts" are truly insane or
psychotic, but merely foolish and silly.

Chris:
So, does that mean that you don't label me a gun nut, or just that you think
I'm foolish and/or silly and/or eccentric?

It's not a term of offense. Check the dictionary.

------------------
Chris:
Out of curiosity, I just did (dictionary.com). According to the American
Heritage Dictionary, it is offensive. The other entires either list it as
"Often disparaging" (unabridged dictionary.com v1.1) or don't give any
indication one way or the other (online etymology dictionary, wordnet).

Of course, I always heard the phrase as "jaw" down as in "talk" down.
