Terrorism and tourism
Of course, price is never a Yiddish concern.
"Let's see; we can go here and little risk for $2 or go there for life threatening risk for $1. Oy vey!" Who's got a dollar? Let's go!" I'm not clear what, exactly, a "Yiddish concern" is. Can someone enlighten me? It does seem to me as if there's an intended "message" within the post. I wonder what it's meant to be? Mila |

Was Shakespeare's Shylock an Arab? That there is a very common term used "Jewed out of insert whatever". Shakespeare is the most widely read author in English speaking countries. His works are second only to the Bible in popularity. 90% of American high school students must read some work by Shakespeare, and all British students in high school must read Shakespeare at some point. Funny, WS prolly never met many Jews so then where did he get this Shylock of his? Perhaps you might think these are unkind or antisemitic comments (on my part) but I was not Shakespeare, I do not speak for the history of the usage of these terms, I did not coin them. I don't express that they are accurate in a segregate manner, historically, but I sure can express that they are spot on in my daily life. MOF, I deal with Jews daily on a bartering basis and find them easy to work with. Set your price and refuse to have any dialogue about it. Take it or leave it. Do other races/creeds/sexes/etc - pick one, have common traits? Most assuredly they do. I find men often let ego get in the way of their better business judgments, women their emotions. Japanese are way too hung up about protocols, Chinese way too suspicious of every word, gesture and phrase. I deal with them too and the generalities fit the experiences. You can go about screaming the sky is falling, beating your breasts and howling at the moon about whether these above is anti-X, unfair or inaccurate. It changes nothing. I know what I know. I see and deal wit it everyday. It does seem to me as if there's an intended "message" within the post. I wonder what it's meant to be? Read above. Any further questions, let me now. |

Mila,
The intended message, which I missed because I have my "block sender" back, either conveys the writer's blatant anti-Semitism or is a message from a troll who is trying to attract attention. Either way it should be dismissed as the garbage it is. -- DG in Cherry Hill, NJ "BTC/TAK on ACK" wrote in message ... Of course, price is never a Yiddish concern.

Terrorism and tourism
I am a Jew who has no ability to bargain... must be a mutated gene...
Maybe so... on the other hand, I've encountered an awful lot of folks, in markets around the globe, who have great bargaining abilities, but who don't seem to be Jewish [not that I have any notion how one might figure out who is, or isn't, without asking]. I've always found expressions like ""Jewed out of ..." fairly odious, personally... and not particularly descriptive of the "winners" in "bargaining wars", etc., I've been involved in. "Was Shakespeare's Shylock an Arab?" is an odd question, it seems to me... I'm more interested in the question, though, "was Shakespeare's an anti-Semite?

I have read a considerable amount of and about shakespeare. In the Merchant of Venice, Shylock is a complicated character; but I won't go into that here. However, no one could expect an uneducated, moron like CC, to understand the subtleties of good or bad literature. In terms of the more general issue, I have found that Jewish people are both generous and highly charitable. Actually, it's quite hilarious to note that the typical anti-Semite accuses jews of being both cheap and ostentatious at that same time. This is as much of a contradiction as Hitler accusing us of being both communists and world bankers. CC's stereotypes stem from both her profoundly twisted version of fundamentalist Christianity, and her limited ability to cognitively process her very limited life experiences. In short, the ****wit is no mental sparring competitor for you, I, or most others on RTC. Howie "Odysseus" wrote in message news:C8ppc.53482$iF6.4855028@attbi_s02... In article , says...
