This man needs to be banged up

[Notch7]

Yes, I do.

There are many degrees and mine, though I would by no means say mild, is nearer that end of the scale.

Amongst the biggest struggles I face are my right hand side is much weaker than my left, I have difficulty walking, have very poor balance and I am very clumsy and drop or spill things all the time.

My sister in law has it.

she is 46 and in the last year or so her ability to walk (which needs a walker) is getting worse and worse -she gets stressed and the messages stop getting to her legs and she freezes.

Its quite a worry because she is almost at the point where she needs a wheelchair.

As far as I know its not degenerative, but it does seem mobility gets worse in later life -have you experienced the same?

In your opinion only despite having presented overwhelming evidence to you to the contrary.
You base your belief on a newspaper, a paper that presents itself as positing new ideas, but in reality posits old, Victorian ideology.

These definition closely resembles all definitions:

Jew
[ joo ]
noun

1. one of a scattered group of people that traces its descent from the Biblical Hebrews or from postexilic adherents of Judaism; Israelite.
2. a person whose religion is Judaism.
3. a subject of the ancient kingdom of Judah.

Jews or Jewish people are an ethnoreligious group and a nation, originating from the Israelites and Hebrews of historical Israel and Judah. Jewish ethnicity, nationhood, and religion are strongly interrelated
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews​

The problem with that definition is that modern Jews have very little connection with the ancient people of Israel.
The vast majority of todays jews are of European descent.
You also have Chinese jews who unsurprisingly look Chinese, you have Indian cochin jews who look like their fellow Indians, you have the black Falasha and Lemba jews who tend to look like their fellow blacks.
So the claim of direct descent from an ancient people doesn't seem plausible and maybe should be amended.
I hope what i have written above doesn't sound antisemitic, just pointing out a few anomalies to the accepted story which has been used to justify the confiscation of other people's property.

Of course it doesn't. You did not mention Semitic. A bit like the rapper.

As you say, a lot of Jews are less Semitic than Prince Archie is black.

 

[EFLImpudence]

Strange that Bobby is quoting Biblical references when he does not like Victorian definitions.

 

[Bodgedbuild]

Please show where in the rapper's tweets he mentioned Semites or Semitism.

He both posted video and tweeted rather a lot, his manner was extremely antagonistic and he compared Jews to The KKK which is particularly offensive to Jewish people as The KKK targeted Jewish as well as Black people and other groups. His remarks are antisemitic in most peoples definition but I'd rather not continue an argument on what type of discrimination it is, do't see the point. Even though I said people need to loosen up a tad and I do find light hearted jokes funny (maybe I shouldn't), he meant to cause offence or upset. To make matters worse he is something of a figurehead to rather a lot of people his outbursts may cause further to cause hatred or division.

 

[Bodd]

He does talk a lot of sense that guy.(SBC)

Is sthat because he is black?

 

[Bodd]

you my friend are living proof.

That's not very nice. Do you feel good?

 

[Bodd]

The clue is in the joke:
Why would he punch you for no reason?

It could have misinterpreted my Essex accent or could have been his poor grasp of the English language

 

[Vinty]

If you address someone as 'Jew', it's a racial slur. If you refer to someone as a 'Jew' it is not a racial slur*. So the word in itself is not a racial slur, it's the application and context of the word that determines its meaning.
Similarly, to address a black person as 'black***', or whatever racist concoction you could think of, is obviously a racial slur. But to describe a black person as 'black' is not a racial slur.
Anyone would see that from one stranger to another, at a bus stop, would not know the ethnoreligious status of the other, and to address a stranger as 'jew' is obviously a racial slur.
Therefore it's safe to assume it's a racial slur in the joke.

*Edit: referring to someone by their ethnoreligious status, when you know their name or position is a racial slur.
Taking a parallel example, if you know the name of the office manager, as Tom, and he's BAME or disabled, and you refer to him as such, when in discussion with others who also know his name, it would be a racial slur.

Everything you have said could be correct, on the other hand the joke about the bloke at the bus stop is probably based on the fact that two words, Due and jew, sound the same, nothing at all to do with race or religion.

He's probably written an album about salvation or summat, and needed to lay down a pretext to its release.

Yup, in some industries, creating a controversy gets you places, in others it gets you sacked..

SBC...funny shade of black!..but no..his colour is irrelavant Bodd.

That's what I say, every time he says it...... I don't know why... As he can't hear me..

I do like him.... Not as much as his wife.

So, he didn't mention Semitic people, then; just members of a religion.

They are, hence all the cries of racism.

I'll just quote a .Gov website, it has a full definition of what term is considered appropriate for the "situation referred to in this thread" but like I said call it whatever you want......
