You are confusing philosophers with readers of self-help books which tell them they can become what they are incapable of becoming but, undeterred ,they buy more self-help books and hand-crafted cracker barrels to sit on while reading.

That, to me, is the epitome of self absortion.

There is indeed, but you must read a few set books on positive thinking. Thgen you will feel good about yoursels, whatever yu do. You might also like to rad the following.

A New Dawn every day, or how to get laid by women called Dawn

Sleep your way to a higher IQ

Help yourself ! The thief's handbook.

My Dog Taught ME To Pray.... a guide for the pious

Calories Don't Count So Eat and Grow Slim

Do you realize I have power now?
"Power", you know, that transcendent quality kept alive by that one ignoramus who has made 'fighting the system', in this case Gendanken, a cause.

Right here.

Been suffocating on mucus for about two weeks, due to illness, and my back muscles are currently as weak as your ranting.

For your info: I've watched more television than I've ever watched in my life; can quote Cartman and, by god, I love Family Guy. There is about an inch of fat that has congealed round the circumference of my brain - its made reading difficult, writing tedious, and my ability to sit here and remember who the hell any of you are almost as annoying as knowing I'm missing the first 21 minutes of Ghost Hunters.

I'm missing Ghost Hunters for you cocksuckers. Ghost Hunters.

And so, if you will excuse me, I have an intellecutual obesity to thin; a year's worth of Top Chef, Forensic Files, Unbeatable Benzuke, Nija warrior, Ghost Hunters (Jason's hawt) and, yes I'll admit, Warcraft has clogged the arteries and must be purged.

Well, I don't exactly feast much these days. Both due to time constraints and also due to menu (although there are, from time to time, tasty appetizers).

I know there is a lot we don't agree on. but I support you 100% on this. I noticed gedanken's nazi-type remarks about "the" Jew. I found it deeply offensive and concluded she was sick . Only a redneck would use such language.

As far as that young girl is concerned, if I could contact her father if would ,to acquaint him with what is being said here. We are dealing with vulgar low-lifes.

SAM sees no problem with using the c word. Shi is not fit to move in polite society.she probably doesn't anyway.

She champions people in the ME, so it would be interesting to see her explain why calling them Wogs is not offensive. Then she could move on to Pakis and Ns.

Is the use of foul language, racial hatred and blind prejudice part of the job specification for moderators ?

Is the use of foul language, racial hatred and blind prejudice part of the job specification for moderators ?

Here's some some homework for you, little boy.

Why not go back to that thread and find one, single instance of me being what you deem a racist.
When you are done, you will write a thesis on how placing the definite article 'the' in front of the ethnic group 'Jew' to procure the sibilant charm of The Jew is anti-Semitic.

I knew a Willy Epstein, maybe that's who she's talking about. The Gendbeast should be given special permission to say what she wants, she really knows how to do it creatively.

SAM, do you really think it's OK to refer to 'the willy Jew'?
And if she meant something other than the racist 'wily' Jew, perhaps she'll mention it.
Do you think its a good thing for a moderator not to know the sordid history of using the definite article before racial and religious groups?

Realistically, most people have a bias one way or another.
Many people try to cover up this bias by pretending to be neutral - but of course the bias surfaces sooner or later.

What is better: A person pretending to be neutral, or a person clearly stating their position (even if that position might be unpalatable to some)?

I am not yet defending or condemning Gendanken's use of the The. I do prefer an honest expression of one's position over pretended neutrality. This way one at least knows what one is up against.

I don't know what sort of education ,if any, you have had but the use of the singular to describe a number of people as you did is offensive., i.e., the Jew owns Hollywood. I will allow the possibility that you are so ignorant as not to know the difference between singular and plural but, if you deliberately used the singular you did so with the intention of being offensive. So, on either count you are ignorant, which is the best that can be said for you.

As most people know, the Jew ,as you used it suggests that a group of people have some unpleasant characteristic in common. You had the choice of saying "Jews own Hollywood" if that was what you wanted to say.

The choice is your. You can admit to being ignorant or being a racist ,which subsumes racism and bigotry.Your use of "sibilant" charm" inclines me to the latter view

With reference to that young girl, you have shown you are a disgusting, foul-mouthed person. There is nothing I can usefully say to you on this topic as you are clearly following your natural bent.

What on earth are you talking about , Statements that the wily Jew owns Hollywood has no bearing on the quality of its output, which is a subjective judgemeny anyway.

What sort of preparation does it take to prepare oneself for talk of raping young girls C, with a cactus , for esxample ? Perhaps a mind-numbing substance is the answer. An alternative would be to get moderators with some degree of dignity and self-respect, thus making preparation unnecessary.

So is this what's become of the forums?

An old woman slowly crawling her way through an intersection?
It used to be long ago that this place was a young, naughty boy obsessed with the universe and his penis. It was alive, filled with the noise of pubesence and little girls squealing about not being "like that" while the aged and the aging sat on the benches, mourning a limp member dusty with years of neglect.

This place used to shun that old man, sitting there on the bench with his mouth drooling regretting his age. And now the bitch is all grown up, no longer fast enough to flash him her panties and smart enough to get him in trouble for it. She's the granny simply crossing a street now.

Must decay be the fate of all things?
Sophistication and Tact- behold the holy grails of maturity. Those are what that old man likes to slip in your kool aid so that you can grow up to drink milk and end up just like him. The impulse of youth, the lightning strokes of its creative fertility, its desires, needs, and joys are swallowed up year by year in the milky white boredom of his Sophistication and Tact. The nerve of the world to mislable decay for maturity.

And now I come back to find the forums as mature as spoiled milk.


Don't get me wrong, this place has never been nor will be anything more than kill time but its no longer as fun to slaughter one's hours here anymore.

Hmmmmmmmm I wonder what orleander would think if she said that to her daughter! Because Lucifer has a daughter about the same age and was pretty disgusted.

What is it with you and this obsession you have with Orleander? She's put you on ignore. You were advised to do the same thing. Hell, you were even warned about your constant baiting and attacks against her. But you can't help yourself and now you're bringing her children into it?

No............it is about parents that have kids that age. For a parent with kids that age it is just disgusting that someone would even joke about RAPING THEM!
If a male member (not mod) of this forum had suggested such vulgarity towards this kid, I am sure they would have been banned!!

BTW: Why the hell is DR LOU banned? He is no worse than your newest Mod.
You are assuming "she" is actually 14 years of age. For all you know, "she" could be a 50 year old man typing while naked.

You do realise there is a proper way to complain about moderator behaviour, don't you? So why do you and others keep ignoring it... I mean it's not as if you haven't been told enough, now is it?

( she is right though, because even though I can be catty, I could not sink to the level of Vulgar Foul Filth that comes
out of her mouth. )

Before you open your mouth maybe you should do some more reading around here.

Really, how amusing? I don't think you could quote anything quite as bad as raping a 14 yr old....And for the record, do you know for a fact that she is indeed a 50yr old man and not a 14 yr old girl? Until you have that proof don't you think you should treat her/him as a child?

Shit has anybody ever seen you? You could be some 50 yr old man typing naked, coming up with stories about how your family was threatened by someone her on the forums. Maybe that was you just creating drama huh?

As for Orleanders rant above all I can say is more " I am so innocent" Bullshit!! Shall we bring up the provoking PMs from her again, the lying of editing my posts, conspiring with sandy to purposely piss me off and being too stupid to actually mail the PM to Sandy instead of me......etc etc

What do you think shorty? Actually, nevermind, I wouldn't want you to over exert yourself.

Tell me, how do you think we should treat "a 14 year old girl" who makes comments such as the following?

"I am like.... the forbidden apple. Say one wrong word, or look at it in the wrong way; much less BITE it... and you got 5 years and jail!!"

I could very well be a 50 year old man sitting butt naked at my computer. That's the thing, you just don't know. For all we know you and your other half could be old lesbian lovers who decided to have some fun with other people's photos.:) As they say, it's the internet, we are all really faceless individuals. People post photos on here and how do you actually know it is their own photo and not someone else?

As for Orleanders rant above all I can say is more " I am so innocent" Bullshit!! Shall we bring up the provoking PMs from her again, the lying of editing my posts, conspiring with sandy to purposely piss me off and being too stupid to actually mail the PM to Sandy instead of me......etc etc

Sarcasm is lost on you, isn't it?

I'd suggest you re-read her post and do so with your brain switched ON this time. As has been said before, Orleander was far from innocent, but she was adult enough to put you on ignore at the request of the administration and other moderators. You, on the other hand have yet to follow that advice. Why?

Oh yes we do know how to report things to mods the proper way. But nobody seems to get anywhere that route. So it's kinda pointless to do things the proper way.

I don't know what sort of education ,if any, you have had but the use of the singular to describe a number of people as you did is offensive., i.e., the Jew owns Hollywood.
Then all Spanish speakers hate Jews.

Spanish speakers, when speaking of any noun, are required to use the definitive article ‘el’ or ‘la’ or the indefinite articles ‘un’ or ‘unos’ in order to assign gender to noun. French speakers are required to do the same.

Julio says 'el judio' and, per your logic, he's a racist. For that matter he also hates tables, chairs, puppies, tampons, and pandas.

Furthermore, Larry Harlow, an American musician who is also a Jew:

His mother was an opera singer with the stage name Rose Sherman in New York. His father was the bandleader at the Latin Quarter nightclub in New York under the name Buddy Harlowe. The young Harlow, is affectionately nicknamed el Judio Maravilloso (The Marvelous Jew).
is a self-loathing mascochist per your logic.
Source (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Harlow_%28musician%29)
He refers to himself as The Marvelous Jew.

Or is slipping an adjective between 'the' and 'Jew' cancel the anti-semitism in your muddy deconstructions?

Nope. They don't all say 'the Jew', let alone, 'the willy Jew'. Or are you saying the definite form is the same in both languages. Oops, oddly enough whole languages hang together and are not so easy to translate in little pairs like that. Besides, one would have a hope that a moderator would be savvy about the historical uses of the definitive form by racists when referring to races in the language they are moderating in.

And this 'The Marvelous Jew' defense is even weaker.

He is using the definitive to refer to one Jew. Himself. He is not summing up a racial character. He's also being positive about that one Jewish person. Toss in some irony and the non-political context
and

I appreciate your criticism.

However, I am inclined to think that it's not her doing that she is/was so popular.

The way she speaks does at least this:

1. Pushes many people's buttons so they get rather emotional around her - and then as they try to remedy the emotional, they tend to fall into pity, patronizing, denial - all of these attaching them to the notion of Gendanken, talking about her. It's a negative attachment, but negative publicity is still publicity.

2. Addresses many people doubts, insecurities, grey zones, things they would rather hide from others and even from themselves. People tend to automatically develop a love-hate attachment to such people, which can result in a lot of talking.

3. She comes across as sexually aggressive. The attention of many men, and some women, both positive and negative attention, is thereby secured.


Were it not for other people's various desires, doubts, insecurities - would she (or anyone, for that matter) still be popular? I say no.
So if she doesn't live up to her popularity, she can hardly be blamed for that.

A while back, David Beckham was involved in some minor scandal or something, it was nothing unusual or big.
The reaction of some of his fans was: You betrayed us! You are not the David Beckham you are supposed to be!

But there is, of course, the issue of responsibility of those in the social position of high popularity. Something to look into.

When I saw that Gendanken is moderating this forum it was enough to make me dust off my password.
The thing some people here aren't getting is this - Gendanken's SOCIAL imperative as mod, i.e. to make the forum safe, is admittedly a little like handing the war on terror over to a terroist, george bush style. But hopefully we are adult enough to handle that.
Her INTELLECTUAL imperative, however, is to help nurture a community of thought. And handing her that role seems quite appropriate.
Just depends on how you look at it.

That having been said, please let me know if any discussions of any depth are taking place in this biiaatch.

Re: gendanken talking about jews - most strong intellects have terrible weaknesses of some sort, due to an imbalance of perspective or experience of real-life situations, so if she is racist, that would be one of hers.
If that rant was truly racist and not just a literary gimmick Gendanken happened to grab for shock value etc., I will have to put that on my infinitely long list of why the world is such a twisted mess... which reminds me of something my grandmother used to say about my brother "he is like the devil - all the good things he does with his hands get wiped away with his tail when he turns around."

You are not the David Beckham you are supposed to be!I read a review of Eartha Kitt the other day from The Times Online:Eartha Kitt returned to live in Europe after she offended President Johnson’s wife, Lady Bird, with her antiVietnam War sentiments. Kitt, who had recently beguiled audiences with her vampy Catwoman on the TV series of Batman, was invited to a formal White House lunch on juvenile delinquency in 1968. When the First Lady asked her why American youth were so disaffected, Kitt replied: “You send the best of this country off to be shot and maimed. No wonder the kids rebel and take pot.” Mrs Johnson was falsely reported to have broken down in tears. Kitt was effectively blacklisted from working in the United States. Years later, she got her CIA file and found it described her as “a sadistic nymphomaniac with a vile tongue”.Hilariously ridiculous that people will invent exaggerated criticisms of people by such terminable methods—over what?

Welcome back, by the way.

And, for any interested, Cole started out a bit uptight about Gendanken's nastiness as well, if I recall correctly.

Heh.
So did I, for that matter.
It does take a certain type of person to go beyond their initial, "What a twat!" assessment and get to the meat and subtext behind the polemic.


Greenberg,

Obvious? Yeah.
You basically said, "Nobody would be interested in her if we were as uncomprehending and nonperceiving as bricks in the wall..."

We're human and thus we have likes, dislikes, feelings, passions, biases, etc.

In other words, we're all steeped in the 'human condition' (a term I've noticed you bandying about lately, must be from a thread?)

Correction: Nobody would be interested in anybody or anything if we wouldn't have desires, fears, insecurities etc.

I haven't said that desires etc. are bad.
But pretending as if one wouldn't be lead by them -as some complainers here have tried to do- I think that is not something that should pass freely on a philosophy forum.
Although those people probably are not reading this.

I don't know where I picked it up, probably at school.


Most people seem to not be so much interested in solutions as blame. Personal responsibility is, in general, anathema.

I've been thinking lately though that blaming and other behaviors that are traditionally considered as inappropriate and lowly, might be an evolutionary advantage, something that helps one win in the "survival of the fittest" - and that those of us holding on to traditional values and morals are going to get wiped out.

I love the ecstacy of you rolling around in that phrase, "willy Jew."
Like a zealous dog who's just found some pig shit...

Nope. They don't all say 'the Jew', let alone, 'the willy Jew'
Yes they do.
Even ill-educated Maria will never say "Judio" on its own, it doesn't make sense; she will either specify the Jew or a Jew depending on the singularity or plurality of the noun.

The Latin noun is grammatically bound to either a definitive or indefinite article- all Spanish speakers, for example, do not have the luxury of dropping articles of speech like 'the'. In English we can say we are going home or we are going to school, in place of the house or the school, but the Spaniard and the Cuban cannot; they are grammatically bound to assign gender and article:

We are going to either the or a school, vamos a la or una fiesta, and never vamos a escuela or a fiesta.

Why do I even further this point, other than the annoyance of your ignorant proclamations on a language you know nothing about? Because the logical conclusion of your argument would make anyone that places the definitive ‘the’ in front of a race or ethnic group a racist.

Or should I read you back to you?

You have yet to formalize any argument other than the mass appeal to what is 'obvious', that's childsplay.
Give me some meat, some data, information, input besides what you so obviously state is obvious about the use of 'the' in the obvious history of racism; anything outside a personal disdain for the 'the' before 'Jew'.

I'm not sure about the psychological/philosophical motivation behind such uses when the singular form of a noun is used to denote something that occurs or can occur in plural.
But suffice to say that this sort of use of singular forms is common and it tends to be connected with stereotypes, positive and negative stereotypes.

If anything, what is offensive about the phrase "the Jew" is that it points to a stereotype, and one that tends to be perceived as a negative one at that.
Nobody bitches about the lion being bigger than the leopard, or the oak being a resilient tree, or the Massai being a warrior - and they all come in plural numbers.
But say -or imply- something about being stingy, anally punctual and some such that upsets a particular social psyche, and you have usually crossed the common line of decency.

Even ill-educated Maria will never say "Judio" on its own, it doesn't make sense; she will either specify the Jew or a Jew depending on the singularity or plurality of the noun. No, you missed the obvious. They say it in Spanish. I am bilingual in another language that uses the definitive in similar ways, but, not oddly enough, it does not have the same feel as the definitive form in English. However even in this language and Spanish using the definitive form AND refering to the character of a race, especially in negative terms, but even often in positive terms, is racist.

Why do I even further this point, other than the annoyance of your ignorant proclamations on a language you know nothing about? Because the logical conclusion of your argument would make anyone that places the definitive ‘the’ in front of a race or ethnic group a racist. In a context where they are describing what all the members do or are like, yes. And you missed the obvious in what I meant. They say it in Spanish.

You have yet to formalize any argument other than the mass appeal to what is 'obvious', that's childsplay.
Sure, I think referring to a race as 'willy' is poor spelling and racist. If you meant some other word feel free to let me know.

The difference between The African American and An African American is what exactly and says who other than you? If you really cannot see how referring negatively to all members of a racial or religious group using the definitive form is racist as if they all were one an the same character or performing the same actions - see your own posts for the two clear examples - you are either playing the coquette or just don't ever want to back down and perhaps spoil the gendanken myth.

I am confused about what is negative about having an influence over Hollywood. If it's so negative, then you'd think the jew would not want it so bad.

The problematic sentence was
(1) The Jew owns Hollywood.

If it was said
(2) The Jews own Hollywood.
this would be factual and relatively neutral (relatively - because it's a generalization, as Hollywood isn't owned 100% by Jews, but probably some 60% or so - hard to measure precisely).
Just as it could be factual and relatively neutral to say
(3) A Jew owns Hollyood.

Sentence (3) is the singular to sentence (2); while sentence (1) cannot be adequately put into plural.


It's using the singular and the definitive article that invokes the negative stereotype.

Actually the sentence was:
"The financial, artistic, and last but not least political grip that the Jew has on Hollywood."

Now. That sentence doesn't mean that the Jew necessarily is doing this on purpose. People are fascinated by the Jew and the Holocaust as is evidenced by the hysterics prompted by Gendanken's post. The Jew could be a completely innocent bystander in the whole affair as far as that sentence is concerned.

It's interesting that no one actually seems to remember her precise words.

And let's not forget
'the willy Jew'
which given the history of racist characterizations of Jewish people I took as the wily. Of course this may not have been the intention. Perhaps it was not a misspelling of wily but a coinage or a reference to circumsized penises.

Adding an adjective ties up in a bow.

Which Jew was she referring to?

How do you feel about her use of 'the willy Jew'?
