I’m conservative but have ties to UT from the 70s when my mom went there. 
 

i think the government was very heavy handed and it was an embarrassment to the state, period.  I hope the kids arrested are compensated in some way, but it will never make up for what happened. 
 

I hope people can see how closely this aligns with the second amendment. 
 

I’ve seen people on this board say fuck the second amendment, ban all guns. 
 

there’s no difference in punishing me for what I have because of actions of looney assholes who just want to kill. The same way the students were punished for New York and the order Ivy League schools. 
 

i hope this makes sense. It’s been on my heart since I watched the cameras that have been posted here many times. 
 

we have to support each other. We have to remember how innocent people and students are walking the line of multiple rights being stepped on because of the actions of bad players. 
 

Hookem

I can also go fuck myself and keep my account for burnt ends.

Someone at the Columbia protest has a bright future making DoD slide decks.

There is really weird overlap and interplay between activist speak, HR speak, and biz school process mapping gibberish, I’ve noticed. Total cultural domination by the MBA set.

It’s about the bill of rights. It’s not specifically guns. 
 

but I understand. I’ll save it for a political topic. 
 

thanks for the feed back.

Maybe he's making the point that if a single person had an AR-15, TXDPS would have been too terrified to do anything and camped out for a few hours instead of teakettling the students?

I don’t know if you’re being an asshole or if you’re being genuine. 
 

there’s a lot to that statement you made though. You’ve seen it across the country in the last few years. 
 

the second amendment protects the first. 
 

but really I’m out on this type of conversation here in the DT. I don’t want to get shit out of wack on this board and get things nuked.

I don't know why this term of reference bothers me so. Perhaps its because I'm half Jewish (father's side so not recognized as Jewish by ethnic/religious Jews).  But when people refer to Jewish people (as in, the adjective use of the term) as "Jew" rather than "Jewish", it comes across as anti-Semitic to me (e.g., "I have a Jew lawyer" instead of "my lawyer is Jewish"), or at the very least ignorant.  It carries the same derogatory connotation as when people refer to the "Democrat" Party instead of the "Democratic" Party.

Anyway, just thought I'd put that out there.

Apropos of nothing, agreed.  Jew feels pejorative.  It's not quite the same, but it's like c*nt feels more pejorative than the other anatomical labels.  Something linguistic about it that @RDCanecutter can explain, maybe.

That's insane.  The usual Karen at least requires some sort of unpleasant or high-tension episode to "speak to the manager."  This bitch just walks up on people and starts making shit up.

Louis C.K. has the best explanation of the terminology differentiator of Jew(s) than any Jewish person I know.  And I'm part Jewish.  

I wouldn't compare it with "cunt" though.  Brits, and other Europeans, throw it around and it's nowhere near as offensive to women as it is here in the U.S.  Just like some of our cuss words are woefully more offensive to them than they are to us.  

Most Jewish folks I know will self-identify as "I'm a Jew." rather than "I'm Jewish."  But I know lots that use them interchangeably.  And when referring to other members of the ethnicity, it's more often than not, at least here in the U.S., "The Jewish people this", "the Jewish population that."  But then go back to referring to just themselves "As a Jew...I think xyz."  It's mostly the same in Europe particularly among Sephardic Jews of which I am part.  Ashkenazis and Eastern European/Russian folks typically, at least in my little experience will use "Jewish" more than "Jew."  YMMV

The one thing you don't do, as I have to politely remind my in-laws of, is you never, ever use "Jew" as a fucking verb.  I have no fucking idea how that's still a thing.

She should be charged with making a false report.
And as she accused the people around her of criminal conduct, they could also support a defamation claim.

Perhaps you missed the point of my my post. When used as a noun, Jew is fine. When used as an adjective, “my Jew lawyer”, not fine.

Gotcha.  I read fast and miss details.  Absolutely as an adjective, and to your point and my other point, even grossly more offensive when used as a verb.  As in "I jewed him down on price at the garage sale."  

It speaks to that enigma that Louis C.K. describes.  There's a lot of races/ethnicities/nationalities that will get used by assholes as an adjective, "My Black friend", "My Muslim Co-Worker", "So this Mexican guy is speaking Mexican in front of me at 7-11 by this Indian guy."  But, at least here in the U.S. (I plead ignorance on most of the rest of the planet), you only hear "Jew" used as a verb and not really any other races/ethnicities.  I'm sure there are anecdotal exceptions but I've never heard, and I've been around a very big portion of this melting pot of ours, "So he Islam'd his way out of another meeting" or "Of course he Pole'd his way into a promotion" or "She El Salvador'd herself down on price."  

And the crazy part is 99% of the people that use "Jew" as an adjective/verb don't even know any.  Not saying it'd be right, but if there was some experience you had with a Jewish person and you walked away feeling like they were all bad/greedy.  Not right, but I see the bullshit 'logic.'  But hell, my in-laws use it as a verb.  And the only Jewish person they've ever met is me.  And I'm only 1/4.  It was less than ten years ago, they finally learned Jesus was raised as a practicing Jew.  From me.  But they still "Gotta Jew 'em down on interest rates at the bank there..."  I still don't get how that's still a thing after all these centuries.  

I mean, don't me wrong, I got 'Nepal'eased' by this coin dealer when I was living in South Florida.

I had a Jewish girlfriend. Seems like the adjective is fine here.

You had a Jew girlfriend?  It’s using “Jew” as an adjective (instead of “Jewish”) that is the issue.

“I had a girlfriend who is Jewish”. This phrasing should be used more often when the topic is sensitive and the adjective is not in person forward language. E.g. I have a “patient with obesity” rather than “the obese patient.”

My whole point is that the word “Jew” is a noun, not an adjective. Using it as an adjective in place of the actual adjective term, “Jewish”, is pejorative, regardless of where it is placed in a sentence.

Oh Law, please don't drag my redneck ass into it. :) I've only been Jewish twice, when dealing with other rednecks who were mumbling something anti-semitic. It was a lie, but it helped fuck with rednecks so I'd do it again. Linguistically, all I have to add is, why isn't it called Anti-Shemetic? Sheems a bit like a shimple shibboleth.

Does this mean I can't saw "jewbies" anymore? Should I say "breasts of Jewish heritage"?

I was out with some mutual friends after a Moontower Comedy show years ago.  And Rachel Feinstein was there and hammered drunk.  And wearing this revealing dress (if you know her standup, she's pretty cute with a great figure).  And she was cracking up at something another comic said while trying to spit out her drink so she's rocking her head back and forth and for a split second, one her tits popped mostly out. and it was fantastic.  And the other guy, without skipping a beat, Shakes some mint box or tic-tacs (obviously not the candy by the same name, but he was johnny on the spot with the joke) and says "Hey Rache, nice juju-bees", and she actually spit the drink out.  I nearly ejaculated and pissed myself at the same time.  /csb

what were we talking about!  CEASE FIRE!

Not to threadjack, but this is silly. 
 

You never say diabetic patient? Cardiac patient? Anemic patient? 
 

Why tiptoe around it? 
 

Besides, I prefer HEB+

 

It changes the emphasis. You wouldn't say the priapism patient, you would say the person with the dick problem.

reminds me of a Bill Burr bit...something about knowing to put the adjective in the right place...

When I compared it with cunt, I was referring to its linguistics, not it's meaning.  One-syllable word with a hard consonant to begin.  There's something about just saying it that makes it feel  . . . dirty or something.  Same with cunt.
