Rumour Patel wants to bring back death penalty

[Zetetic]

Yeah, gentiles get touchy about being called 'goyim'.

What?

[Lordofthefiles]

I like Nicolas Cage and boiled eggs. Am I right-wing?

I bet your favourite film is Face/Oeuf ...you big nazi.

[Kankurette]

What?

I mean gentiles act like it's a really nasty slur on a par with the n-word or something. Which is why I stick with 'gentile' when talking to people I don't know, because I've had the 'goy is a slur' argument more times than I would like.

And no, Jews do not all go round murdering Palestinians.

[chveik]

It's not about thinking we're better than other people.

This is why I hate Burchill, she just reinforces the stereotype that Jews are all rabid Zionists who murder Palestinian babies for fun. I've never even been to Israel and have no intention of going there, and I'm in JFJP, is that enough of a Good Jew card for me to play?

I didn't say you were. just trying to imagine a hypothetical case where it could be a slur.

[Jittlebags]

Who would win in a fist fight? Priti Patel or Liz Truss ?

[evilcommiedictator]

Look the first person to be put to death should be the person who wrote this garbage

[Jittlebags]

Has he paid anyone to duff up a journalist yet?

No one is attacking you.  The Cunt, Julie Burchill, used an IMO unpleasant word to cause pain and division, we don't need to allow her to achieve that.  Let's live in peace.

I do quite enjoy the implication that there's a limited degree of nastiness that you'd be happy to convey to people you don't know.

(This isn't ironic or intended as a wind-up. I appreciate it comes from an uncharitable interpretation of what you've written, and I don't seriously understand it in that way.)

[Poirots BigGarlickyCorpse]

Lads for fuck's sake are we really, in the predominantly Christian British Isles/Continent of Europe, debating the "offensiveness" of a Jewish person using the word "goy"?

Grab a hold of yourselves.

[Zetetic]

For what it's worth, we were apparently discussing it's force in the mouth of someone who's not Jewish, the (predominantly Christian?) Julie Burchill.

Yeah, that's not fair and it's not what I meant. My Jewish friends and I often use 'goy' or 'goyim'. My non-Jewish friends don't think I'm looking down my nose at them and they know I don't hate gentiles. Judaism is not about superiority, despite what Burchill thinks. Nor is it about hating Muslims. What she's doing is dangerous.

Same reason why I wouldn't use 'cunt' in American spaces. And as I said, Burchill isn't Jewish and I doubt she ever will be.

I'm SK8R GOI on another forum[nb]not really, just thought of it[/nb]

[TheBrownBottle]

I like Clint Eastwood and meat pies, which I think makes me even more right wing for you, because they're no. 1 in those categories.

Having said that, liking Richard Littlejohn almost certainly would make someone right wing, amongst other character defects.  You couldn't make it up.

[pigamus]

Fuck Rumour Patel, first the diddakoi thing and now this

[Captain Z]

Under the fabulous, glorious Brexit deal what are brave Boris sorted out, we are still bound by ECHR rules, and one of those human rights is the right to not be murdered by the state. So it's a non-starter.

So, essentially, this means that the Germans have beaten us on death penalties.

[Johnny Yesno]

I'd love for us to be able to ignore Priti Patel but we can't because she's (somehow)Home Secretary. We sure as fuck can ignore Julie fucking Burchill though.

Ignore her! She wants you to be angry because that's how she makes money. Ignore her.

[Kankurette]

I really should know better than to give her attention, I know. It's just a sore point because she's just reinforcing loads of negative stereotypes of Jews and equating Judaism with Israel worship.

[idunnosomename]

this is the most i've heard about Julie Burchill in a good twenty years

I understand, but she'd do it less if nobody took any notice.

[Menu]

She's got a book coming out.

[Kankurette]

Always the case.

[BlodwynPig]

Being a clone I have no flaws to identify
Even this doggerel that pours from my pen
Has just been written by another twenty
Telepathic Julie Burchills

Word for word it says
"Oh, for the wings of any bird other than a
Guardian columnist"

Priti's android replica is playing up again
It's no joke
When she comes she moans another's name
But that's the spirit of the age, that's the
Spirit of the age

Ask yourself, next time you consider using the word, what job it is doing, that's all I ask.  I agree with you wholeheartedly about Burchill, she's an appalling dangerous idiot.

[Buelligan]

Oh, go on then hog, beautiful.

[Lisa Jesusandmarychain]

I like Nicolas Cage and boiled eggs.

The Goons consider rewrite (again).

[Kankurette]

I've been told 'gentile' is problematic and 'non-Jew' is othering so whatever the fuck I call people who aren't Jewish, I can't win.

Burchill has no business using our language as an insult.

[Buelligan]

Maybe we don't need to win?  I dunno.  Consider the moments when we want to talk about non-muslims, non-buddhists, non-christians, surely in those same circumstances a similar dilemma is presented?  It seems pretty easy to use non-whatevs if a distinction really needs to be made.

[pigamus]

Nope
