One of the oldest languages still in use.

That's Hebrew, you moron.

I'm pretty sure you meant that as a joke.

I'd hate to think you really are that obtuse.

what a fucking moron you are....do you have any jewish friends in your pathetic life??..

you owe an apology to anyone here who is jewish...

Everybody settle down, I have friends who don't live in California, NY, New England, Chicago, or the eastern midwest who have never met a jew in their lives. Syd, it's true, you guys are dying out (all that intermarriage has watered down the gene pool and remnants, not to mention the atrocity of losing 6 million in a few years to a disgusting ideaology), that's why Jewish females who sell their eggs can score a much higher price. Either way, trust me, Jews aren't everywhere and behind everything as Hitler would have us believe, so aside from your personal beef with Baka, cut him and anyone else who doesn't know the beauty of Hebrew some slack (my wife was the best Hebrew youth cantor in Ohio!). After all, Yom Kippur is not far away and that is all about forgiveness.

Oh, and the transliteration is Rosh Hashanah.

**Shelby07** · 09-23-2006, 10:49 AM

I tend to agree with Sean here. I didn't read anything hateful or sarcastic in Baka's post. I hope there was no malice or sarcasm intended, and I will give the benefit of the doubt that has been raised by Sid. But just as you apologize when you sneeze on someone's neck in a movie theater or step on someone's heels, I think an apology for an unintentional faux pas is in order.

CNB, it's your move.

**BigMacFU** · 09-23-2006, 11:42 PM

Well put Shelby, an apology wouldn't hurt either way.

**dHUTCH** · 09-24-2006, 01:55 AM

I would have had no idea what you were talking about either.....? Does that make me an insensative prick...no. Means I do not have every other religious holiday, not of my religion, memorized. He had no clue what you were saying and was simply inquiring as to its meaning and what language it was. That'd be like someone from another country asking the meaning of our 4th of July and jumping all over them. They did not grow up in this country or in this case, he did not grow up in a Jewish family or have Jewish friends. What I'm trying to say here is, he honestly did not know, and you can't go around jumping on people cause they dont know something.

Ain't it "Rosh Hashhanah"?

I got a rash between my toes though......

Happy New Year Sid.

Having a few Jewish friends I knew. That is the only way I would know as I am not Jewish...I shared a house with a Jewish guy for a year and learned a bit.

I don't know how many Jewish people CNB has around him but there are only about 30 in my city. Some people just do not have a chance to interact with every culture due to their geographical location. Jewish holidays are just not brought to the attention of people in my area due to there being so few of them.

Unintentional ignorance is no crime. It can be overcome by explaining things in a proper manner.

The best to Sid and his brothers sisters in their celebration.

All I did was ask what it meant. How is that insensitive? You're showing your roots Sid. You keep trying to bait me into rolling in the shit. Have a nice day

I don't owe an apology. It's not insenitive not to know things about the Jewish religion. And for the record, I have two people who are Jewish working for me and I hired both of them, so I am not insensitive. It just seems like there is such a rash of bitterness out there that I could say "Have a nice day" and you folks would say I'm being hateful. Have a nice day!!

Prove me wrong. Be the better man...

I am not stirring the shit. It's just that Sid has it in for me and takes ever single opportunity to bash me, so if I respond (which I am trying not to, believe me), then he stirred the shit first.

My guess is the employees didn't tell him. I don't tell my boss everything about what I do outside of work because quite frankly, it's none of the boss's business.

I honestly didn't know it was a major Jewish Holiday this weekend either and none of the calendars I look at have it noted.

Hell, I didn't even know Sid celebrated Hebrew holidays and I even know what his last name is which I doubt many others around here do.

Sid's last name reminds me more of Russian mafia than Hebrew

it's full of consonants and I can't pronounce it to save my life.

I actualy thought it was Sid posting more of his spam...

And maybe therein lies the problem.

I don't believe that CNB was trying to offend anyone at all. In fact, I have seen a noticable effort on his part to temper his posts and, most of all, in his restraint to post replies when he has been slammed lately. He has removed his sig and his avitar tag.

CNB - I believe you have been trying to show restraint and I appreciate it. When I said an apology was in order I wasn't implying that you did anything wrong intentionally, in fact a faux pas is just that, an unintentional social misstep.

Sid, I know you have history with CNB, but it seems he's trying to bury the hatchet, IMO. I don't know what your history is, but if it is because of his political beliefs, well, you know how I feel about that.

DW1 - You've been on the board less than 2 months and already you dislike CNB enough to publically slam him? I don't know if you have a history with CNB, but I'm not sure why you feel the need to stir the pot in this thread. You might dislike him for some reason, but by your own admission you aren't sure whether he did anything wrong here. Why are you jumping on this bandwagon without a reason? Just seems a bit odd to me.

Unfortunately, this thread has degenerated into something it didn't start out as. To my Jewish friends;

May you be inscribed and sealed for a good year.

I agree with Shelby on this point, and not just because he has a hot car!

I am generally all for letting the new guys speak their minds; however, is 2 months really long enough to be the new official poopy stirrer? I don't think so. We've got a lot of seasoned vets on this board who have that covered just fine.
