Tottenham Hotspur, a north London-based club, are known for having a large number of Jewish supporters.

This fight is a tough one for the A-series processors, and becomes tougher as the price increases. The speed this little fella' can keep up is really impressive.

my neighbor's mother makes $75 hourly on the internet. She has been out of a job for seven months but last month her check was $17185 just working on the internet for a few hours. more tips here.....http://x.co/2MvnS
If the people of the world are becoming so sensitive to "offensive" words it certainly shows we are taking ourselves a little too seriously. While I can call you an underachieving, overpaid, cheating, stupid, overweight, or "whatever religion or nationality", you are, but not a "Yid" or other so-called made up derogatory name. This is friggin stupid. I have never heard a Jewish person complain of being called Yiddish or a "Jew".
Maybe Goy Army was taken?
If it wasn't for me that oil well in the Gulf would still be leaking. I was the one who suggested to BP that they plug it with a week's worth of John McCain's soiled grampy diapers. It worked. Then BP offered me a six figure job but I turned it down.
How the heck did Jesus find guys named Peter, John, James, Matthew, Andrew, Philip, Thomas and Simon in the Middle East???
Think about it.
Yeah, not an Ahmed in sight.
When translated into English, those are the names. That's not how Jesus pronounced them.
If you read the New Testament in Greek, it would be much different. These are the Anglicized (sp?) versions of their names.
How thin skinned are people these days?
Well, they call us taffs and we wipe the field with them. So what?
When I was a yid, I played with childish toys. But when I became a man, I put down what a yid plays with.
There has also been rampant misuse of the term bubble and squeak.
And spotted dick.
Bravo. (Golf clap)
And the solution???
Grow up and relegate religions to the myth pile where they belong!!!
I suspect this word has more ethnic overtones than it does religious ones.
People can be (and are) offensive over more than just religious issues.
Don't confuse #2 with facts.
Followers of Judaism are unique in that they can be ethnic Jews, not all followers are. The Judaism is the part that needs to be put on the myth pile.
Would the word be any less offensive to the Jews you personally approve of? Your contempt is noted, and dismissed as boring boorish behavior.
Being of Jewish descent, I am not offended.
