Re: Jews(dard)
The problem with the word "Jew" is that it has at least two distinct meanings. People make fun of religion but then they stop at Jews because they think they are being racist - they don't seem to realise that giving two concepts the same word doesn't make them the same thing! Anyway, which Jews are you on about?

Re: Jews(dard)
None of the above. Stereotyping serves me no purpose. There are brilliant Jews, there are twattish Jews. There are brilliant Christians, there are twattish Christians. Just as there are brilliant whites and twattish whites, brilliant blacks and twattish blacks, brilliant Frenchmen and twattish Frenchmen, brilliant Brazillians and twattish Brazillians, ad infinitum.

Re: Jews(dard)
I like Maureen Lipman and I like the plays of her late husband, Jack Rosenthal.
I like the song in 'Spamalot' saying you can't make a musical if you don't have Jews
Likethe dishes on a Harvester menu, there wasn't really an option in the poll I fancied.
Not even a side order of lox (on a bagel).

Re: Jews(dard)
Religious jews tend to be very keen on promoting this blurring of the two meanings, quelle surprise. And the religion is utterly bonkers. If you don't know about the tenets and practices of judaism, check out http://www.jewfaq.org/. Seriously...

Re: Jews(dard)
Can't tick any of the above as I don't really think that about any of them. Surely they're as diverse as any other ethnic / religious / etc. group? I shared a flat with an Israeli lad at uni - he was pretty cool and taught me to swear in Hebrew. He also made great coffee, and mashed eggs and avocado on toast. Can we have an option for that please?

Yeah, my vote is with eggs and avocado on toast (was it with cumin and mayo?) - and I've got some avocados about to enter their 20 min ripe period about....now.....

Any ethnicity that's given us Einstein, Freud, Dylan, Larry David and Howard Wolowitz among others, despite spending almost their entire history as someone else's punchbag, has to be doing something right.

Re: Jews(dard)
I certainly haven't voted.
I'm torn between feeling shocked that a poll and thread like this has been allowed to continue without being deleted, and feeling pleased that most posts on it have been more or less about what an idiotic idea it is to vote on what we think about jews.
It's inane to make sweeping judgements on groups of people by race/colour/creed/etc.
Heck, Richard!
