Calling someone Jewish is polite. Calling someone an Arab terrorist, if that is true, is descriptive. But calling someone a racially or culturally derogative term is insulting and impolite and not acceptable at Feelies.

There are all sorts of insulting words for Jews. I am sure you would not like to be called any of them. And if anyone did that at Feelies I would warn them, but if they continued to do it, I would ban them. Same thing with kebab eaters and towel heads and any other insulting name that people call groups of people.

Since I am the moderator of the thread, I am in charge of making sure no one is racially insulted here. So please refrain from using pejorative, racial terms.

"It was once said, and very rightly, that a man who is well brought up may read anything. The only people who boggle at what is perfectly natural are those who are the worst swine and the finest experts in filth. In their utterly contemptible pseudo-morality they ignore the contents and madly attack individual words.

Those who boggle at strong language are cowards, because it is real life which is shocking to them, and weaklings like that are the very people who cause most harm to culture and character. They would like to see the nation grow up into a group of over-sensitive little people - masturbators of false culture of the type of St. Aloysius, of whom it is said in the book of the monk Eustachius that when he heard a man breaking wind with deafening noise he immediately burst into tears and could only be consoled by prayers.

People like that express their indignation in public but take unusual pleasure in going to public lavatories to read obscene inscriptions on the walls."
