Do those people live in the evil mirror-universe New York where there are no Jews?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

You shouldn't call my husband names like that. Even if true.
Bahaha.

Dude, I live in Seattle, where there are very few people who are of the people, I'm not Jewish, and *I* could probably tell you which of my co-workers are secular, Reform, Conservative, or Orthodox. (Okay, so right now the latter is "Just that one guy who plays ping-pong sometimes." But still.)

The saddest part may be that the whole free-for-all obscured a legitimate question. Namely, "How can we reconcile my security needs with the religious requirements of my neighbor and his friends?"
I'm not sure there was ever a chance for that discussion to be the focus given the way the letter itself came about. I mean, would this even have been an issue without her "digust" for their lifestyle? Not the security issue, which is real, but the reason the writer couldn't just deal with it civilly in the first place.
How rational can comments be when you start from "how can I get over my abhorrence for these people crossing my path in the first place to swallow my disgust and speak to my neighbor? Or should I just have them evicted?"

Very true.

Hey, has anyone talked to Teppy lately? I realized that I haven't seen her on here in a while and knew she was having a rough time. If you're out there, hi Tep!

Congrats, Sparky!
Total tangent:

What exactly is meant by 'Hispanic', or 'Latino'? I mean, my understanding is that these words are interchangeable, and my assumption (and I sincerely apologise if this is coming across as offensive, because I'm not trying to be disingenuous here - this just isn't a UK thing) is that it's not so much an ethnic grouping as it is a cultural (linguistic/religious) grouping? Only that seems not to quite be the case. Could someone explain this to me? Does it boil down to biracial? I know that we've got a number of Buffistas of Hispanic extraction - can someone clarify this for me?
