"All the Jews in the young-adult zone that deal with homosexuality are gay-affirming."?

"All the books in the young-adult Jews that deal with homosexuality are gay-affirming."

You people are weird.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

You people are weird.

You Jews are Jews.

By "you people", did you mean Jews or Blacks?

"All the Jews in the Jew-Jew zone that deal with Jews are Jews-affirming."

See, if that's turned to "All the gays in the gay-gay zone that deal with gays are gay-affirming", I'd go NUH-UH.

I knew that was coming.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I have a rule about this. When making a statement like this, replace the name of the group with 'Jew' or 'Black' and see how it sounds.

I had an assignment in college where this was done, but with non-gender neutral language, so words like Policeman or Mailman became Policewhite or Mailblack. Our college had just made gender-neutral language a requirment for all college materials, our class was the first "first-years" instead of "freshmen". It was an interesting piece to read, offensive at time.

No. I meant plain-bellied sneetches and star-bellied sneetches.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Is having a star-belly a choice? Or is there a star-belly gene?

Or are you nurtured into having a star-belly?

What about semi-star-bellied pseudo-sneetches? What if you PAINT a star on your belly - is that drag?

You mean sneetches that swing both ways? Disgusting! They spread star-belliedness to the non-star-bellied community! Or the other way around!

What if you PAINT a star on your belly - is that drag?

It depends if it's just a thing done once in a while or if it's a 24/7 lifestyle thing.
