Please explain why anybody would want to live in alabama

just bought a house down there for winter. gulf shores is the nicest place out there. fishing and cheap

I’m from Mississippi, and when I was a kid and would hear people from Alabama and Arkansas say “thank God for Mississippi” I honestly thought it was meant as a compliment. Damn was I naive! Of course I’m the same brilliant guy who was 19 or 20 years old before he realized that when people used the word “Jew” as a verb (as in “he wanted 20 dollars for it, but I jewed him down to ten) it was meant as an ethnic/religious slur.

Not necessarily a slur, but Jews have a sterotype of being cheap. Hence that usage of the term.

Just Google Jewish jokes, a good deal are about money.

Not saying that is right or anything, but sterotype does not automatically mean a slur. It is a sterotype that Asians are good at math, but if you believe this you are not insulting Asians by saying they are, are you?

It's better than being at risk for the bubonic plague in CA. Plus, the ever increasing homeless population, too much taxes, and too much sh%t in the streets of San Francisco.

I see your point, but I thought that the implication of the use of Jew as a verb was that Jews are are money hoarders and are the kind of people who can pick your pockets clean with a smile and a handshake.

Interesting idea, no one complains about a positive stereotype. No one criticises you by saying how dare you say that nice thing about that group.

(Unless the group is white older males)

To jew down someone is a negative stereotype

I think that's where they invented the toothbrush.....

Anywhere else it would've been called the teethbrush!

There's this guy.
