Subject: RE: NON IRRITATING JEWISH JOKES
Dear GUEST,I WOULDN'T TAKE YOUR DAMN COOKIE:

I agree with you wholeheartedly about those who remain silent. The world remained silent during The Holocaust and that is what most do when a thread of this type is started. It must, therefore, be an inherent character trait in many people.

There was a time, pre-1999, when threads of this nature would never have been started. I certainly would not direct blame at those who rally against it, as some do by saying "just don't respond" or "if you don't like the thread, click on the Back button," as if the person who is offended should carry the burden. To those of you who did voice your concern or outrage, thank you for putting yourselves "on the line," as it were.
