Florida, whats it really like?

[Shemtov]

some ghetto in Miami

Excuse me?
Miami does NOT FORCE the members of particular race, ethnicity or religion into certain neighborhoods. They have neighborhoods where members of particular race, ethnicity or religion are concentrated for social or economic reasons.
That is not a "ghetto".
A "ghetto" is a tool the Nazis used to control my people's movements before they would be killed like cattle.
Your use of the word is offensive.
Or paranoid.

Oh shut the **** up.

 

[Schlosser85]

The word "ghetto" is not exclusive to the Holocaust. It has been used to describe terrible neighborhoods for decades.

 

[CConn]

I'm pretty sure Shemtov is joking. His humor is usually so dry you loose all respect for him before you even consider it might be sarcasm.

 

[Schlosser85]

A ghetto is a part of a city in which members of a minority group live, especially because of social, legal, or economic pressure.[1] The term was originally used in Venice to describe the part of a city to which Jews were restricted.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghetto

noun, plural ghet·tos, ghet·toes. 1. a section of a city, especially a thickly populated slum area, inhabited predominantly by members of an ethnic or other minority group, often as a result of social or economic restrictions, pressures, or hardships.

2. (formerly, in most European countries) a section of a city in which all Jews were required to live.

3. a section predominantly inhabited by Jews.

4. any mode of living, working, etc., that results from stereotyping or biased treatment: job ghettos for women; ghettos for the elderly.

The term "ghetto" was not invented by the Nazis, and is not exclusive to them.

Neither was/is the swastika.

 

[Darthphere]

Shemtov, do you wake up every morning and just set out to make half ass connections between benign comments and the Holocaust then proceed to act all offended for no reason other than to call attention to yourself? We get it, you're Jewish. We can move on now.

 

[Schlosser85]

Neither was/is the swastika.

Are you seriously pretending you've never heard of poor neighborhoods all over the world referred to as "ghettos"?

 

[CConn]

I wish the swastika could be used in a positive manner again.

I also wish the black/red/white color combo could make a comeback too.

Goddamn Nazis being evil.

 

[Shemtov]

No, I wake up every morning and just set out to make half ass connections between benign comments and the Holocaust and then proceed to act all offended to parody the people who DO get offended at everything, like the people who protest the use of the word "picnic" because of false charges that it has racist origins, which could have easily been disproved by quick research.

I feel like I lose a miniscule amount of my intelligence every time I Read anything you write.


THANKFULLY, I don't see much... but I miss my little bits of intelligence here and there.

I told you ****s he was joking.

 

[Darthphere]

It's always easy to say "Hey I was joking." when you get called out on your ********.

Which I just did.
And have done before.

So you're admitting you're a joke?

No, I'm pretty sure he was joking the entire time.

You're not seeing the subtext.

 

[CConn]

That is the subtext.

That you didn't see.

Probably because you're a Heat fan.

Y'all think West Palm Beach County is 'ghetto'? Man, talk about being wimps. Some of you would need body bags for your trip to Miami, if that's the case. As an individual who has lived in Boynton Beach, Orlando, Delray Beach, Boca Raton, Port St. Lucie, Ft. Lauderdale, Jupiter, Okeechobee, Coral Gables and various other parts in Miami and Key West, it's a peaceful and beautiful place filled with hot women from all over the world.

Now, I ain't saying there aren't areas that newbies or tourists should avoid like the plague, but each city has those areas. Miami and West Palm Beach isn't for everybody. If you scare easily, then stay out. Miami, especially, considering it's a party and fast-paced city sprinkled with celebrities, drug lords, wealthy snobs, models, athletes, exiled dictators, zombies, etc.

BTW, Disney World kicks Disney Land's butt.

The Heat are filled with subtext. Also, best team in Florida.
