Aren't big noses great...

    Today I brought my daughter to the playground to meet her big-nosed friends with their kids. Also met my big-nosed cousin and his big-nosed partner and their little daughter. After that, I went to my big-nosed barber and to her delight he produced a lollipop.

    And I thought, she'll grow up experiencing big-nosed people that I could only dream of when I was a child in white Catholic Ireland in the late '70s and '80s. And it felt good.

    Just don't ask me why :P

    "Did they play a game of thrones"?

    How could it be any better as a parody?

    Or do you just not like the obvious being spelled out?

    I for one welcomed a thread about big nosed people.

    Alas, I didn't realise it would be a jibe at modding here and the need for profound posts.

    Disappointed Bygumbo...and there is so much to talk about when it comes to big noses. I have to admit, I don't believe your post is genuine at all at all...:)

    A Roman nose is a feature in certain Europeans. A hold over.

    A Jewish big snout is a different thing altogether. They almost universally have large honkers.

    It's not ok for anybody to make fun of them for such because they have no say in the matter. They're the semitic, the Shem, the Hebrew. Good folks in other words.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,500 ✭✭✭✭DEFTLEFTHAND


    They're would be no Old Testament without the Jews. The Chosen People.

    The son of God was a Jew who preached his own way, the New Testament.

    They may have derided him at that time and sentenced him to his death, but now in the 21st century we are closer than ever, we are society, we are the Judeo-Christian culture who forged the modern western values.

    That is just not true. Plenty of Jewish people have average and indeed small noses. Opining that Jewish people all have big noses is like saying that all Irish are red headed freckled pale skins. It's a stereotype and one often used by anti-semites.

    Don't you dare try and paint as an anti semite.

    They themselves will admit to the big nose phenomenon

    I'm the biggest supporter of the State of Israel on this island.

    It embarrasses me when when SF clowns do their thing.

    Fcuk you is my response to them, we'll still keep our Judeo- Christian culture.

    The policies which made the west the best.

    A lot of characteristics of noses are genetic.

    As they say it runs in the family :pac:

    Modern Western values were brought about by the separation of church and state.

    E'm no they weren't.

    Judeo-Christian values forged the values of the modern western world.

    This is part of the reason why Commies hate Christianity.

    Foundation of Capitalism, promotes family values. The Family is what society stems from not the State.

    That post is as mad as a bag of spiders

    Pretty much what I expected from someone who claims to be a supporter of Israel yet sees nothing wrong with using crude antisemitic stereotypes.

    Capitalism must have turned a wrong corner somewhere, how does things such as increasing worker insecurity promote family values, as it seems to be having the opposite effect?

    And you're such a sheltered soul that you can't see the harmless banter in it.

    I refer to my Polish friends as Polaks.

    They refer to me as 'the mick'.

    Why don't you loosen yourself out a bit?

    Tell ya what, I'll loosen up a bit when you stop posting your non-factual born again Catholic goobledegook in an attempt to defend your use of crude racial stereotypes. Deal?

    The learnings of classical civilisation, polished off with the renaissance and the enlightenment and souped up with the industrial age and the silicon chip have forged the values of modern western society.

    You sound triggered.

    Learn the definition of satire. I know that context can get lost in text speak but seriously my friend you're taking me up the wrong way.

    I'm not a Nazi ok. :)

    Actually my sallow complexion might preclude me from joining the Party. I look like a guinea.

    Your moving the goal posts a bit there Conor. The post I responded to mentioned modern Western values, to me this means democracy, adherence to the rule of law, religious tolerance, equal rights, free speech and the like. Most of these values only came to be accepted in the West after WW2.

    Obviously the western world shares a common Christian heritage, but it is certainly not the source of the rights mentioned above
