"Jew him down" is just a common phrase in today's world. Kids everywhere say it. It means the same thing as "To get him to lower the price." Meanings of some words change over the years and that's whats happened with "Jew"... If you don't like it, get over it. Public opinion is generally protected by the 1st Amendment, and if it's someone's opinion that they should be able to say "Jew him down" then they should be able to. "n***** rig" is just a common phrase in today's world. Kids everywhere say it. It means the same thing as "patch something together." Meanings of some words change over the years and that's whats happened with "n*****"... If you don't like it, get over it. Public opinion is generally protected by the 1st Amendment, and if it's someone's opinion that they should be able to say "n***** rig," then they should be able to. Why was gay substituted for stupid? That answer is why society frowns on these stereotypes.

Tech terms baffle Internet terrorism trial judge MARK TREVELYAN Reuters May 16, 2007 at 2:35 PM EDT LONDON — A British judge admitted on Wednesday he was struggling to cope with basic terms like “website” in the trial of three men accused of inciting terrorism via the Internet. Judge Peter Openshaw broke into the questioning of a witness about a Web forum used by alleged Islamist radicals. “The trouble is I don't understand the language. I don't really understand what a website is,” he told a London court during the trial of three men charged under anti-terrorism laws. Prosecutor Mark Ellison briefly set aside his questioning to explain the terms “website” and “forum”. An exchange followed in which the 59-year-old judge acknowledged: “I haven't quite grasped the concepts.” Violent Islamist material posted on the Internet, including beheadings of Western hostages, is central to the case. Concluding Wednesday's session and looking ahead to testimony on Thursday by a computer expert, the judge told Ellison: “Will you ask him to keep it simple, we've got to start from basics.” Younes Tsouli, 23, Waseem Mughal, 24, and Tariq al-Daour, 21, deny a range of charges under Britain's Terrorism Act, including inciting another person to commit an act of terrorism “wholly or partly” outside Britain. Tsouli and Mughal also deny conspiracy to murder. Al-Daour has pleaded not guilty to conspiring with others to defraud banks, credit card and charge card companies. Prosecutors have told the jury at Woolwich Crown Court, east London, that the defendants kept car-bomb-making manuals and videos of how to wire suicide vests as part of a campaign to promote global jihad, or holy war. The trial continues.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ May 17, 2007 -> 11:52 AM) There are taxes (mostly at the state level) that are %... now that's slightly different, but it's the same point. Allocations, smallocations. Social Security taxes coming out of my paycheck sure as hell isn't for social security. Earmarks don't mean crap in Washington. Where the switch occurs, much like lottery revenues going to schools, is when funds are cut from the general fund and the net expenditures remain the same. From the links I found on gas tax, perhaps some local are a percentage, but the federal and state governments wisely went for a price per gallon. Didn't at least one Eastern state reduce their tax bite when prices went through the roof a couple years ago? I thought with Social Security the problem has been that deductions alone are not paying for all the benefits and we've had to augment that with other tax revenue. I don't think it's Social Security has been a surplus and they are using it elsewhere. Overall, we agree. We are taxed left and right and never see the whole bill in one place. I've seen some averages, but I would love to get to a system where at least once a year I received a total I have paid in taxes, from income to "sin" taxes.
