Oh shut the fuck up about "tell a Jew by their appearance". Maybe at some point in history one could, but now we've got three or four major kinds of Jews and tons of Jew-Gentile genetic mixes who can easily have Jewish features without being Jews.
Do you have a problem with someone in your ancestry?
I'm telling you man, you find a disproportionate amount of Jews in nerdy loser type of roles. You can verify that if you don't believe me. As for an explanation, well I wish I had one. I just think/presume that people associate Jews with nerds, as they do with East Asians.
People associate being nerdy with being Jewish or Asian. This should not mean that you use "jewy" as a slur to mean "nerdy".
The reason for the problem is that the entire conception of a "nerd" has been sublimated racism against Jews and Asians (and nowadays Indians) from the start, based on the conception that immigrant Jews and Asians were sexless, soulless robot-men who existed only to steal jobs from God-fearing white Christians by doing grinding work that the Christian whites considered humiliating. They only made up "nerd" because it became politically correct to say "greasy, grinding, hook-nosed Jew".
So stop the antisemitic crap. I don't care if you're part-Jewish. I'm all Jewish, and if you really think Jews are nerds I welcome you to come here to Israel and say that to me, my friends, and a few arsim with knives.
As in "big jewy loser who never kissed a girl and plays WoW goes through a bunch of adventures and in the end he kisses a hot chick whom he thought was "out of his league", whatever the fuck that means".
I was pretty much with you until you used the word "jewy" as a derogatory adjective. We Jews ain't losers.
I'm going to say that the corn-worshipping culture is the one that bowed down, prayed, and made sacrifices to corn.
Whereas the culture with the really bad agricultural policies is the one eating tons of high-fructose corn syrup because corn subsidies have made it cheaper than cane sugar.
Ah, the sense of entitlement speech. I haven't heard one of those directed at me since well... ever. What, you think somehow my taxes don't support social programs? You think I want to get but not give?
Please, just shut up. In a civilized society we the people help each other. That was sort of the point of state universities, you know.
Well, nice to see that the people who don't like me can always chase me down on the internet for the flames they'd be too polite and meek to spout in real life.
Bad news: I'm actually not living overseas for a year. It's just a semester.
So let's see... are you just some undergrad or have I actually managed to seem weird and arrogant to a PhD?
Going to a state university in general and in principle does not sacrifice one's quality of education in general. In practice, going to a specific state university can easily sacrifice educational quality in general or in a specific field, and an accident of residence can easily place a person in a state where the best nearby schools, in general or for a specific field, are either private or over state lines.
In other words, Buttfuck State might actually be quite a crappy school even though State University of Place at Decentton gives a fine education. Or maybe University of Nearby at Funland just over the state line simply has a better department in your field. While I support public higher-education, I still can't stand to hear someone tell people to just sign up for their local state school based on cost.

I didn't go to an expensive, prestigious school. I want to a state school one state over that has a great department in my field (Comp Sci) and get charged like I'm going to an expensive, prestigious school.
I find it strange that I live as close to Amherst as I do to Binghamton yet I have to pay more at the former than the latter because of obsolete borders between "states" in the same exact country.
What the hell is this "woo" thing you keep going on about?
Making up specialized professional terminology without having a specialized profession is often the sign of having gone completely over the edge with anger.
Yeah, the Hasidim are totally the majority of modern Jews and utterly representative of us and our religion -- just like how the 9/11 hijackers are utterly representative of modern Islam.
The real problem here is that the man's an executive, and he looks at porn after-hours instead of banging his secretary. By God, I thought everyone knew that the lamest cliches on TVTropes are meant to come true all the time!
Please stop calling sex-phobia Judeo-Christian. We Jews had nothing to do with it. In our religion we're positively commanded to get it on, with specific regulations on how often you must satisfy your wife based on your occupation. Oh, and we used to have concubines!
Yeah, right, make a whole country of people pick up and move somewhere else, then nuke our land into oblivion. That's surely the solution!
Honestly, I don't know what the hell to do. Until I heard about this secret nuclear facility I honestly thought that Iran was rational enough not to provoke Israel and the West into a war or a MAD situation. This sucks.
OK, so go into a completely different profession. Are you married with kids yet? That's the only major reason I can think of that you couldn't retrain.
Wow, Iran called for Israel's "regime" to fall. Did anyone tell Ahmedinejad that the Israelis have had multiple general Parliamentary elections since he made that statement? Yet he continues the sentiment. It almost makes you think that he really does want the end of the State of Israel.
And then we'll call the Israelis Islamophobic genocidal Nazis and sanction them for taking care of their own security without the approval of the "international community".

Yeah, the weird thing is that UMass has exactly such an agreement with the other New England states but hasn't or won't make one with New York.
I'd gladly pay the taxes necessary to not be viewed as a moneypot by the university administration.

Right, so we should sacrifice the quality of our education for a cheaper one by going to Buttfuck State. Gotcha.
No, actually some of us make time for computer work, a social life, and Humans vs Zombies.
That case has nothing to do with the age of consent. He raped her no matter where you draw the age line.
Politics is part of everything -- just like carbon.
No, that's right, you're just out Borrowing.

Yeah, the Hasidim are totally the majority of modern Jews and utterly representative of us and our religion -- just like how the 9/11 hijackers are utterly representative of modern Islam.
Right, and we're not repressing or slaughtering Arab Israelis.
The real problem here is that the man's an executive, and he looks at porn after-hours instead of banging his secretary. By God, I thought everyone knew that the lamest cliches on TVTropes are meant to come true all the time!

Israel might be a wee bit worse, since they are actively repressing and slaughtering their own citizens.
Wait, what? Since when were we repressing and slaughtering Israelis in Israel?
Did you get all your info off Reddit or something?
Yeah, right, make a whole country of people pick up and move somewhere else, then nuke our land into oblivion. That's surely the solution!
Honestly, I don't know what the hell to do. Until I heard about this secret nuclear facility I honestly thought that Iran was rational enough not to provoke Israel and the West into a war or a MAD situation. This sucks.

Shlomo? Why should someone disagreeing with you automatically possess or earn the name "Shlomo"?
Wow, Iran called for Israel's "regime" to fall. Did anyone tell Ahmedinejad that the Israelis have had multiple general Parliamentary elections since he made that statement? Yet he continues the sentiment. It almost makes you think that he really does want the end of the State of Israel.
