Title: Should Cinco De Mayo Be Banned?
Post by: admin on October 07, 2007, 11:09:13 PM
I was thinking of what holiday we should ban next so this is what I came up with.

Yacov, no offense but this really is getting a bit ridiculous. We have all said our opinions on celebrating foreign holidays and we won't need to go through holiday by holiday.

May 5th is just a regular work day for me. I voted to ban it on the basis that it's a Mexican holiday and I'm not a lover of Mexican culture.

This one I'm going to have to say no to. Hispanics have a right to celebrate this holiday in America. There are SOME good Hispanics in the country, who contribute meaningful things. But the majority of Hispanics are illegal, so, they have the right to celebrate it back in Mexico.

Good point.  Diane Sawyer of ABC interviewed the president of Mexico (some of the interview was shown Sunday and some will be shown on Monday) and his responses were ridiculous, irresponsible, outrageous, etc.

Worse they're bunch of crazu rascist nazi amerindians like MECHA aztlan group who hate every european including spanish catholics and jews not only anglo lutheranos; Do you know that there's no monumnet for great Hernan Cortes in all Mexico; the man who liberated them from Aztec tiranny and massive bloody sacrifaces? mayority of creols from Northern New Mexico doesn't consider themselfs "mexican" they're descendents of  spanish settlers; they lived under Spanish crown for 250 years and under "Mexico" for only 25 years. They just like Argentinians or Cubans exiles ligving in Miami the real Spanish Americans.

Did you know the May Pole is also pagan? What is it with you schvartzas liking all the pagan holidays? The rest of the forum is firmly against those customs. Not to mention that The May Pole Holiday was made into the Communist May Day, a double reason not to celebrate it.


Geez, let me be happy for one second man! I WAS IN 3rd grade what do you want from me? And if I DID know of pegan holidays like Halloween, I would still celebrate it , like some people here do without a problem. Its only bad if you bring bad into it. Did you call anyone else here schvartza for being okay with Halloween? Don't call me a name that you wouldn't call your friends here.

Mexican Independence day is Sep 16th
5 de mayo is not Independence day, it's when Mexicans defeated the French.
Many don't even celebrate it in Mexico. But the illegals sure love to celebrate it here.

It's so freaking hilarious that they make a huge deal out of beating the French.  Who freaking cares, that's like beating the Knicks or the Devil Rays!

...but Dr. Dan how recognized, in America, is Israeli Independence Day?
Cinco De Mayo is shoved down our throats.
The day I go to work and see little Israeli flags sticking out of the cafeteria food, on Israeli Independence Day, or cafeteria workers wearing a kippah - is the day I'll stop being irritated by having Cinco De Mayo shoved down my American throat.
No offense meant - but Cinco De Mayo seems to be the double standard.
Any minute now the children in my daughter's school will be inundated with reproducibles touting Cinco De Mayo.  In 3 1/2 years I have yet to get one paper home acknowledging Israeli Independence Day or even Columbus Day ( a national holiday)!  ;)

Your comparison is weak and NO excuse for insulting Yacov, who is a great Administrator!

You like to insult people, you insult Moses and now you call a righteous Jew a nazi!

Nazis killed innocent people, millions of innocent Jews. We DO NOT joke about nazis here!You cannot make this ghastly comparison because no one here is trying to cause a mass genocide like the nazis did and no one here advocated racial aryan superiority! Therefore there is no comparison!
 You can take your insults and keep them to yourself. You could have disagreed with Yacov without calling him a nazi that was very wrong.

And if you insist on calling Jews "nazis" then you're in the wrong forum. After the horrible things you said about Moses, and now this I really question what you are doing here!

And what did the Nazis do before they killed millions of innocent Jews?  Why, they banned Jewish holidays, just like Ben Rachamim wants to ban a Mexican holiday.

I just hate to see when members are threatened, in public discussions, by the staff.

By flexing out your power user's muscles in public like this, you alienate regular members like myself.

I'm just saying that this movement can't really grow unless everybody can fell safe to express their opinions, without the fear of being smacked behind the head all the time.

If someone steps out of line, a private warning is warranted. Not this finger pointing cr@p!

Just ban illegal aliens and deport them.

It's not "Cinco de Mayo" that is a problem.

It's just the sheer numbers of illegal invaders who celebrate it which are our problem.

There are plenty of all-American citizens of Mexican descent, and like all other Americans, they have the right to celebrate their ancestral heritage if they choose.

We Jews are faced with a rather unique situation, because of all peoples we were without our ancestral land for two thousand years.

We to a greater or lesser degree honored our Biblical history and mitzvot, and only 60 years ago witnessed the rebirth of a Jewish nation in our native land.

The Irish and Germans have never considered that their ancestral homeland would be erased from the face of the Earth.

We Americans of Jewish ancestry certainly now can honor our ancestral homeland's unique history, the same as the Irish honor their heritage.

Those who "accuse" Jews of "dual-loyalty" are the same ones who stop in the checkout line at the grocery store to stare at the "latest scoop on Prince Harry or Lady Di".

'Nuff said.

Title: Re: Should Cinco De Mayo Be Banned?
Post by: cjd on May 05, 2008, 09:30:44 PM
I have to disagree about these "threats" and how it will "put people off"

Khazan has been provocing everyone for months now. He's said some horrible sexual things against Moses that are just TOO horrible to even mention! In fact, the things he said are so horrible that even non-moderator members "pointed the finger" at him and told him that he should stop and warned that he should be banned. And then he calls a righteous member a nazi and doesn't stop.
As a moderator I DO have to call someone who does something like that "out" and I am sorry if it bothers people, but there is nothing I can do about it, it's my job. I have been given the task to stop that foul language and behavior.
And they are not "threats", they are warnings. And I repeat it, if someone insults Moses like that, I will tell them that I will have to ban them. We cannot just let it go and cannot send them PMs about it asking them to "please stop" for the sake of people not being "put off".
If a nazi troll comes in the forum to post nazi pictures, must we PM the person and "warn" them?
Also, many people told Khazan to stop insulting Moses and to apologize and he said "I will not apologize". Can someone like that be "warned" in PM ?

I understand your concern, it's very logical. But the important thing is that people don't get "threatened" I mean, you tell me how many people get "threatened" in the forum? (although it's actually warned, not threatened) How many people on the forum fear for their membership because they are "threatened" by us ? The reality is that the only ones who do get these warnings are nazi trolls , those who post porn, and people like khazan who have been warned several times and who post anti-Torah things. THOSE are the ones who get 'threatend" NOT regular good JTFers.
And many members agree with the warnings we give and are not put off by them.

So as long as people post things that are respectful to the Torah and post things that are not out of line, there is no need to worry about getting "threatened".
In other words, those who are good members have nothing to fear.

Before I leave I want to make some final points:
  • These "threats" warnings we give are ONLY directed to those who are trolls, perverts, and insult the Torah in such a horrible manner and the non-moderator members AGREE with the warnings we give to those who are disrespectful. In fact many non-mod members actually request for the person to get banned.
  • Someone may say they joined for what Rabbi Kahane believed in and not for people to get "threatened" and "banned" which is a logical and valid statement. However, what do you think Rabbi Kahane would do if he hears someone post horrible sexual derogatory things against Moses? Would Rabbi Kahane be ok with people making fun of Moses and other righteous Jews like that? I don't think so.

And finally, if it were a good member who was "threatened" then I would agree, but Khazan was warned repeatedly and he said he would never apologize. He was being too disrespectful and this is just something we must do. As bad as it feels, we must protect the forum and the good members, because they do not deserve to have someone like Khazan post such filth. Khazan is not a good example of someone who could be "warned" in a PM either. He was unremorseful and continued his perversion.


Darn,  I'm so sorry I took such a long page to write this. But I want you to understand that when these warnings are given, it's necessary and not done foolishly and people are not put off, because some report it and ask for us to stop them or to ban them. And that those who are not trolls, have nothing to worry about.
I could not agree more  O0

And what did the Nazis do before they killed millions of innocent Jews?  Why, they banned Jewish holidays, just like Ben Rachamim wants to ban a Mexican holiday. 

I am going to tell you just like it is. I had enough of this period! You are very disrespectful.
Your comparison is weak and YOU need to show Yacov proper respect (and be respectful to Moses). Yacov is a good righteous Jew. You have problems because you take everything so "seriously" and you make fun of everything!

Your comparison is not worthy of an answer. Yet, I will say it once and for all. The nazis planned mass genocide. The Europeans had been hunting Jews for many many centuries. Killing them, torturing them, humiliating Jews, taking their possessions and many many more horrible things!
The nazis just went a step further and plotted to put all Jews in camps and kill them.


The difference is simple:

-Jews in Europe had always been peaceful residents for many, many years.

-5 de Mayo is NOT even a holiday in Mexico, it is not celebrated in Mexico (only in one/two regions and by very few people). It's a farce "holiday" that illegals who have not been peaceful residents for centuries are making cities, states and other "mulitcultural" public agencies celebrate in other to be "culturally sensitive" to illegal aliens. Even St. Patrick's is celebrated by the descendants of LEGAL immigrants but 5 de mayo is a FARCE than people in Mexico don't even care about.

And YOU! You don't stop. You insult Moses, making sexually inappropriate comments about MOSES!! And then you call a righeous Jew in this forum a nazi?
This is my formal warning to you, I will have to ban you from this forum unless you stop these attacks. 

You messed up, your nazi comparison is vile and it doesn't work since there is no comparison. Apples and oranges. It's wrong and yet you still keep going.

So it's up to you

i have to say your arguments are extremely weak. who cares if Mexicans dont celebrate in Meixco. Cinco de Mayo has nothing to do with being culturally sensative but rather a Mexican victory against the French. FYI AMERICA supported Mexico during this war in the 1860's. Banning Cinco De Mayo would be near retarted since it would give  a reason for Mexicans to complain about unfairness( which they would rightfully have had). And does it really make a difference that Many millions of illegal immigrants are Mexican. Mexican legal immigrants also celebrate this holiday so you would have no justified reason for doing this. Banning an immigrants group cultural holiday is infact one of the most unamerican things to do. And i cant believe people would consider this.

Must we worry about every group that complains about unfairness?
We are going to drown under the weight of 'political correctness'.
When did we start celebrating Cinco De Mayo anyway?  :D

And what did the Nazis do before they killed millions of innocent Jews?  Why, they banned Jewish holidays, just like Ben Rachamim wants to ban a Mexican holiday. 

I am going to tell you just like it is. I had enough of this period! You are very disrespectful.
Your comparison is weak and YOU need to show Yacov proper respect (and be respectful to Moses). Yacov is a good righteous Jew. You have problems because you take everything so "seriously" and you make fun of everything!

Your comparison is not worthy of an answer. Yet, I will say it once and for all. The nazis planned mass genocide. The Europeans had been hunting Jews for many many centuries. Killing them, torturing them, humiliating Jews, taking their possessions and many many more horrible things!
The nazis just went a step further and plotted to put all Jews in camps and kill them.


The difference is simple:

-Jews in Europe had always been peaceful residents for many, many years.

-5 de Mayo is NOT even a holiday in Mexico, it is not celebrated in Mexico (only in one/two regions and by very few people). It's a farce "holiday" that illegals who have not been peaceful residents for centuries are making cities, states and other "mulitcultural" public agencies celebrate in other to be "culturally sensitive" to illegal aliens. Even St. Patrick's is celebrated by the descendants of LEGAL immigrants but 5 de mayo is a FARCE than people in Mexico don't even care about.

And YOU! You don't stop. You insult Moses, making sexually inappropriate comments about MOSES!! And then you call a righeous Jew in this forum a nazi?

It should not be banned but it should not be rammed down the throats of the American people. Mexicans can celebrate it to their harts content.

but rather a Mexican victory against the French.
I'm sorry but in case you didn't know, 5 de mayo is was not a "victory" over the French. It was one won battle but then after "5 de mayo" the French TOOK Over Mexico anyways. There was no real victory. It's just a farce "holiday". If anything people should celebrate the REAL victory over the French 5 years after "5 de mayo".


And i cant believe people would consider this.
Too bad but it is a forum where people have many different opinions. Not everyone likes everything but it's not going to change.

yes but unfortuantely becuase of some unnamed moderaters different opinions are not allowed here. And another point who are you to tell people when a holiday should really be seperated. Some nations national holidays are losses in battle. So that it is another weak point.

Honestly, I have no idea what you're talking about now.
your point that Mexicans should actually celebrate their victory instead of cinco de mayo

I think you're a little worked up with your "who are you" lecture, there buddy. I'm not the only one in jTF against the forcing of "5 de mayo":. I can have my own opinions, too bad if you don't like it but I fail to see how this 'who are you lecture" will help the universe.
In any events I could do the same and tell you "WHO ARE YOU to tell me what to think"
Geez, calm down dude. everyone is having a civilized discussion and then you come in with your telling people "weak arguments" and your "who are you" thing.
We must take a "chill" pill and remember that it's a forum of different opinions, period.
"forum of different opinions" in your dreams
