Shana Tova to you all!
Tonight is the start of Jewish New Year - so L'shana Tova to you all
that means happy new year!
if you feel like joining me in a celebration then take an apple and dip a slice in honey - rather yummy, but very traditional!

A Happy New Year to you too, Yehudit.
How many different calendars are in use still around the world? I don't know how many different kinds of New Year I have celebrated in different parts of the world certainly Lunar (Chinese), Ba'hai, Muslim as well as Jewish.

As I have posted before, I live in a mainly Asian area so Ramadam is very big here. Eid at the end of it is some celebration and it is so enjoyable if you enjoy Asian cooking beacuase they give the stuff away to their neighbours. Matam is when the Shiites beat their chests and that is one heck of a spectacle although the Sunnies who are in the majority here regard it as blasphemy and get rather tetchy about the whole thing

Am I the only person on this forum who finds this joke offensive? If I am, then I am disappointed in what an education at CH stands for.J.R. wrote:Shouldn't there by a hyphen between the 'i's' ?soc wrote:As I have posted before, I live in a mainly Asian area so Ramadam is very big here.

When I posted Shiites it wasn't meant as a joke you know, I just forgot the apostrophe.
But why do people get upset about jokes about other peoples when I have had to endure jokes about being Catholic or being of Irish descent and do so with a smile because people are just joking after all. I have learned over the years to accept it even if most of the jokes I hear aren't funny. Along comes a gag about a muslim group and here we go it isn't funny, why is that not funny when Irish jokes are?
Neither I nor JR mean't any harm to anyone. What genuinely annoys me beyond belief is that the matter is not dealt with via a PM and so person to person. Now there is a post that is personally abusive about my integrity and claiming that I am in someway letting CH down. Say that to me personnally next time.

It was not your missing appostrophe that I thought was offensive, it was the following joke that I found offensive.
Perhaps I am over sensative but it does concern me that those in the minority have to tolerate being called offensive names, and I think it is important to stand up and say so rather than always leave it to the targets of such comments to either put up with it have to address it alone.
