DIRECTV...? (Also General Anti-Semitic Thread)

[camKSU]

Hey there fellas...

So I looking to make the switch to DIRECTV for this next fall, do any of you have any suggestions and/or tips/tricks on how to "haggle" them into giving me more?

Any other opinions/comments regarding their service?

*Post edited to remove potentially offensive term, apologies in retrospect

I do but I'm not going to give it to an anti-semite.

Yeah, someone needs to take his title and stars away.

A) don't be a bigot
B) if you sign up for direct tv you can get 25k AA miles which is enough for a RT domestic ticket

New customers usually get a pretty sweet deal for the first year

I've had DTV for years, but you've got watch their billing.   I threatend to leave last fall, ended up with $40 dollars a month in credits for a year, and the NFL package for free.

snow sticking to the dish can be an issue, I would not want the dish mounted to the roof of a 2+ story house.

Jesus Christ... I've got some family and friends that are hebs and they use that term all the time. I mean I put it in quotes.

the lesson I've learned here is that if you want to be a bigot just put the bigoted phrase in quotes and you're cool.

[Brock Landers]

Yeah as a new customer you will get a really cheap price for at least 3 months, then it will steadily climb.  Every couple of years you can call in and pretend to be butthurt about something and they will give you a break on your bill for a while.

Maybe your family/friends are bigots as well?  And yes, you are correct, Jesus Christ was indeed Jewish.

Since when did the verb, 'Jew', becomes such a bad term? I've always used it in the sense of a frugal money conscious individual.

So much butt hurt these days. (No homo). ((Not that there is anything wrong with that)).

"I'm shocked that known racist shivvyman is also an anti-semite", said nobody ever.

[shivvyman]

"I'm shocked that known racist shivvyman is also an anti-semite", said nobody ever.

Nonsense. I'm more Jewish than most Jews.

SD, can you fix this thread title so my 5-year old son doesn't read this and ask me what all these horrible, horrible words mean again?

Sheesh, he won't stop crying.

Using this term as a verb is essentially what the term pejorative means (in which you express your discontent/disapproval).  Using the term "Jew" as a verb is as contemptuous as it gets as you are relating the term back to a historical meaning of "dirty/filthy".  This term and the "N" word have a similar background (epistemologically).  To answer your question to since when...since you've been saying it.  I'm not Jewish, but my family is (I was adopted at age 10 and I asked to keep my faith).  This isn't about butt hurt.

Hmmmm...can I get poster of the week by using anti-bigot terms.  Eff it...

Edit: Confirmed.  Poster of the week also granted by using anti-bigot terms.

 Posters are always rising and falling on gE.

I think we've moved past the 'dirty/filthy' perceptions. Most people associate 'Jew' with being cheap or slick in a monetary sense. I, however, consider the word a term of endearment and associate it with the idea of being 'fiscally conservative.' Obviously, I'm not PC.
