Toys for Tots rejects Jesus dolls

[Alex+R 0]

That's a stereotype and a misconception -- not all Jews are rich. Some are doing merely okay, others struggling to make ends meet, and then there are those who're really poor. Just like any other group of people.

To insinuate that Jews, as a group, are wealthy is like stating that Asians are all braniacs or African-Americans would be "gang-bangers." Some fit the mold, but there are a lot that don't.

It's not a misconception. Jews are wealthy because of their plan to dominate the world. Haven't you ever heard of the Protocols of Zion?

PS They are poor in Argentina but c'mon so is everyone since the peso crisis.

can I get an Amen?

don't get me wrong here folks, but what are non Christian kids getting Christmas toys for? How do these folks hand 'em out?

Well, I don't know about Islam, but maybe they'd be handing out gifts to Jewish kids for Hanukkah? It usually falls sometime around Christmas. In fact, I think it's a week before Christmas this year.

really? i know sometimesit coicides.. but i also thought that just passed by. any one who knows care to fill us in?

Hanukkah usually shows up some time around Xmas. Or before. It goes by the Jewish calendar, in which we are in like 5763 or something (I'm too lazy to google it). But c'mon, Jewish kids who need Toys for Tots? Who are these poor Jews?

What ever happened to "toys for twats"?

What ever happened to "guns for tots"?

[Cristy 4]

In reality it was probably because what kid would want a jesus doll? For real.

"I believe ... anyone can benefit from hearing the words of the Bible."

Then you are delusional.

I think the "do unto other as you have them do onto you" is something everyone could stand to hear and learn.

Now I wonder if Toys for Tots would turn down a Mohammad doll or dreidels?

The median income in the United States is about $25,000 a year. That means that one half of all Americans earn more than that, and one half earn less. The median Jewish American income is double that, i.e., $50,000 a year.

Like I said yesterday stereotypes don't come out of thin air.

Because SATs are a perfect correlation with native intelligence, and have nothing at all to do with class or schooling. Stereotypes don't come out of thin air, but that doesn't make them accurate.

wwjd? J. would say what a bunch of ugly-### dolls.

Or maybe he would say, "I never said that!"

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- A talking Jesus doll has been turned down by the Marine Reserves' Toys for Tots program.

A Los Angeles company offered to donate 4,000 of the 1 foot-tall dolls, which quote Bible verses, for distribution to needy children this holiday season.

WWJD, probably turn them into 100,000 Elmos and Barneys.

[Cristy 4]

Why you think they were being dumped on Toys for Tots. Who would give kid a Jesus doll. Oh thanks grandmom, no sweater this year?

[Trompe le Monde 1,107]

Maybe its for the kid who was bad this year -- you know, instead of socks

[Hilarious Clinton 452]

I guess they don't want the faceless Muhammad dolls either.
