Now listen up: In Europe, and especially in germany and poland we have a very very bad history with jews only 70 years ago. European people are at least as much senstive about the topic as you folks from the U.S. are with the whole nigger-thing! While you may call someone who is greedy a "jew" nonchalantly in the U.S., it is an absolutely no-go here in Europe. You have to understand that. Thats why people make such a big deal out of it in this thread.
To emphazise my point: In Germany we have the "Zentralrat der Juden", which translates to "Central Council of Jews". It is a whole huge organization, which almost does nothing else than exclusively watch the politics, media and the society to expose antisemtic-tendencies. And oh boy, let me tell you they actually complain alot..
So next time before you post something like: "Ah comon, 'jew' is just a funny word blabla", keep in mind that other cultures may have different boundaries...
really? council of jews?

He means he wanted to see that Felix guy who did the super high jump die. It was fairly unrelated.

Major is pointing out that Desrow wished that Felix Baumgartner had died on his jump from 120 000 feet in order to bring further attention to the issue of poor jokes / inappropriate statements.

It's enough to say that the MoW house doesn't seem to be a nice place to be as a player. This isn't a major upset or drama though.

And it's actually true. "tolerance" is not really fair to everyone nowadays lol.

Call me a jew to my face and i'll break yours.
"tolerance" is not really fair to everyone nowadays lol.
Burning 6 million jews in gas chambers wasn't fair either.
User was banned for this post.

do any jewish people care using the word jew for calling someone stingy?
its kinda like calling something is gay, when you arent refering to gay people?
Calling someone a jew is like telling someone you fucked his mother, at least that's how israelis (like me) take it. And for a good reason. So don't do that.

That's alright, I'm sure everything will be alright once they apologize with kitten pictures.

whoosh on this whole drama. isn't desrow staying for free?

In Europe? In sweden nobody really cares, then again i've never heard anyone call anyone a jew except for one guy that happened to be of german origin.

This thread turned into a fucking shitfest, this is exactly what Destiny was talking about lol. People are just focusing on the words, and not the message. People should stop bitching so fucking much about curse words, jesus TL, i thought you were better than this!?

I love how a food issue in a house in Poland, where young guys go to train and get better at a videogame, has taught me a few more facts about the history of jews throughout the centuries.
Also I stopped caring for DesRow a long time ago and so should you, dear reader. Morrow already had a new fan in me, so I'll take the history lesson and go. Food has to get bought every day so this will sort out eventually.
Bunch of jews

Are you saying it's disrespectful for Jewish people to be called Jews?

If they're not happy about it, just get up and leave or something. MOW not providing promised accommodations should be good enough grounds to terminate the contracts, no?

Where to start.. Get your priorities straight. If you want to become a better sc2 player you have nothing to complain about. If you want to eat clean and healthy you might want to consider moving out of the house.
First of all you are there for "free". You have been there for months now, so you know where you stand and what you can expect food-wise from the hosts. If you want to eat healthy there do something about it yourself. Food supplements have existed for a long time now. They are not meant to be meal replacements but they are ideal in your situation as addition to the food you are getting now. Buy some quality complex Carbs, Proteins, Multivitamins, Flax-seed oil/ Fish oil, etc. You have a place to sleep, you have place to train, you have a gym where you can work out.
If you want a decent meal beyond what you are getting at the house and from supplements, I'm sure you can find a restaurant.
That being said imo MoW focuses way to much on making profits immediately (riding the esports money wave) instead of establishing a brand. Get a decent professional cook for crying out loud.

I hold an Israeli passport and thank fuck I'm not a jew, yous all have a reverse racism syndrome..
Back to topic,so far what is the actual benifit for anyone to be in MoW? all these dudes are known enough on their own without some teamhouse that is stealing their meals

Depends on your tone and demeanor as well as connotation. If you 'call' someone a jew as though it were an insult, yeah, it's an insult.
