Umm.. and where exactly have you been?

There is daily Christian and religion in general bashing going on in here, from jokes about Jesus and nails, to Catholic priests and molestations, to flat out calling all region and those who follow one lazy, feeble-minded, and stupid.

Is it offensive to some/many? Sure. What's the appropriate solution? Simple. Climb down off your cross and use the wood from it to build a bridge so you can get the fvck over it already.

Those are nothing. I had a Jewish friend of mine tell me the following joke:

Him - So do you know how the Nazis rounded up all the Jews?

Me - How?

Him - They rolled a nickle down the street.

I couldn't believe it when he told me that.

Nope, no rods stuck anywhere they shouldn't be.

These aren't Jewish jokes, maybe laughing about someone's nose, or their fiscal penuriousness. They are jokes celebrating the attempt of a genocidal madman to EXTERMINATE a whole race.

It's the difference between a joke about about black people, and a joke about KKK lynchings.

It's the difference between a joke about the fashion sensibilities of some folks, and a joke about dragging them behind a pickup for a few miles until dead.

It's those differences (except in this case multiplied by MILLIONS) that are for debate. Tell Jewish jokes all day long, tell Polish jokes all day long.

I guess mocking the deaths of millions with some *jokes* is acceptable, and any disagreement will be met with the "aw, you ain't gots no sense of humor" approach. Well, "you ain't got no taste", or class.

Ignorance of the horrors of history and mocking, laughing, and tacitly endorsing them by doing such will lead to repeats of these atrocities, as demonstrated by the continuing attempts at genocide over the years since.

How about some jokes about some more "ethnic cleansings"?

I for one am truly sorry if I offended you. Why don?t you come over for a barbecue?

If you aren't Jewish you shouldn't be offended... plain and simple. And even real Jews wouldn't get that offended. Racism is part of this world and we have to deal with it. The best racist jokes I've heard were from my Mexican compadres at work about themselves. They laugh about what people say about them. The funniest racist joke I heard was one like Medicine Bear's.

"How do you find the population of Mexico?"
-roll a penny down the street

"How do you find the richest guy in Mexico?"
-find the guy who got the penny

Just chill out and realize that racism is starting to get tolerated and that not many people are affected anymore by it.

We make fun of the Crusades now - I believe Monty Python made a movie about them, said to be a quite funny movie. Many people died and suffered horribly during the Crusades. The Black Plague - "Bring out your dead." - killed millions. I doubt there were many jokes made back when those matters were considered current events.

Once enough time passes, there will likely be humorous tales told about Lincoln and Kennedy's assassinations, the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Trade Center attacks, and the Iraq war.

I find some jokes offensive, and punishable by death, but some I find amusing. This one, I found hilarious. I got it from a friend.

Him: So, there's this racist driving down the highway.
Me: Ah.
Him: Yeah, and he sees this Turk. (The English got the Irish, we've got the Belgians, Marocs and Turks) So, he drives over him. And whattaya think?
Me: No idea.
Him: Stole his exhaust.

Y'see, over here, we've got the Belgians with their fries, the Marocs with their garlic-breaths and the thieving Turks. So..

You're too new to know what's embarassing.



/quitbanningme/ bannedtroll/ fredtam/ I don't even remember the names before that


So you just admitted to having multiple accounts? A bannable offense? And multiple times?

Do you want an IP range ban?

yes
