pegleg31 Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 sorry but i agree,jokes in one way or another rip the 'wee' out of something thats why they're jokes.if you find a joke about an asian offensive but a paddy and murhpy joke funny then your an IDIOT,they're both racist.if you've got the sense to see they're a joke and find them funny.No your not a racist you've got a sense of humour.Every joke has a poke at somebody that is why we find them funny,so if you want to read into them the wrong way every joke is offensive to someone.Except knock knock,doctor doctor and the little jonny jokes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njc110381 Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 I think what's being said here is that some things just cannot be said on an open forum for fear of being taken seriously and causing offence. HD and the other mods were probably laughing their tits off like the rest of us, it's just that their job is to keep the forum a happy place for everyone so the joke had to go for political reasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveK Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 (edited) so what you saying then you can tell jokes about the irish and this is not racist ? As long as they're not called Paddy, Seamus or Mick. Nanook or Chingachkook are acceptable Two men of western celtic extraction called Tarquill and st John (Singeon) Remember folks we have Scottish, Welsh and NI governments ...............................and a British one (full of Scots) England doesn't exist and, therefore cannot have opinions, rights or anything else except money .............. that is taxed to the hilt. We don't have an English parliament We can't fly the flag of St George without permission, but Paddy, Mick or Andy's flags go up in England faster than a rat up a drainpipe Xmas gets dumbed down as it may offend Kids in schools don't make xmas cards as it may offend Enid Blyton is banned as Noddy fights with Gollys and it may offend (the fact that big ears is called big ears is missed by everyone. Poor chap) Can't have blackboards Can't have white boards Biggles is violent Billy Bunter is bullied (yikes) Fat controller is sizist. (Top hat man is a **** substitute) Ba Ba Black sheep (aren't any sheep black in this country?) Probably dyed some politically correct neutral colour The sad thing is that it's not the minority groups that are kicking off, it's the PC brigade. Asian opinion is that it's our xmas, the cards are a tradition, whats up with blackboards? They're boards and they're black. It's the do gooders that are screwing up this country, not the (delete this if you must, who give a pc shiite ) wogs, kikes, yids, spicks, polaks, pakkis, taffs, micks, jocks, suvvern ****, Them from t'other side of the pennines, etc. These people are as innocent as the rest of us in the politically correct society we are living in. In some cases they are as afraid to say what they think as we are. It doesn't matter a tinkers jot what race, colour, and whatever else someone is. It's down to how we all integrate into a way of life that's been in place for hundreds of years and took hundreds of years to evolve. Most are up for it but the few, fuelled by indigenous species that have nothing better to do, are kicking the **** out of it and spoiling it for the rest of us. Rant over Dave Edited to correct a mistake. I forgot to include markbivvy in the minority groups Edited May 4, 2008 by DaveK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry d Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Now we are getting closer to the meat and bones, any kind of harassment is determined as not as how it was meant but how it was perceived, therefore, should anyone, and this is very important, absolutely anyone, finds it offensive, you, and only you are liable for legal action. In so doing you also drag every shooter here down with you and that isn`t on, if you also look at relevant legislation, but I doubt if you will, then the variant constituents of the UK and Ireland are classed as regional rather than racial.

DaveK Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Oh dear, I seem to have explained it for you And added another nail in the coffin of freedom of speech. Isn't this how it all started? Someone said something, someones sphincter started nipping about getting sued and censorshop abounded. Isn't this why people are afraid to speak up in case they're branded racist, paedo, queer, bigot, etc? Isn't this why some people at work get away with poor performance because managers are afraid to tackle it? Isn't this why (back to it) the BNP are starting to make ground because people are sick of it? Isn't this why teachers are leaving the profession? Isn't this why the police are onto a hiding to nothing? I've said it before and no doubt I'll say it again: - There's a difference between moderation and censorship. Admit it or not, both happen on here. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
