The people who complained and called me names are basically displaying political correctness and saying expressing these jokes was wrong. Their philosophy restricts humour into this 'safe' zone where no one is offended unless that group is deemed 'bad' or 'powerful'....though that itself is arguable. Well, I argued against it....Angrily against one particular name caller but nothing that I said was as articulate or as too the point as this piece I've found by Bill Mather the American stand up/host.

Once again,putting your pre-conceived ideas before the reality,but don't let that stop your frothy paroxyms over this weekend about political correctness, the death of merrie olde england and not being able to see beyond the tip of your nose,notwithstanding its cute non semitic size I blame the liberal left elite and the "politically correct twerps" myself.After all, Belsen was a gas,no?

Quote pefwin at 21 Jun 2015 4.00pm A joke is a joke, and in many ways an anti- establishment protest(?) probably the wrong word. There are those that have been overly penalised due to jokes.....ask Rodney Marsh as s***e as the joke was. But based on your own precepts, people will take offence against jokes or as they would see it jibes against those they "prefer" or deem offensive. That includes plenty of the right wingers on here.....please note I did not use the "eye swivel" joke. A joke is definitely a joke, no one should read too much into a couple of jokes. If someone intends ill towards a group then it's rare that they just restrict themselves to humour. My point is general with the clip speaking far better than me....In my particular case one main poster decided to label me as 'anti this and anti that'....Exactly in the vein that Bill Mahter observes in his video. We need to push back the automons in today's culture and call them out for the thought policing that they push. 'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.'

Agreed. Not enough sterotype jokes around nowadays. "An apartment of 3 floors lives 3 families, A White family, a Black family and a Racist family. At 2pm on a normal working day, a fire breaks out and burns the building to the ground, which family dies? The Racist family, Because with the others at 2pm the parents are out at work and the kids are at school" "A fat racist and a skinny racist jump off a cliff. Who wins? Society" "Why is a racist like a dog? Both mark their territory with s***" "Have you heard the one about the racist who choked on Yogurt? He found out there was a foreign culture in it" "How many racists does it take to change a light bulb? 100. 1 to change the bulb and 99 to deny that the last bulb ever burned out." "How many racists does it take to change a light bulb? None, racists hate being enlightened" Edited by legaleagle (21 Jun 2015 4.35pm)
