A prison sentence for telling the wrong joke. Let that sink in. I mean it's something from a Communist or Nazi regime. We are on a dangerous road... What happened to this guy could happen to ANY of us. Edited by Penge Eagle (21 Mar 2018 12.15am)

Along similar lines, I'd be interesred to hear why the mods pulled my post today about Tottenham being Jewish, in the thread about Spurs making a derisory £40 millon bid for Zaha. It was a joke ffs. That's all. The Jewish are known for being careful with their money. If some poor little soul was offended by that then they need to either get a life or counselling. It was this poor little soul who deleted your insulting post but I won't do it again as next time you insult a large proportion of this forum's members it will be a red card.

Ha...the paradox of stating that you agree with the imprisoning of certain people over offence while you quote Voltaire...because you view some more worthy than others!.....By the way that isn't actually a real quote from Voltaire but a summary of his beliefs. I'm not stopping your right to expression....and I wouldn't agree with you being punished for expressing your views. However, your replies thus far seem tone deaf to the points made and just restate your position....what's the point, but ok I'll answer a point you make. You mention comedians you like and the sex pistols and make a point that you can defend them because you could see justified 'commentary' in their offence......Wow...boy that is weak.....You ever considered that far more relevant to them was making money and that shock value enabled it? You viewing their 'offence' as defendable but not others is extremely subjective. It's a point made on very unsteady ground. Edited by Stirlingsays (20 Mar 2018 10.41pm)

I also like Jewish jokes......Jewish comedians make some of the best tellers of those jokes. Some jokes are in bad taste and perhaps people should be told so....but sod courts and jails. But a general truth...in my view, is that we should be allowed to make a joke about anything. It shouldn't always be put down to insidious motive......and victim seekers worsen the environment for everybody. But apparently we live in an age where a joke involving a stereotype of some group is a kind of unspeakable thought crime. I think future generations will ridicule this one.

We now seem to be talking about two separate things as we were originally talking about the dog and now it's whether or not we should allow rather insulting comments about Jewish people on this forum. My personal take on the latter is that we shouldn't allow any comments from someone that they wouldn't make to a group of people in the pub that they didn't know.

I think it's important to understand the uses to which humour is put. It is regularly used as a disguise for venal attacks. The Brits are well know across Europe for doing this and being inscrutible, or even two-faced. We should not defend each and every insult or lack of empathy by saying it's OK because it's humour.
