I agree tasteless and offensive: first the 'jew' jokes then the 'black' ones.

I think when a jew (myself) makes a jew joke, it clears everyone else to, no? Isn't that how this disease I call 'political correctness' showcase itself? Well, if you're scared of offending a Jew - no worries, I am their spokesman and I can tell you - this is some funny s**t! Now we have to go find us a black guy to approve the black jokes, then JJ to clear the silver ones.... Dammit, this is hard work!

actually I gotta agree with Dan on this one, I felt uncomfortable about some of the stereotypes portrayed. It is not about one persons opinion but about wider acceptable standards within society.

Well, then that's fair. I will ask the MOD's to perhaps move this thread into the 'Jokes' section - others feel free to chime in.

Get a life it's all a bit of fun and not intended to offend anyone, I am fat, bald and disabled and I don't get offened with any jokes that fall into them catergorys. Life is far to short to take everything so seriously, if the jokes offend then don't read or join in. In todays world with all the problems this light hearted relief is just what was needed. PS I have Jewish and Black relatives and none of them found this thread offensive.

Oscar - this is the type of response he is looking for - his original idea was to shut down this thread. For someone this appalled by it - he sure visited it often. This is an open forum, and, no matter how ugly, some members will inevitably show their real side. If nothing else, I am glad we got to see 1220's.

No,

It's you, the newbie who got spanked with the sale of your crappy dead people's watch from the tiitanic. That needed to go over board introducing the "jew" thread to gain acceptance. Then thinking you could pull the trump card and declare "I iz a jew" therefore I can talk like this...

....you're a classless loser, your mommy and daddy know it

A disgrace in fact.

Wow, man, your issues run deeper than I can help you with. I don't remember getting 'spanked' with the sale of the Titanic-DNA. Some people like it - some don't, this is a free country (perhaps it is our freedom you hate the most - hmmm). And, you're reading waaaay too deep into the thread - it all was in good fun, 'til you showed up. But no surprise there. If my memory serves me right, one finds acceptance by being a decent human being, not by starting a thread - what a silly notion.

And your name-calling says tons about your character, or lack of it, rather. But, as I mentioned, Thank You for appearing as you are - you did noone a disservice besides yourself.

Guys, guys....

What began as a pretty straight off thread with a picture asking for a caption has now degenerated into a political one.

Let's keep it nice and friendly as always so no one gets hurt in the process. Let's respect each other's feelings and cultures and please let's try and keep this thread on track without the bicker-backer and mud-slinging.

Thanks guys.....be cool!!

Cheers - JJ

WHOA!! Now this is getting just a wee bit out of hand, buddy. Let's not get personal. Nothing wrong with that cute baby in Mosco's avatar. Last thing I'd want is an innocent child to be dragged into this mess.

I've said it once......I'll say it again......let's keep this civil, disciplined and under control.

Thanks - JJ

IMHO

Comments that may/may not adhere to racial stereotyping are not as harsh as the WTC pic and comment. Although unsettled by the thread, I admit I have added fuel to the fire by coming up with comments for the pictures enclosed.

I would never imagine posting or even begin to condone a "comedy" comment on an act of violence that caused many deaths and shook the foundations of the entire world.

In my opinion this is by far the most tasteless thing I have ever seen on this forum (that means a lot coming from a goofy tasteless idiot like myself).

This might be a mod issue fair enough and well done JJ for trying to keep the peace, but I think we all deserve an apology.

Jim

Ladies and gentlemen, we almost had a new champ - 1220m has collected 24 points within the space of one thread. I believe the record is 30.

In any case, he won't be back in this life or the next.
