have you something against the irish little vixen??
you seem to like making racist jokes directed at irish people

if jokes about pakis, muslims, queers etc are taboo, then i dont see why my people should be singled out for ridicule.
i know you didnt mean to be offensive in any way, little vixen, but fairs fair

Here:

"Here’s an example: I’m Jewish, and once in a while a friend of mine will joke about dropping a penny on the floor and seeing if I pick it up. Normally, that would be viewed as offensive. But I just laugh and respond with a joke about that friend’s religion (he’s Roman Catholic). No one’s ever offended.

And here’s why: My friend’s did not intend to insult my religion or ethnicity; he intended to make a joke. This is the crucial difference: it all comes down to intention. Racial jokes do not operate in a utilitarian context in which the end result determines what is ethical – the end result is the same (the jokes are made). So, therefore, all instances would be ethically wrong. Rather, the most applicable theorem is the Kantian idea that only the intention behind an action determines whether it was ethical."

Oh and as long as you're banning jokes, you should also ban the "yo mamma's so..." because they insult all mothers. Also ban news on tv when they say anything bad about your country... What, does it matter that the leaders screwed up? It's not like I'm leading it. LOL Am I makin' any sense?


After all... It's not like a joke is "Something not to be taken seriously; a triviality".

However... This is a very thorny subject. Of course nobody likes jokes on the things they hold dear and consider to be as serious as something can be.

Think I got it all wrong again... However... Do ban the momma jokes, please. They really insult my mom.

Agree totally, Bliss.

The vast majority of jokes poke fun at someone/something, and you are quite right - if a comment/post/joke was INTENDED to cause offence, then that would be something else.

I look forward to the NetNanny to research previous jokes posted and complain about those also!!

I suspect that certain people share their sense of humour with others - cos they dont have one of their own - PATHETIC!!

so dodgy are you saying that we should have a free for all and allow every racist and prejudicial "joke"...as long as we dont INTEND to cause offence and that every paddy, paki, nigger, queer, woman, rape victim, victim of paedos etc etc etc who does happen to be offended is PATHETIC
if thats your attitude friend, then youre very much the pathetic one.

I made a cornish joke a while ago, so should I take offence at taking the piss out of my own race?

I have stayed off here today cos I was very upset but hey! why should I?
