Contracycle,
I will envertheless be requesting the moderators stop this board being used as a vehicle for hate speech.
Presumably any joke that has someone as the being the butt of it is hate speech? Like you've never laughed at a joke of this nature, ie. most of them?
Most Irishmen I know would laugh at any given Irish joke, why are they not supposed to laugh when the word "Irishman" becomes replaced with "negro"?
I loath racism with a passion, but most "racist" jokes are as harmless as the next. Never heard a honky joke & laughed at its cleverness? Probably not. Some people work a little too hard at being offended on behalf of themselves & others.
Two Scotsmen standing by the roadside. One said to the other, "can you smell perfume?". "Yes", says the other, "the English are coming".
Who do I complain to?
Lighten up, man.
Mark
