some of you might appreciate this

[Fish of Fury]

not me of course...


The Saudi Ambassador to the U.N. has just finished giving a
speech,and
walks out into the lobby where he meets his American counterpart. They
shake hands and as they walk the Saudi says, "You know, I have just one
question about what I have seen in America". The American says "Well
your
Excellency, anything I can do to help you I will do." The Saudi whispers
My son watches this show 'Star Trek' and in it there are Russians and
Blacks and Asians, but never any Arabs. He is very upset. He doesn't
understand why there are never any Arabs in Star Trek." The American
laughs
and leans over. "That's because it takes place in the future."

[Sharky]

that is gay.

it is probably the gayest thing you have ever said.

[qeySuS]

Yeah that's supergay, especially when you considder that the whole star trek thingie is suppose to be about a united earth and not devided as it is now.

In theory when met with the fact that ET's exist the whole planet stops thinking of themselves as one country vs another country and now it's earth vs the world so it unites them and stops ethnic disputes and racism.

[Fish of Fury]

i thought it was funny but i don't "agree with it"
(i'm actually pretty strongly against racism)

[black and blue]

Bloody Hell! Are you some sort of twisted Trekkie? It's a joke, no need to actually examine the fundamental basis of the TV series.

:)

Me thinks you watch too much TV. That said, Seven of Nine... ah, Seven of Nine... br**sts which are truly "planetary".

:D ;) :D ;) :D

[KungFuGuy!]

There really needs to be an Off Topic message board.

[qeySuS]

qeySuS is a klingon name :D

[scotty1]

One of those jokes where you go "oh, that's sick man" but do actually find faintly amusing. But it is in incredibly bad taste, and I'm suprised its still on here.

[Badger]

I think it's funny.

Stop whining PC police!





Badger

[Sharky]

it's racism you ****ing retards

[Badger]

WAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!






Badger

[scotty1]

I'll be surprised if this thread hasn't been deleted by the time I get to work tomorrow morning.

[Sharky]

badger has now lost ALL of my respect

[rubthebuddha]

and humor is an excuse to have a racist view or to share a racist comment? i don't give a fûck if you don't necessarily agree with it or find it funny. if it's racist, it's racist, so don't fûcking post it.

[rubthebuddha]

shît. try to come across as ****ed off and the whole johnny bravo thing ruins it.

sigh.

[KC Elbows]

There are only two kinds of people fish doesn't like: bigots and arabs. Oh yeah, ****sexuals, too. There are only three kinds of people fish doesn't like, not including politicians, mexicans, cubans, koreans, individuals from the Republic of Congo, Balinese, Swahili, and liberals.

All right, so there's only eleven kinds of people fish doesn't like, unless you're counting the chinese, well, the mainland chinese, though he generally doesn't care for the Hong Kong chinese, and chinese living abroad really **** him off, he just wishes they'd go home.

Aside from those groups, fish is OK with everyone else. Except welfare mothers. Oh, yeah, little kids who fall down wells suck in his opinion, not to mention children with rickets, small pox, distended bellies, and all those kids who have that disease where they look like old people, god he hates those kids.

To my knowledge, Fish does not hate the Leichtensteinians. That's good for something, isn't it?

[Badger]

It's funny how you use a word like "gay" to describe a joke you don't like then complain about bigotry. Anyone here ever laugh at the "whitey" jokes on Night at the Apollo? I do.Of course I have a sense of humor.

I don't believe it was Fishs intent to insult Arabs, only the scumbags we are at war with.





Badger

[rubthebuddha]

they're not scumbags, they're mysogenistic tyrants who ...

oh wait, that's us. they're oppressive sexist *******s who despise any political ideology but their own.

****. that's the u.s., too.

um. crap. nevermind.

oh wait! i know why i hate them! they demolished all those buddhas.

[rubthebuddha]

okay hosers, question for you: an idea occurred to me as i was writing that last post, because i was trying to come up with negative things to say about afghanis that also applied to us, and i had no problem doing it. they're mysogenists, and the western world is still nowhere near equal in respect to gender treatment. they're oppressive of alternative ideals, but if you say to a group of people at a social event that you feel very strongly about some of the socialist and communist ideas marx proposed, i wonder how many people will continue to talk to you for the rest of the night.

now the idea: could the reason we're stuck with pretty pathetic insults for other groups (towel heads, dagos, etc.) is that other comments, like sexist or oppressive or other such things, also apply to us, and we're afraid of being categorized by terms like that, so we stick to simpler names? as in, wet back will always apply to a hispanic person, ad infinitum (or is it nauseum?:mad: )

anyhoo, my summed-up point -- do we use simple, rather dopey names for other groups because the truly important things (being called a wet back because you crossed a river to get into the states isn't as bad as sexist oppressive babykiller) may also apply to us?

your thoughts, ladies and gentlemen, would be appreciated on this. and if this needs to be taken elsewhere, feel free to e-mail me.

[rubthebuddha]

one thing i had to fix? wet back, when put together as a single word, is censored, too: *******.

go Gene!

[HopGar]

come one guys, he was not being a racist, it was actually amusing. You guys take things WAY TOO seriously.........(oh wait I do to..oops)

[prana]

oh wait! i know why i hate them! they demolished all those buddhas.

But they'll never destroy the Buddha in you...

[prana]

he did say that he does condemn racism, and further stated that "some of YOU (ie. but definitely not him) might appeciate it". I think this is him merely sharing something to friends.... and does not reflect on him personally.

[Chang Style Novice]

I thought the joke was insensitive, grisly, and in poor taste.

Just like a joke should be; I loved it.

[KC Elbows]

I was just kidding fish earlier. I'm sure he doesn't really hate those kids with the disease that makes them look old.:D

[NorthernMantis]

Fish you have offened me!!!:D

[rubthebuddha]

not saying he's a racist. he may be a bum and a scoundrel and a taco bell employee, but racism is a different issue.

and i know it was a joke. i have a million such jokes (actually, 817,436, but who's counting?). and i think they're all good in certain circumstances. i just find it in distaste when people say, i know this is bad, but ...

it's like those wonderful dads who say "i'm doing this for your own good" when they beat the shît out of you. i think it's a cheap way of getting away with something you really shouldn't.

again, i'm not hating here. i just got flowers from my sweetie, so drinks are on me.

[joedoe]

It was a joke.

By their very nature, most jokes are offensive to someone.

Lighten up and try not to take everything so seriously guys :)

[Fish of Fury]

"he may be a bum and a scoundrel and a taco bell employee"

D@mn, it's like you're reading my mind (i am currently between fast food positions at the moment though)

I think some of you could lighten up...still i apologise to anyone who's genuinely offended (incl sharky)
I don't hate Arabs

BTW
Q) what did the poor little deaf blind and dumb girl get for christmas?
A) Leukaemia

[scotty1]

Get off the moral high ground Sharky.
I expect your opinion of Badger for beng racist is probably about as low as Spectre's opinion of you for being sexist, and you're proud enough of that to make it your signature.
And Badger is right about your use of the word 'gay' in a negative context.

People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

And knickerless girls shouldn't climb trees.

And while we're at it, how come a thread about death metal and six packs on girls (very tenuously KungFu related) gets deleted, and one with a racist joke gets left on?

[Colin]

Well the joke made me laugh when I read it, but the comments by some people after didn't.

The current arabic/islamic mindset is to irradicate Americans and the whole of "Western Civilisation" from the face of the earth.

It will be the poor little PC people that will be sucked in first because of their goody twoshoes love thine enemy attitude.

We're at WAR with these people for Fu-ck sake!

Hows about a little solidarity with our boys who are risking their lives so give us the freedom to argue about these things in the first place.

I bet if you told that joke to the guys on a US aircraft carrier they'd laugh! Does that mean they're all racists and bigots?

These comments do NOT make me a racist. They make me a patriot!
C.........

I'm now sitting back waiting for all the "Your a racist" shi-te that is going to be thrown at me.
Throw away it don't stick!!

[KC Elbows]

You know, I was just kidding fish about the racist thing. However, the joke wasn't all that, anyway.

However, Colin, if telling a joke even those who laugh at consider just another dumb joke is an act of patriotism, then patriotism really has gone down hill over the years. I don't think finding a joke to be funny is "showing solidarity" for our soldiers, and considering the same joke to be somewhat lame, if it is, is not supporting the enemy.

I find the joke about bin lauden and custer funny. The one at the beginning of this thread, I didn't. I wasn't outrageously offended, but I'm not arab. Am I supposed to lower my standards at wartime?

BTW Colin, I'm glad you let me know that the arab world wants western civ destroyed, and not just some extremists within the arab world. Glad we could confine this discussion to a rational level.

Final point: the joke was about arabs, not afghanis, if I recall right. There's a number of arab countries we're not at war with right now. Am I supporting the troops if I dis those countries?

Anyway, the joke wasn't worth all this. Someone liven this up with a better off-color joke, please.

[Badger]

Arabs,afghanis -Same thing. They all suck.







Badger

[Chang Style Novice]

"Someone liven this up with a better off-color joke, please."

Your wish is my command!

'How are the Leonids like taking a bath in prison?'
'It's a meatier shower!'

nyuck nyuck nyuck.

By the way Colin, your remarks are illinformed, as KCElbows has pointed out. The alleged declaration of war by congress was in fact no such thing, since no nation was named.

"Hows about a little solidarity with our boys who are risking their lives so give us the freedom to argue about these things in the first place. "

Absurd. We already have our freedoms, although they are being not-so-slowly chipped away by pro-war politicians like John Ashcroft. The war on terrorism has been the worst thing for American's freedom in my lifetime. Secret military tribunals with no appeal, search and seizure without cause, unlimited wiretapping capabilities, arrests without facing one's accuser or being informed of the charge. Does that sound like freedom or tyranny to you?

Put down the flag and pick up a non-mainstream media source, like The Nation, Salon, In These Times, FAIR, TomPaine.com, etc.. Learn the facts before you obey. Otherwise it is blind obedience, and that will get you killed, fast.

[KC Elbows]

I watched Jay Leno and didn't laugh once, and now they're looking for me. If anyone asks, you didn't see me here.

Is it safe?

[rubthebuddha]

since it doesn't seem like we're going to agree on anything, i'll at least try to bring some balance to the force with this:

why did the white man cross the road?



to exploit the land and its people.


:D

god, i love that joke, even as a white guy.

[Chang Style Novice]

<Cornholio voice>

Are you mocking me!??!!?

</cornholio>

[KC Elbows]

Rub, I am offended by that joke, as it failed to mention the billions in financial aid the white man contributed after exploiting the land and its people.

Anyway, it wasn't really a road, just a dirt path between two hovels full of starving kids, and they were just squaters anyway, **** freeloaders!!

[Colin]

OK, I can't answer all points individually as i'll be here all day so:
Osma bin-Liner has declared war on the west. FACT

Al-qaeda has stated it's primary objective is to bring down western civilisation. FACT

Jeeessssssh! open your eyes and look around you.

A joke is not patriotic or otherwise. What i'm saying is that to tell a politically incorrect joke does not make a person a racist.

KCelbows:"BTW Colin, I'm glad you let me know that the arab world wants western civ destroyed, and not just some extremists within the arab world. Glad we could confine this discussion to a rational level."

HELLOOOOOOOOOOOO! Kindly remove head from ass and take alook around you. Neither You nor I can differenciate between who is and who isn't an extremist.
NEVER in the wildest dreams/nightmares of the average American did anyone think something like the WTC attack would take place. But the people that did it were living amongst you and you friends for many months, if not years. So call me paranoid if you want.
The liberalism of our softly softly approach to these people means that they can live amongst us, plotting to destroy us and we are powerless to defend ourselves.
To chang style novice: You want the facts, yet you suggest reading anachist leftwing anti-establishment propaganda rags to get an "impartial view".
I assume you are still a college student, as you still talk the way most of us did while at college.
But trust me when you get you there in the real world you will see the truth!

Anyway I thought the initial joke was funny so there!
And my dads bigger than your dad!
And my brothers an astronaut.
And And..........

[KC Elbows]

Quiet Colin, we're talking about white folk now.

Just kidding.

Anyway, thank you for spelling hello so expressively. Now, a few isolated extremists acting in our country does not a racewide conspiracy make. Plus, if we alienate all the American-Arabs, exactly who is going to be our spies in the middle east? Nordic Minnesotans? Germans from Wisconsin? I can see it now:

TERRORIST GUARD: In the name of Allah, who goes there?

NORDIC MINNESOTAN SPY: Hey dere! You look like the fella who could help me. Have you seen Ossama Bin Lauden?

TERRORIST GUARD: Declare yourself!

NORDIC MINNESOTAN SPY: You betcha! I'm Saladin Emir Christiansen, guud to meetya. Hey, is that a beirgarden?

BANG!!

[Chang Style Novice]

OK Colin, you don't like the magazines I like. Fine.

What's your opinion of the suspension of the US Constitution by the US Patriot act, and the end of civil liberties in the United States?

Now that I'm done responding to your emotional attack in a rational way, I'll give back what you handed me:

Not that I care, you fu(kin' limey ignoramus. Whattayou want, the Monarchy back in power? To hell with hereditary assumption of power, be it Windsors, Gores, Bushes, Sauds, or bin Ladens.

You knew how to treat royalty right? Robespierre!

[rubthebuddha]

actually, only rasputin knew how to treat royalty right. :D

ah, the decadence that is political discussion.

and now i'd appreciate it if we could continue ripping on white folk.

[wushu chik]

LISTEN TO ME VERY CAREFULLY!! IT WAS A JOKE!! I personally thought it was hilarious! Everyone needs to learn to take a joke around here. What the h3ll is wrong with you people?? We are bombing THEM...they aren't any threat to us thus far, so we are all OK!! OK? It's time that everyone just let go of "Racism" for a few minutes and see the humor in some things. I personally hate racism, but you know, in light of things that are going on right now in the world, that's the funniest joke I have heard in a while!!

SO, IN SHORT, GET OVER IT!!!

[NorthernMantis]

Fish still has offended me:D

[wushu chik]

I would just like to clarify ONE thing to you. There was quite a few people that believed that something like the WTC attacks could happen. I happened to be one of them. Did you really think we are IMMUNE??? If you did, you are an idiot...and so is everyone else that thought that way. I am not trying to start an argument about this...but, really...don't you think all this BS about war and **** is being taken a little far?? Are you that SCARED?? OMG...people like you make me want to VOMIT!!! "Oh, i am so scared because they landed planes in our buildings...now we are bombing the sh!t out of their whole country....I NEVER EVER EVER EVER thought something like this could happen....why? Because I have blinders on and look at the world thru rose colored sunglasses and i am a pansyass!!" You are pathetic and weak minded, and you should be sent to the front lines with all your bull****!!

WHEW...I feel better.....ANYWAYS..back to the white jokes...

[prana]

wushu chik = wrathful deity

[joedoe]

Bill Clinton & Saddam Hussein are meeting in Baghdad over how to end the Gulf War. 10 minutes into discussions, Saddam presses a button on his chair and a boxing glove pops out of Clinton's arm rest and punches him in the nose. For the sake of international peace Clinton simply ignores the incident and carries on with the talks, while Saddam quietly laughs to himself.

10 minutes later, Saddam presses another button on his chair and again a boxing glove pops out and hits Clinton in the stomach. Again, for the sake of international peace Clinton ignores the incident while Saddam has a nother chuckle.

10 minutes later again, Saddam presses another button on his chair and once again a boxing glove pops out and hits him in the crown jewels. No longer able to take this for international peace, Clinton advises Saddam that the meeting is over and that they will reconvene in the White House for further talks in a month's time. By now Saddam is laughing his head off.

A month later in the White House Saddam and Bill are meeting about how to end the Gulf War. 10 minutes into the meeting Clinton presses a button on his chair. Saddam, wary of payback, ducks out of the way but nothing happens. Clinton has a little chuckle to himself. 10 minutes later Clinton presses another button. Again Saddam ducks out of the way but nothing happens and Bill has another chuckle. 10 minutes later again Clinton presses another button. Saddam ducks out of the way but nothing happens again.

Eventually the talks fail and Saddam says to Bill, "Well, I guess I will see you in a month in Baghdad" to which Bill replies "What Baghdad?"

[wufupaul]

I chuckled at the joke, too, I laughed at the joke, not the subject of it. However, as far as Colin's statements "The current arabic/islamic mindset is to irradicate Americans and the whole of "Western Civilisation" from the face of the earth.
It will be the poor little PC people that will be sucked in first because of their goody twoshoes love thine enemy attitude." Nice generalization, I'm glad KC already ***** slapped you with that one. I found a nice little quote that you might want to look at before you spout ethnocentric garble:
"In Germany they first came for the Communists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant."
"Then they came for me --- and by that time no one was left to speak up."
German Pastor Martin Niemoller

[CanadianBadAss]

You say we're at war with these people? I don't think you can really call us bombing the shiit out of them a war... I think americans just like to think the're at war for some reason....

[Starchaser107]

Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton are at home writing thier auto-biographies.

After Staring at Bill for hours Hillary asks Bill :

"Bill darling how do you spell womanizer , with a ( S ) or with a ( Z ) ? "

Bill looks at her and says : "With a ( Z ) sweetheart."

then continues to type away and stops abruptly :

" Ahm Hillary is Ice-Queen hyphenated? "

[Colin]

Hey Wushu-chik,
You have got one filthy mouth on you!
I won't comment too much about your remarks as they are very limited in depth, and have no meaning to this discussion!
However with regard to " Are you that SCARED?? OMG...people like you make me want to VOMIT!!! "Oh, i am so scared because they landed planes in our buildings...now we are bombing the sh!t out of their whole country....I NEVER EVER EVER EVER thought something like this could happen....why? Because I have blinders on and look at the world thru rose colored sunglasses and i am a pansyass!!" You are pathetic and weak minded, and you should be sent to the front lines with all your bull****"

I'm sorry but I will not get into a discussion with a juvenile.
You sound like a little pre-teenage girly shouting about nail polish "OMG thats the prettiest pink i've ever seen!" Grow up girl! Trying speaking like an adult.

(My attempt to talk to wushuchik in the type of language she might understand)

"As for the rest of your drivel well! Ha! Ha! Ha! you talk sh-it, and the funny thing is you know you talk sh-it too!
And everybody thats reads this will see that you talk & write sh-it, so quit flapping your jaw and go get layed! If that dump big mouth of yours don't put off every man alive."

C.................

[KC Elbows]

Well, who said chivalry is dead?

[wushu chik]

You are the pathetic piece of sh!t that can't hand the fact that you DO walk thru life with blinders on. While i GROW UP..why don't you WAKE UP. You know...it's pretty impressive that you say i sound like a teenager shouting about nail polish, but you are the idiot that comes on here and get's all ****ed off about a joke!! WHO'S JUVENILE?? Give me a break. Let go, and get on with life...and again...if you didn't think anything like THIS could happen to our country...YOU ARE THE JUVENILE MORON!!

[NorthernMantis]

I still say the Fish offended me:D

[KC Elbows]

Yeah, down with Fish!!!:D

[Fish of Fury]

I'd just like to say that I am evil incarnate. I eat small children for breakfast , own all of Hitlers' paintings and am single handedly responsible for the Spice Girls!

I suck, and should be punished!
I have never seen anything so horrendous in all my life as the vile filth I perpetrate on this forum.

Oh, and I regularly offend NorthernMantis...
