Well i'm one of the people that contributed in the 'dog' joke & may well have been responsible for having it taken off!
I used a play on words when refering to 'muzzles', cos that's what u sometimes do to dogs.
I am not a 'racist' but enjoy telling jokes & having jokes poked at me to which i 'laugh' cos they're a 'joke'
Jokes are told around the world (taking the mickey out of fellow countymen & women) and many many people are paid a fortune telling them.
At home in the UK we have 4 countries - England, Scotland, Ireland & Wales with each taking the p*ss out of each other without World War 4 taking place when mentioned in discussion forums!!
Nickbat made a comment regarding race, creed, diseases, height etc. - Well u missed out the 'JEWS' & i'm highly offended  >:(

Why?? Cos i'm Jewish!! We are a small 'minority' of approx 250,000 in the Uk & i've generations of family that have & are living in England and i've never complained about anti-semitism (against Jews). We as a race have been persecuted for centuries but now Israel as a State stands for no nonsense.

I've posted jokes on this forum about mine & other peoples religion without people making comments apart from how funny the jokes have been!

As soon as some-one mentions 'm*slims' its Politically Incorrect - why?? I don't take any offence whatsoever when people poke fun at us Jews ...... i just join in cos i've a sense of humour & after all it's freedom of speech - well it used to be!!!!

So unless some-one is poking fun at u personally, get off your high horse, cos this particular topic was about buying a dog which led to a few jokes & quips. Racism NEVER came into the discussion!!  :-X

By the way did i ever tell u all the joke about the Jew, Christian & the Non-Conformist ........................  ;D ;D ;D

eliteomegaman - i dont know if thats the same joke, the joke i found offensive was one comparing black people to dogs.....i'm genuinely sickened by the amount of people on this forum actually defending it  :(

i don't quite know how being a normal decent human being who finds racist filth unfunny somehow makes me a politically correct totalitarian, maybe someone could point this out, thanks  :-?

Can't remember seeing anything about comparing black people to dogs, so it wasn't me. I was in the middle of composing a reply to a complaint from 'one' person about being racist & by the time i tried to post it (10mins + later) the link had been cut!
People aren't defending 'outright racism' but telling jokes about race, creed etc in a tongue-in-cheek way is meant to be amusing, comical & humorous & not supposed to be malicious!
My friends are always coming out with 'you are as tight as a Jews a*rse' or 'your as much use as a bacon sandwich at a Jewish wedding' or 'the reason you have a big nose is cos the air's free'. I laugh with them, i certainley don't find it offensive!!
I'm not defending 'racist filth' & don't think this is a place for it but as i said before i would certainley be the first to take the 'mickey' out of my own religion if i find it funny.
Far too much PC is put in force in this country because the hierarchy BELIEVE its the correct decision to take when in reality its like a red flag to a bull & makes a mockery to immigrants who would rather keep a low profile rather than being hated for something that's out of their control - case in hand at the moment is the flying of England flags for the forth coming World Cup which is being banned cos 'it MIGHT offend immigrants'  >:(

Or banning the word 'black' - black sheep etc

Or taking 'Pepper Pig' off the tv cos 'it MIGHT offend Muslims' - hang on a minute what about Jews? No cos we don't find pigs offensive we just don't eat them & don't make a MEAL of it!  :D

I could go on & on & on but all i'll do is bore myself!  :-X

They'll wipe out ANYONE that disrespects them  ;)

There's an unwritten rule at the White House which requests Israel to fone them first if they want to go on a bombing raid (cud take up to a week for a decision to be reached) so the Israelis tend to suffer from Alzheimers & fone them AFTER the air-raid! Israel answer to Israelis, end of!

We all like a bit of fun every now and again, whether thats a laugh at ourselves, or a non offensive laugh at someone else.

Thing is, there is a difference between scratching your arse, and tearing it to bits.  Those that can't tell that difference will find they might not be welcome here.

End of discussion - rear the bloody rules, that should give everyone an idea of the kind of behaviour expected here. If it doesn't, I respectfully suggest you book yourself into an institution.
