Oh please. Let's not get so politically correct that we can't even tell a joke around here. I've seen plenty of stuff on here that is probably offensive to some group or other. Just try to keep a sense of humor. -- Joke Board

In reply to: Pat 's message, "I'm sorry, but I don't think this is funny. I think in today's political context, this "joke" fuels prejudice in associating Muslims with terrorists. Maybe there's a cultural reference I don't "get", if that's the case would someone please explain? Sorry, I don't mean to offend anyone, but I am rather disturbed by this." on 10:30:33 02/02/08 Sat

Mari, there's no problem with telling jokes and most jokes are okay. I think if anyone feels uncomfortable then they also have the right to express those feelings. Respect for everyone is as important here as on all the other boards. As with other jokes that may be off colour or offensive to a particular race (please remeber this board is visited by more than just Americans), then perhaps the joke should be posted inside with a note that it is politically inclined.

- Most of the jokes here are "off colour" - that's what makes them funny! By the way, Americans come in all colors, races, and creeds. Your blond joke below might be offensive to those of us who are blond, but I don't want you to put it inside with a warning "blond joke inside". Same way with jokes about old people, etc. That's what I mean about not being too politically correct that we can't laugh. (NT) -- Mari L., 13:34:04 02/02/08 Sat
- Thank you, Keira. Mari, I understand how you feel, too. This joke crossed MY line - maybe you have a line of your own that you don't like to be crossed. Maybe you don't. Sorry if my comment seemed inappropriate to you. (NT) -- Pat, 21:22:34 02/02/08 Sat
