I posted a joke on the board earlier and I would like to know from anyone who will reply if they believe it to be offensive. While I personally didn't think it was out of line I got (I think) three comments from people who sounded as if they were offended by it. The thread is The Fire Chief Said....?. Is it offensive, yes or no?

Jokes, especially racist ones, can often be offensive for a portion of the audience. Can be. So to say the joke is offensive or even mildly offensive doesn't necessarily mean the joke is problematic.

Personally, I think the matter is more of whether or not it's funny. This one not so much, but credit to you my friend for your effort.

Wnat appears to be of even graver concern at this moment is...

Who the fuck is this Jameson character all of a sudden and...

OMG... Snopes?

As a reference?

Give your head a shake bud.

Anyway, James my friend. You're jokes are no worse than mine.

When I read it, I got so mad I thought about grabbing my axe and going into the local forest and chopping down all the endangered trees there where the spotted owls live, and stomping on all the endangered flowers.

Then I was going to go to the city zoo and start setting all the animals free. So I could hunt them.

Finally I was going to blow up a tanker full of crude oil in the harbor so my neighbors would be able to empathize with me in knowing how angry an frustrated I felt about your joke.

But I don't know if that qualifies as "offended". Maybe you should be more specific??

I would not say I was offended I just didn't get the line of the joke that's all.

Well, at first I was thinking that two or maybe three people took offense (and you were one of them). So now I can take you off the offended list.

i thought the punch line was funny. when i grew up people werent worried about if racial jokes were offensive. theyre just jokes, big deal.

That's what I thought too--it's a joke, just like I told Obama's sycophant, Jameson. And can you imagine going to snopes to check on anything, let alone whether a JOKE is "real" or not? LOL! That right there is even funnier than the original joke that sent him on that chase.

No, it isn't offensive. Sharpton & Jackson are offensive and to use absurdity to underline their racial biases against whites is fair game. To anyone who is offended, you should have been NYC when Sharpton caused a near riot with his Tawana Brawley caper, and Jackson his Hymietown slur.

It appears that while it may not be unanimous the general consensus is that it was not offensive. Whether it was all that funny or not, well, people have different ideas about what is funny.

Nope, Sharpton went on to compound the lie by claiming that the DA of the county involved actually raped Brawley. That this street agitator is taken seriously is prima facie evidence of the MSM's racial, anti white (male) agenda.

I know all about the health codes from my early years in the PD. When we knew a restaurant was dirty (as in involved in heavy criminal activity) we'd make sure there wasn't any soap in the bathroom when we checked. And as Walter Cronkite was fond of saying, "....and that's the way it (was)"....

LOL! So I can put you in the "may have been offended category but need more information to know for sure"?

Exactly. For example, you didn't say what color the house was.

On a serious note though, the ethnic differences between whites, blacks, asians hispanics, etc are real -- every ethnicity is different, of course. Otherwise we wouldn't have the term. Here in Ecuador, there's a much more profound difference between the indigenous (indian) population and the Latinos/whites. They are shorter and smaller, and as a rule are probably less intelligent, though whether that's due to genetics or because they generally grow up on farms and learn to grow crops and nothing else, I don't know. Raising an indian baby in an academic environment may well give you as smart a kid as any other.

I do respect them though. Ecuador really owes it's existence to the indigenous people because they are the ones feeding the country. They work hard and are not slackers, and their communities out in the country enforce their own code of ethics & laws sometimes. But here, I've come to appreciate the *real* differences between ethnicities that in my earlier years in the USA I didn't think existed.

Truth is Treason in the Empire of Lies

"Don't Tread on Me", originally a war cry of Benjamin Franklin during America's fight for independence, has come to symbolize the American spirit. It first appeared on the Gadsen flag (named for and by General Christopher Gadsen) which featured the slogan below a coiled rattlesnake that was ready to attack. The snake (along with the slogan) came to symbolize America as an animal that would never strike first, but when provoked, would never give in. Today, it also symbolizes and celebrates personal independence and perseverance.

I will never forget back when the Bush/Gore election was being contested in Florida and Jesse went down there to stir up whatever trouble he could some guy on FR made one of the funniest posts. He said he could just see Jesse running around in circles, hands over his head, and yelling "We been disenfrenchfried, we been disenfrenchfried!" LOL!
