Haha quality. I'd like to see another one of those...
"Let's not turn this surprise sex into a ????."
"Because the last time I ????? someone, it turned into a murder."
I see your subtle way of getting around blocked words is to just post a picture with them in

Not sure about that... Maybe you need to concentrate harder in future. Perhaps if there was some kind of camp you could go to where they help you learn to concentrate better. Could call it Camp Concentration or something.
Probably never catch on though.

I have the enviable position of a Jewish mother, and as such have been privy to many, many jokes on the subject. Too many people try and forget these events, but if you forget your past, you are only likely to repeat your mistakes in the future.
My favourite ever Jewish joke, since it's fairly harmless and relies on pretty basic stereotypes has always been...
What is a Jewish person's biggest dilemma?
Free Pork.
The rest of them are in no way appropriate!

My position on jokes is that either everything is fair game or nothing is.
I am in no way shape or form anti-semitic. I am a big supporter of our alliance with Israel and would even enlist to fight if someone invaded them.
That being said, I like jokes. If anything it keeps the memory of the event alive. My holocaust jokes are never at the expense of the Jewish people, they are about the Nazis and the concept of making genocide an industrialized process.
So sorry if you are offended, but I am not sorry for making the jokes.

I am not at all, and I take the same view in that too many people pick and choose. "Oh that's hilarious, but that's unacceptable!" Wherein what they found hilarious, may well insult someone else, and likewise what they think is unacceptable, may be fine for a great many people.
However, as you have said, there is of course a line, and a point at which sensitivity must be used. It is fine to tell a joke, but it also means being able to accept that if it offends someone, you can apologise (as you have actually done despite me not being offended).
I merely mean in regards to not being appropriate, that I would not post the rest on a public forum. I find them funny, but they are rude, and for telling to people in private. There's humour, there's maturity, and there's knowing when to combine the two
Unless it's about a ginger person, since they have no souls.

I would also point out though, that there has grown a culture of no responsibility for saying things. The 'banter' if you will of people like Richard Keys and Andy Gray. Of football thugs or genuine sexists/racists/misogynists.
The "calm down love, it's only a bit of bantaaaa"
Well, if in that instance the person has been offended, then you apologise. You take responsbility for what you said regardless of what you intended to say. In appreciating that everything can potentially be funny, one must also accept that not everything is funny to everyone.
Pretty sure I'm posting in the wrong thread with that.
Err... random thought...
I, for a laugh, read a cricket 2007 download thread the other day. I was bored, and they seem to take up 75% of the page when you click 'new posts.'
Let's just say I was not impressed haha

Good lord no. The last thing we need is them breeding haha

I agree, there is a fine line but I'm not responsible for the idiots who don't see it.
It's like when the movie Borat came out some people saw it for what it was, a comment on how absurd antisemitism is, but a whole lot of morons saw it and thought "yea fearsome tweak the jews"

Quite, in cases of satire, people will always miss the point. It's been that way for years.
I remember reading a Jonathan Swift piece, in which he rather brilliantly describes how to solve the problem in Ireland at the time. He essentially suggest, with absolute deadpan seriousness, that we should consider eating them, including ways of cooking them, preparing them etc...
Of course, the morons took it as fact, and the liberals as disgusting
The people who wake up everyday and find reasons to live, and reasons to laugh, they almost certainly found it hilarious.

The original dead baby joke lol.

Picked up a copy of God is Not Great, that is my holiday reading.
