Lets try this again.

What did Dave say that was so bad? 'Godless sodomites?' Jeez. I'm sorry, but BFD.

Maybe you're just too proximal to the Rainbow Metrop, but that is one of the tamest jokes I've heard about San Fran.

[Samurai Waki]

meh. your probably right about Kaiser, but thats why we love him. This place would be lame if someone didn't have a suggestion to impose martial law on gay guys every now and then.

I personally don't care. I think they should move it to Seattle.

[Goofball]

Not that. Everyone's entitled to make a gay joke when San Fransisco is brought into discussion.

[SARCASM ON]Just curious: does that mean that everybody is also entitled to make a gay joke every time the Catholic Church is brought into discussion?

Or how about a n***** joke every time fried chicken or watermelon is brought into the conversation?

And maybe we should give free reign to "retard" jokes every time the Special Olympics are brought up?[/SARCASM OFF]

You know what, I have an alternative proposal: How about we say that making jokes about any group based on race, sexual orientation, religion or physical disability is hurtful and only promotes divisive, degrading stereotypes, so those types of jokes should probably be avoided.

Just a thought.

Jeez. Lighten up. I have lots of gay friends from San Fran and they make even harsher jokes about the city than we do.

And I know black folks who make n***** jokes, but that doesn't make those jokes any less despicable.

[Proletariat]

Sometimes it makes them funnier.

[Goofball]

Impossible. Racist jokes are never funny. They're just mean.

[Proletariat]

Eh, whatever floats your boat, Goof. From Don Rickles to Dave Chappelle, I think there's alot of funny comedians who sometimes use racial issues as material.

But, if it bothers you, who am I to say anything?

What's better than winning the gold medal in the Special Olympics?

DD, with the old classic.

Dammit, beaten to the punchline, sort of...

I'm glad I headed you off at the pass Dave, because I wanted to make sure that you didn't post the punchline to that joke, which I have heard before and find extremely insensitive and heartless. I have a family member with a severe mental disability, so I really don't see any humor in "retard" jokes. They are not, as Proletariat described yours, "classic." They are just good old-fashioned mean.

Thanks for not following through with it.

Don't you think you are being a bit overly sensitive? Afterall, you continuosly berate the mental capacity of the President of the United States and many members of this forum. Kind of hypocritical don't you think? Of course you don't, since its only offensive if YOU don't agree with it, very typical.

[Proletariat]

What if Dave had a family member with a poor mental capacity?

[Goofball]

What if Dave had a family member with a poor mental capacity?

Then he would already know that telling jokes about the mentally handicapped is mean, and I wouldn't be having this conversation with him.

[Proletariat]

Every single person here who cracked a San Fran joke has at least one gay relative, including me.

I'll never understand how anyone can fly off the handle simply because someone else said a few words. If I was that sensitive about anything I thought I might have an apopleptic emotional response over, I'd at least try to hide it by under reacting and not dole out the satisfiction to the person. But, that's me.

Although I won't understand, hope you're not too mad, Goof.
