    I don't want to be embroiled in this controversial discussion, I have my own opinion on the issue of racism and anything remotely close to it.
    Every body is entitled to have freedom of thought and speech, and whatever sense of humour they were born with, or developed at later stages in life.
    I can see the humour in the jokes posted on that website, I can also see the inner sadness of the people that actually might have contributed to it.
    I am Italian, I get my own share of italian jokes thrown at me, but i am not offended, and do not retaliate. What would be the point???

    But just think about one little thing....

    If we on this website of ours, kindly organized by Keith, and free of charge, were racists....

    Why the hell would we want to marry Pinays???


    Because we obviously rose from the boundaries of racism, bigotry and ignorance.

    Inwardly laughing at some disreputable jokes doesn't make us racists.
    Ok, I do admit, some people might find them offensive and tasteless. But what about white jokes, polish jokes, Irish jokes, scouse, manc, geordie, essex birds, disabled, or whathaveyou???
    We all like a giggle at someone else's expense, it is human nature, you cannot get away from it. It is in YOU wether you like it or not.

    And in regard to the "Jews are stingy so as they have no right to have their own country?"
    The place they live now Israel, was called " PALESTINE" until 1948. But i think that is another topic.

    I am not racist in any way shape or form, I use my intelligence to weigh the various issues, not trendy political correctness, and make my own conclusions... And if I see a funny side in any situation, I will giggle or laugh, regardless if I am at a funeral or anywhere else.

    Enough for today, I just woke up...

    I will very much appreciate if anyone can enlighten me on where the humour lies in those jokes as I fail to see it.

    No one says that Keith &c are racist...If my comment sounds like I am accusing anyone here of being a racist, I ask for an apology, my concern is beyond that, it is easy to point out fingers than to analyze things.

    I beg to differ, it is not my human nature to giggle at someone else's expense and I would like to discuss that human nature further. (time permitted)

    Philistine and Israelites is another matter which needs a more deep understanding to be able to discussed it.
    The use of intelligence should be also associated with the use of our sensibility...hence, that makes us different from other animals. I repeat, I do not condemn jokes as I stated in my previous posts, I condemn those offensive jokes as I don't find any humour in it and I condemn the propaganda of it. As I am also entitled of the freedom of speech, freedom of opinion and freedom of choice this is what my ignorant mind is able to concieve .

    I can't think of many funny things that don't! Most comedies are based on someone's expense, comedians would have nothing to say otherwise.....and we'd all be just like Paris Hilton

    I suppose you don't find Chubby Brown funny either ....he's only offensive if you name is Fanny

    " I beg to differ, it is not my human nature to giggle to someone's expense" -I would like to precise that there are many kind of jokes and my words refers as I don't giggle if I saw someone dead with a stick in his ass or whichever jokes that contained or at the same level of offensiveness.


    I don't know Chubby Brown... but my name is "Fanny"(joke)

    Jokes fall into these basic types.
    1. Misunderstanding
    2. Misfortune/Cruelty/Slapstick
    3. Wordplay
    4. Status - Fall from status or rapid rise
    5. Stupidity
    6. Surreal/Tangential
    7. Exaggeration
    8. Sarcasm/Satire/Parody
    As a test, see how you get on with these

    oh peanutz you should know your own countries history, the spanish, americans and japs have invaded your country, mudered your own people, my own mother has been forced to live under russian and nazi rule, she was only a school girl when the nazis invaded her country, and they burnt the lithuanian books and made all the kids learn and speak german, by the end of the war, 1/3 of all the people who lived in the baltic states were dead.


    i'am all for a jewish state, but not in palistine, why dont their friends the americans give them land in america, iam sure the yanks wouldnt like it if someone invaded thier country, kicked them out of their home.. just as my mother and her parents lost thier home.

    i might laugh at the jokes, but iam still offended by them, and it shows how stupid iam. but then we all learn from our mistakes. death is part of life, you can laugh at it or not, but one thing for certain we will all die

    i laugh at everything, and everyone, and no one is a better person than me because i do, and i'll die laughing with me boots on.. have you heard the joke about a scouser who ....................

    You got to admit it, they are nice scouse jokes, and some of them, I haven't heard before.
    I suppose you can change the theme to cover mancs as well, but I am not so sure that the shell suit for the bride would apply there...
    Really, in all seriousness, humour, however black, comes natural to people, to make adversities seem more manageable. Laughing in the face of bad luck I suppose. What is the point of sitting there and feeling sorry for yourself... And manc and scousers have had more than their fair share of s**t over the years. Long years of neglect, high unemployment and poverty... And if they have learnt to laugh at all that misfortune , well, I take my hat off to them.

    But Liverpool ... Capital of Culture 2008...
    This must be a joke, right???
    Why is it that i don't get it???

    i dont have any religion, which makes me no better or worse than any one who does, i had a laugh on friday, when a muslim i work with, said he was off to the mosque to pray, and when asked what for, he said 'so nothnig bad happens to me', well how selfish . i went to a church of england school, mom was a jehovah wittness and my dad a cathloic, so me iam none , we should learn from our mistakes, some dont, Mr bush for one, 3,500 dead soilders on his Conscience? and what about the 1000's of dead iraqis. wisdom, but what you find offensive, other might not and visa versa. oh iam more at peace than most on here, i've seen enough , and it makes you a better person, or it will break you, and laughter is the best medicine..

    good your trying to make a difference, but when a wise man was asked ' whats the secret to life?' he said ' what is, is ' so true ..

    you cannot change the world, or force your beliefs on others, only yourself, and no one is perfect, from a veggy left wing manc who still has faith in mankind.

    I cannot change the world and force my beliefs to others and that I am aware of, but I do believe in doing good things to other, I do try and make a difference for I understand that in my imperfection and limited power it is my duty to contribute for a better world to my children.
    I have not had the opportunity to asked a wiseman but I will do let you know if ever I encounter him (joke*)

    well there is no point in asking a scouser, as there are no wise scousers, and you could waste a life time looking for one..

    good your trying to make a difference, most people are just too , my aim is to leave this place a better place than i found it.

    If that is all she called you, you got off lightly...

    Personally I would have added..

    ""Tight fisted ""

    Among other things.... Which are not for publication on the site...

    Let's face it... It is hardly something to alleviate homesickness...

    Well, at least you bought it.... More than what a scouser would have done...
