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...
