nubain1 0 #1 January 30, 2003 I know that I might have offended alot of people with the jew joke and if so I apologise.But I know from family history what the camps were like in Germany as I had family that spent time in them. My great grandfather came here from Germany right after the war. He died when I was about 10.So I had tales of what it was like first hand from someone that was there.I had several family members that were there.It was not only jewish people that spent their last days in the camps, it was also gypsies(my family),homosexuals,muslims, and anybody else that was differant from the ideal.IF I offended,I'm sorry. I won't post again. I'm able to joke about something that directly affected my own family.It's funny that people make jokes about blacks,indians,homosexuals etc and that's ok.But mention something about jewish people and WWII and people get bent out of shape.Nobody ever says anything about the white mans attempt of genocide against the indians.But they never contributed anything worthy did they? So I guess genocide is ok in that sense.And what about black people? I guess it's ok to joke about them too right?I just moved from a place where they are still trying to fight the cival war and alot of people still believe in slavery.But you can joke about them and it's ok.And the amount of gay jokes out there are even worse.they've been persucuted through ouot all of history. But again it's ok to joke about them.I thought this was a group of openminded people that did'nt go for all the PC bs but I guess I was wrong.SO dont' worry to keep from possibly offending anybody again this will be my last post.Hell I might just get out of skydiving altogether and sell my rig so I won't offend anybody with what I decided to buy to jump with.So on that note....So long and thanks for all the fish.

jessd 0 #6 January 30, 2003 Anyway - as I said in my PM that I was just stating my opinion about the joke. In all actuality maybe I should have just kept my personal opinion to myself and taken it for what it was - being that it was posted in the bad jokes thread. Regardless, I thought that my stated opinion would have gone unnoticed under all of the other posts in thread. It was not my intention to spark some sort of discussion/debate about what should or shouldn't be considered offensive to people. I'm sure that I have made jokes/comments to my friends that in apublic forum would have been considered offensive to on person or another. Anyway - that's the last I will say about that. No lasting offense taken. "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away..." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For those that aren't - HHGG, Restaurant at the End of the Universe (for me, I have the hardback compendium of all books, it's on page 306). The answer is 42, and the question is "What do you get when you multiply 6 by 9?" The fact that the answer is wrong, and it took millions of years to compute is part of the joke.Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
