EXCELLENT!!!!!:p

Re: For al those thinking of going to Ontario!
 

It is only funny, well mildly amusing at best, if you think it is OK to call a homosexual man a fag. Would you call him that to his face?

And, before you all jump on the "PC gawn mad" bandwagon, there is a difference between being PC and treating people with a modicum of decency and respect.

As far as I am concerned, anyone who thinks this sort of "humour" is funny is a bit of a ****.

Re: For al those thinking of going to Ontario!
 

Without wishing to seem rude, your opinion, at least in my case...is wholly irrelevant.....:cool:

I knew it wouldnt be long before some came along !!!!!!!!

Re: For al those thinking of going to Ontario!
 

jonboy , get a sense o humour for gods sake :zzz:

Re: For al those thinking of going to Ontario!
 

Agree, why does everything have to be so serious and Politallily correct thats how the uk got in a mess

Re: For al those thinking of going to Ontario!
 

In my experience the people who complain about political correctness are the ones who are looking for excuses to peddle their petty prejudices.

I have obviously been in Canada for so long that I am losing the famous "British Sense of Humour". So, perhaps you can help me out and explain why calling someone a fag is so hilarious.

Re: For al those thinking of going to Ontario!
 

Maybe this one is a little less offense:D

Re: For al those thinking of going to Ontario!
 

Sorry, I fail to see the connection.....:blink:...but then again I'm on my 5th beer:thumbup:

Re: For al those thinking of going to Ontario!
 

Nobody is being called a fag. I don't approve of calling someone a fag.
But I do recognise that it is a term used.

So accepting that it is a term used, albeit not an acceptable term, I can still see the humour in the sign that highlights marrying someone of the same sex is a relatively new concept and by no means common, whereas the smoking of a cigarette is extremely common but is now greatly frowned upon and restricetd.

It's quite funny.

Re: For al those thinking of going to Ontario!
 

So I am not alone in the real world? Extremely gratifying....:cool:

"Our Prices are Sofa King low" - made me chuckle.

Re: For al those thinking of going to Ontario!
 

I guess that means you don't laugh at blonde jokes or Irish ones, or jokes about women?

Re: For al those thinking of going to Ontario!
 

The difference is that a blonde joke typically contains a punch line that depends on knowing that blondes are stupid, arguably that's demeaning to blondes but the point is the punch line. There's no joke in the link posted, it's just insult, hate speech if you will. There's no word for blondes that's specifically insulting in the same way as "fag", "nigger" or "paki" is insulting to the target and that's why blonde jokes can be used in Canada while homophobic or racist terms cannot.

Mind, I put this more succintly upthread.

Re: For al those thinking of going to Ontario!
 

First off, a joke needs to be funny.

Would I laugh at a joke about a woman? Of course, if it was funny. Would I laugh at joke about a woman where the woman was only referred to in derogatory terms like bitch or slag? No.

Re: For al those thinking of going to Ontario!
 

I guess if you read the bible, Im sure its not politically correct to marry the same sex.

Re: For al those thinking of going to Ontario!
 

Well it was just a joke!! I thought it was funny, I think people just need to lightne up. I have been called worse but hey ho!!:)

Re: For al those thinking of going to Ontario!
 

Hear, hear, it was just a bit of Friday afternoon humour to make people chuckle after a long week at work, you know the Friday feeling.......

Re: For al those thinking of going to Ontario!
 

Is it a good idea to get married to anyone from Ontario whatever sex :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Re: For al those thinking of going to Ontario!
 

I think you need a sense of humour transplant as obviously you have none.

The joke is, its a play on words, a fag in the US is a homosexual, a fag in the UK is a cigarette, funny, see, gettit.... ?? obviously not.. (not gay are you?.. probably not as a someone gay would also see the funny side)..

Fag in the US is a term for being gay, a queer, limp wristed.. why would a gay person be offended for being called ... erm... gay ??

I can honestly say mate, you have a problem.
