What I don't get is why they refer to each other with the N word. Why is it only ok when they say it and not when we say it? Not even when it is in jest.

It shouldn't ever be used anyway, I hate that word and I have never said it in my life.

Re: For al those thinking of going to Ontario!
 
I take offence to Irish jokes, not impressed by them at all. But then again that's because I am Irish. Why should my children and I permit and accept being stupified en masse. When you consider just how wide spread and highly influential the Irish culture has been throughout the world, how many senior executives in big corporations were Irish in a survey a few years ago and how the Celtic tiger economic model encapsulated a booming and vibrant economy even though it's a country with a deep and troubled history, then no, I don't find Irish jokes at all funny, and find the people that laugh them just as futile. I just wish that they could be removed from a nationality, because on their own they stand quite well, but when used as a tool of racial slur, then no, they leave me quite uneasy.

The black people of America decided to reclaim the N word due it being a previous word that embraced racial hatred and oppression. So they felt by reclaiming the word and owning it as a term themselves that they would end up taking the power and meaning of the word from the white people who used it as a form of offence.

Act1980, I think you are lovely and you have made me a giggle more than once, but I think that you may benefit from widening your reading or maybe attending a little more education at some point, that sounds offensive and I don't mean it to be, but you may find it useful.

I laugh at blonde jokes and I am naturally blonde. But each to their own. I am not racist in anyway, never have been. But I do like a good laugh!
I do think things get blown out of proportion though. I also have a gay friend and he would find the joke posted on here very funny. But like I say, each to their own, not everyone is going to find the same things offensive and vice versa.

How come this is so difficult?

<sighs again>

I don't think anyone has suggested a gay person would mind being called gay. Particularly because by choosing this word instead of some of the other adjectives you list you are demonstrating some respect for the dignity of the person you are describing.

However, fag is not a description. It is an insult. It is used denigrate, to cause hurt, to isolate and ostracize someone. It is a word that carries a great deal of baggage in North America, none of it good. These are no circumstances where any decent person would use this word. The only people who do are poisonous, odious, hate filled low life who are struggling near the bottom of the evolutionary chain.

I assume that you are fairly new to North America so didn't know this. Hopefully I have saved you from making a fool of yourself, or much worse.

As for the rest of your post, you can do better than that, can't you?

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.


I am not prejudice never have been in fact when i was over last year i couldnt beleive the things the canadian were saying :eek:

didnt say it was hilarious just funny, wouldnt be allowed here

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.


Agree

I have just returned from a town in the Dominican Republic (Samana) where it was pathetic to watch sick animals dying in the streets. I also lived in Africa for eight years where I watched people living in similar in circumstances, and more.

Liberals are nothing more than fence-sitters who think they have all of the answers but live in a world where they talk about trivialities, like yourself, to keep themselves in the limelight but really achieve nothing.

Don't you have a better cause to champion? The point is, the guy made a stupid joke but there are more serious things in the World to worry about.
