Go read Chumley's thread then come back here and spend your time digging at people who were just having a laugh at a joke (no doubt you will say at someone elses expense) but hey ho if you want to have a dig about me - I'm an Essex girl - so used to the jokes - then go ahead cos making someone smile is worth it - and the best thing about life is being able to laugh at yourself - whoever you are or where ever you are from. I'm sure at some point in all of our lives we will laugh or mock someone that somebody else thinks is wrong but having different opinions is what makes the world goes round ............

I agree with you that its nice to have a laugh and a joke however racism and homophobia is no joke especially for victims of hate crime. I have read many funny posts on this forum and none of them are racist or homophobic. Everybody has different taste in humour. I dont think anyone was having a dig at you. You and some others became defensive when it was pointed out that the content some were laughing at was racist and homophobic. Mocking someone because of their race or sexuality is wrong. Something you see as a joke might be seen differently by others. :)
Although i'm still waiting for the smokers out their to comment on the fact that they can't smoke in Ontario - or was that who the joke was actually aimed at ? |

They do say sarcasam is the lowest form of wit.........
Finger pointing at minorities (or majorities) and toilet humour are lower. |

You mean you smoked a cigarette ?
<sigh> The point being that in the context of smoking cigarettes, "fag" is a British slang. We're British. In the context of the original cartoon, fag is used ambivalently both in that context and as a perjorative towards gay couples. The intended audience is not obvious, but I suppose a certain group of ignorant Brits might find it titillating. |
Re: For al those thinking of going to Ontario!
You can smoke anywhere in Canada, you just can't exhale.
