When you see something funny that isn't trying to be funny not on this forum post them here.
I just saw somebody on another forum write "WTH!?!" At first I thought it was a typo, then I realised it was being polite. "What the heck" instead of "What the fuck".
lol

Isn't that the soon to be departed member of the Democrats...Natasha Stott Despoja? Or however you spell her last name.
The Democrats make me laugh...such a good idea, but they have failed so badly. I wish they were still a proper party, we need a third party....
-
Yeah Natasha Stott Despoja rocks. You might notice a trend in my avatars - Major Michael Mori, Barnaby Joyce, Natash Stott Despoja. All people involved in Australia politics who have demonstrated a great amount of integrity.
The democrats make me cry. I think they were a good party until the GST came along - Meg Lees destroyed the party.
-
Turncoat! Not as bad as Cheryl 'Turncoat' Kernot, or so she was called.
I wish they were a viable party...I'd probably vote for them. Independants are fine...but too narrow focussed.
Is there already an Australian Politics thread? Don't want to clog up this one if there is another.
-
For some reason, even though I visit the forums at Control+Alt+Delete (Web comic) a lot (every day at least), every time I look at the top of the forums, it makes me laugh, because there's a picture of Ethan (the 'protagonist' in the comic strips), saying, "Welcome to the forums. Play nice or we'll kill you."
It makes me laugh every time I look at it...So horribly blunt.

This isn't a topic for jokes.
When you see something funny that isn't trying to be funny not on this forum post them here.
Although I guess those jokes aren't really trying to be funny but just make it clear that the teller is a racist incase anybody wasn't aware.
-
man i know u've got mixed heritage (by this i mean that i understand if u r sensitive to racism), but these jokes do not hurt anyone visting this forum. if you can name one aboriginal that has ever visited this forum then i will be an incredibly embaressed and repenting guy...but the fact is that there isn't one.
i have many asian, indian, european, and even an american friend...im no racist. i always give coins to beggars, no matter wat race, ESPECIALLY if they're aboriginal.
get over urself man, not every white boy is a redneck racist. these jokes were in jest, to a minority which i can guarentee will never visit this site...argue all u want about equality and such, the fact is aboriginals will never be able to gain the resources to visit this site becos the government couldnt give a shit, and those who can afford to would not come to a flat earth society forum anyway.
i wasn't trying to incite some goddam race riot

In my experience most racists don't think they're racist. But I think you should look at the size of my response compared with your response. If I thought it was a big deal I would have written a lot more than one line.
You are right, I'm very sensitive to racism and I point it out whenever I see it. I don't think people who have not experienced genuine directed racism understand why it's so wrong or they wouldn't make jokes about it or complain that positive discrimination is racism. You could definitely view my views on racism as personal scars from trauma when I was young and that could be the case. I fully accept that maybe my emotional reaction to racism is over the top and stems from my personal problems relating to racism. You can choose to respect the way I feel or not. I do know that if you keep posting racist comments I'll keep calling you racist. It's like that topic about pedophiles. You clearly have an emotional response to that topic because of events that have happened in your life and I've respected that and stopped posting in the topic even though I disagreed with what you had to say (that the topic should be locked). I'm happy to respect the way you feel about that. When you make racist posts, I feel the same way as you feel when you perceive people are defending pedophilia.

OMG THATS RACIST!!
I'm not racist. My best friend is black! And I'm not a homophobe--a lot of my good friends are gay! I don't mind it as long as they don't hit on me or anything!!!! LOL!
(By the way, that was a small paragraph of some the most bigoted, offensive phrases I've ever heard--including the "LOL")

u guys take shit way to seriously, go eat sum rice chinaman

You're an idiot. Your defence could be used as a description FOR racism. I can only hope the internet connection to Mt Druitt is cut sometime soon, to save us from your ridiculous views.
-
i don't understand why everyone is getting so upset over jokes that have nothing to do with them? and then when i try to defend myself from personal attacks, when i myself was not being personal...i get even more criticism?
lol, my views are not ridiculous, they are the views of basically every australian...never heard an asian or indian telling an aboriginal joke?!?!
oh, and also thanks to all those people who PM'ed me telling me that they thought the jokes were funny, it was much appreciated...pity that not everyone holds the same views

why did u write aboriginal with a capital A, and autralian with a lower case? im a racist and i find it offensive that u put aboriginals above the true australians. :roll:

It has everything to do with us if you're telling people all AUstralians are stupid racists. Your jokes are mildly amusing, until I realised that you actually believe this on the inside. Interesting that people chose to PM you to tell you the jokes were funny - clearly not as open about their racist hate as you are... or they don't exist....

This just further serves my point.
-
I don't think it's worth arguing this point with Woopedazz. We're not going to manage to change his views - he's definitely not going to change ours. The fact is that there are a lot of racists not just in Australia, but in the world and they just will never get it. My policy is always to tell people that they're racist but if they're too narrow minded to understand why then I have never managed to show them why they're wrong and it's not worth the effort. I always just remember that regardless of how well they understand racism, they have so little respect for how I feel that they're really not worth worrying about at all.
-
Who's that in your avatar, Rick?
-
I PM'ed him saying I thought his jokes were funny, because they were, I think PC has gone way too far in the world today. I make racial jokes everyday, I balance it out by targeting pretty much everyone... but that is entirely beside the point, people need to take humor as humor and nothing else.
-
I think there is a balance that hasn't been reached in terms of how pc things are. Certainly there are times where PC goes too far. I don't think opposing racism has anything to do with it. This is what I mean about people who haven't experienced racism not really being able to comprehend it. In any event, if you're unsure why something is insulting but you've been assured that it is insulting and it doesn't really effect you in anyway then why would you continue to do it?
I also think it's important to think about context. I tell jokes that could be construed as racist jokes at times and I have friends who do too. The difference is that I know that in these cases the people are telling the joke because it's funny to pretend to be a racist - not because we actually find the joke on its own funny - it's the person saying it that makes it funny. Also the jokes I tell are things like; "Like all Jews, you're a racist" - which is funny because it's a racist joke calling people racist. Talking to people you don't know only using text is a completely different thing. If a stranger came up to me and told me a racist joke I would never be friends with them and I might never talk to them again. I can give you an example of this. There was this busker who I saw fairly often on the way to work. I always gave him money and I enjoyed his music. One day I was hanging around near where he was playing and a group of Asian tourists walked past and gave him some money. He became excited and said "Your kind never give me money." - The reason this is racist is because he's seperating people based on their race and he's saying that usually Asian (or Chinese) people never give him money. Since he said that I scowl every time I walk past him and have never given him another cent. I refuse to tolerate racism or racists. When you're writing on internet forums people can only judge you by what you write and they can't know how you felt about what you wrote. So people who right racists things on internet forums are either genuine racists or they're too stupid to know better (which most racists are anyway). The racists I've met would strongly deny that they're racists. Most racists don't actually know what racism is. Whatever. I can't respect people I percieve as racists. If I percieve you as racist and you're not that's just bad luck for you.

It's Rick James, B I T C H! ...But seriously. It's Rick James in his avatar.

Good point.
He became excited and said "Your kind never give me money." - The reason this is racist is because he's seperating people based on their race and he's saying that usually Asian (or Chinese) people never give him money.
He may have been making an observation and didn't know better than to keep his mouth shut. How do you know it isn't true that Asian people generally don't give him money, while other people do?
Since he said that I scowl every time I walk past him and have never given him another cent.
Have you ever told him why you scowl and no longer give him money?
-
pfft, so by making jokes that i tell my asian friends (who laughed very hard mind u) on a forum...makes me a racist... dude wtf?!?! dont take things so personally, ur not the angel of political correctness
obviously i didnt realise that on a forum which gets blasted every day by ppl saying "Ur all fking retarded" there was such a whiner about jokes which had nothing to do with him.
-
Are you saying that being Asian means you can't be racist? Are only white people racists?
You're not telling jokes to your friends on this forum - you're telling them to the general public. There is a huge difference.
-
Asians arent racist, get it in ya head dopey.
-
All Jews are racist.
-
Are you saying that being Asian means you can't be racist? Are only white people racists?
Haha. That is such crap, but for some reason it seems to be the general consensus. Back when I lived in Georgia (and yes, I'm a white boy), I was often automatically labeled as racist just because of my color. Ohhh, the irony.
-
All Jews are racist.
u r fucking with me...
You're not telling jokes to your friends on this forum - you're telling them to the general public. There is a huge difference.

...what the hell?!?!?!

You are the most inconceivably self-righteious person i have ever witnessed... at least i admit my faults, racism not being among them
heres your post about me letting my personal experience on paedophilia victims get in the way of my thinking:
You may have some kind of emotional response on this issue but all that really means is that your views are biased. When we're making decisions that so seriously effect people's lives surely we should make the decision in an objective and rational frame of mind.
in this topic u have a cry about being an asian (i dont understand wats so terrible about it? all my friends seem to cope quite well), and having witnessed racism...how the hell is this different in ANY form from me offering MY personal views in this other topic?!?!
-
Yes, I tried to explain how I stopped posting in that topic to respect how you felt about it and asked you to do the same. You responded with a complete disregard for how I felt and so I lost my respect for you. Pretty childish of me, yes, but I was trying to prove a point. The point is that you might feel like what you're doing is right but if it hurts other people and you don't gain anything from doing it, it might be better not to do it. I don't think racist jokes should be banned and that people who say them should be put in jail. I would actually defend somebodies right to say a racist joke (in an appropriate place) if people did try to ban them. However I'm asking you not to tell them. You don't have to respect me - just as I don't have to respect you. In that the pedophile topic I did respect you when it became clear to me how personal an issue it was for you. Then when in similar circumstances you showed no respect for me, I felt I should make a point about it.
I have plenty of faults and self righteousness is probably one of them. Where in this topic was it relevent for me to admit my faults.
Also I really really hate the way people say "I have Asian friends and they think it's ok for me to whatever. Therefor you should be ok with it too." - This is a racist view - all people of a particular race are not the same. At my school 1 in 20 kids were non white and 1 in 60 kids were Asian. None of the other Asian kids were really in my friendship groups. There is nothing about me that is Asian apart from the fact that my Dad was from Japan. You can't compare people of different races and expect them to act the same and then attack them for not being the same.
My comment about Jews is only funny if you recognise that it's a hypocritical comment. You're racist jokes are completely different. They aren't funny because they're racist - their humour comes from the fact that they're playing on the stereotype of Aborigines being losers etc. My joke doesn't make fun of Jews, it makes fun of racists. I think that's pretty clear.
-
Beast, I must say I agree with you.
-
lesson learnt 8-)
i will try to refrain from telling jokes that i find funny that may offend some people
-

This is definitely true. My friend Derek is German and hates Jews, but that doesn't mean all Germans hate Jews. Heh.
-
Couldn't agree more. Some Muslims hate Jews, but I don't ( damned shame that I never really met one, though), and a lot of other Muslims feel the same.

Now that that's out of the way, perhaps we can return to people posting things that aren't supposed to be funny but that make you laugh

Well, I think it's funny that Derek hates Jews, but that's just me. XD

Hypothetically, I would think it's funny when people unintentionally slip on banana peels. Unfortunately, I have never actually seen this happen in real life so I don't know if I would actually laugh or not.

Round Eathers definitely make me laugh. It's just so funny how frustrated they get. :D
edit: This was my 1000th post :) What a great tribute to my time on this forum :)

i have seen thins, about 6 years ago. it is fucking hilarious. definatly worthy of rememberence in the archieves of the jedi.

I saw someone slip, but not fall, I was incredibly dissapointed.

I was at a high end bar a while ago and the waitresses had small candles on their trays. This one comes up to me and the wife and askes if we want something to drink. We were still fine, so we tell her 'not right now'. She gets a little pissy and does a little disgusted hair flip. Well, the ends of her hair land right in THE CANDLE!!! The ends catch on FIRE and she doesn't immediately notice. As she turns away, she notices and snuffs out the fire with her hands. It took all the strength I had to wait until she walked away before I started laughing. I felt bad since she was kind of on fire, but damn, it was funny!

Dang, she was smokin'!

things that people think are cool but aren't.
like sagging. the thing where you wear your pants like you just took a shit, and can't find any toilet paper. that's what I think every time I see someone 'sag'.
xD
random humor used to be funny, until it was overused.
-
This talk of sagging reminded me of something my physics teacher said...on accident.

fuck, well my eyes are screwed then. how the hell do eyes sag? xD

This makes me laugh when someone takes a joke too literally and someone replies:
You're an idiot. There is this thing called a "joke," (ur name here), that you should become acquainted with. A joke is a display of cleverness intended to engender yux. Some people, however, require advance notice if they're to recognize a joke when they see one. In polite society it's customary when in the presence of such people to signal the onset of a joke by means of some subtle stratagem, such as a siren, large firecracker, or gong. Clearly your so-called friends could stand a lesson in thoughtfulness.

That reminded me - something that used to make me laugh (but doesn't any more since I now live in a city where I can walk everywhere) is seeing middle aged overweight guys in suits running to catch public transport. It doesn't matter how early in the morning it is and how much I disliked my work, every time I saw that it made me feel good on the inside. :D
