More of a complaint than a rant; it's about you.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Race jokes, misogyny jokes, fat jokes, blond jokes, Irish jokes, rape jokes, religious jokes, scat jokes and all manner of grossout jokes are all hilarious.
The best kind of humour offends.

As my sister in law would say "grow a pair".

Oh wait, so now it is misogynist?  Which is what I was saying in the first place. It's just a lowest-common-denominator Readers Digest repost kind of joke. TGRR wanted to know what he'd missed, and I told him. But that hurt Badbeast's delicate feelings, apparently.

Bloody Twiddledum and Twiddledee! Well played those two!

This is going to be fun

Yes it is.

So, if someone tells a joke about Gays here, and one of the LBGT crowd gets upset about it, it's the LBGT person's fault?

I mean, I want to understand exactly what the standard is, here.

Three gay guys were sitting in a hot tub when some sperm floated to the surface. After looking at it for a minute, one of the guys asked, "Okay, who farted?"

This thread is incredibly confusing.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

I agree that it's okay to make jokes about racial issues (ie, "legally Black") or similar parodies on anti-Gay propaganda, because the target of the joke is the people advancing said propaganda.  Notice the subtle distinction.  Likewise, my yerrup jokes are obviously targeted at the ugly American, not at people from Belgium.

And while I don't think we should outlaw the jokes aimed at the actual minorities themseves, I think you can learn a lot about the person telling them.

They have a sense of humor?

I will continue to be who I am, if that offends you two then ban me.

I feel like there's at least 3 and a half conversations happening at once in here, with a 35% frivolity rating overall.

I don't know who's brawling with whom, and I can't easily follow when it's Twilly the Bid or Kiddy the Twill or Biddy the Destroyer of Worlds posting, because tiny phone screen makes reading less easy.

Someone condense the entirety of the last 5 pages down into an easily digestible soundbite, plz. I'm too American for this shit.

Why the hell would we ban you?

When have we ever banned anyone for disagreeing?

Joke made. Offense taken. Hilarity resulted. Twid got drunk, (fukin Irishman) and he and Faust had great talk. Fread over.

Not sure, in my absence it seems PD has changed...

Speaking on behalf of my feelings, I'd like to make it clear that I'm lolling quite loudly at the very thought of this. If I had any feelings that sensitive, I would donate them to the whiny baby fund.
