I do not like racism and will not support it in anyway.
 

I will be back when racism is not part of this forum. I feel very strongly about this issue. This forum has been above it since I have been here. Lucas or any other admin can PM me when it will not be tolerated and when this kind of thread is deleted. Goodbye for now.

While I do agree that thread is full of stupid racist jokes that are better off not said, I'm also concerned that censoring one thing is a slippery slope. I like being able to post whatever I want without having to worry about which rule I'm violating. I don't have a problem with censoring the racist shit as long as it doesn't get to a point where we can't post political or religious comments and can't use vulgar language.

I'm by no means racist but, when it comes down to brass tacks jokes are meant to get a good laugh at someone elses expense. I don't know about anyone else but, I'm tired of walking on eggshells around the whole race thing. I have a son that suffers with autism and I dont take every joke or picture involving a retarded individual as a personal attack. The whole world needs to lighten up a bit. Most jokes are insulting but, not as insulting as being told what can and cannot be done or said just because an individual or group of people, for that matter, is lacking in the ability to appreciate a little self humor. Hurling racial or social or any other kind of slurs at someone in anger is wrong, period. A joke is just that, though, a joke. Take it for what it is pendragon and don't leave us. You will be greatly missed.

Pendragon must be a Mexican't or a Jetson. Why so sensitive? Fucking baby.

If I don't want to be offended, and I see something that advertises itself as 'Offensive' I usually don't click it. Welcome to the intarwebz.

As long as everyone is a target then the racism charge isn't valid. So far in the thread the targets are:

Special Need
Mexicans
Blacks
Children
Old Folks
Women.

I am all for self humor but thus far I doubt very seriously that the "jokes" posted thus far hit anywhere near the poster. There is a glaring gaping hole in the list that doesn't belong to yo sister. It is easy to not be offended when you are not the target.

DS is already built on the edge so there is some leeway and room to fool but it doesn't take much to fall off.

I agree with pendragon if you arent gonna walk up to a African American or Hispanic and say the joke to there face then dont say it here.

You dont know what nationality the person behind the screen reading the joke is

The Jokes towards women how many of you guys would say it to a woman you meet on the street?

Have a little class.

For you I really doubt you have the balls to even say that to his face.

Easy to say things when you arent looking at the person. Get out from behind the screen and scream the N word in a public place if you are so big and bad.

I have to say I am not a big fan of "racist jokes". Why go back to that place in time when there was such intolerance. It's time to move past this garbage, funny or not.

The logic is solid but the internet isn't real life so you can say things on forums that you wouldn't say to a random stranger on the street. There is a disconnect from reality that allows people to be more open.
