Mindless violence like this saddens me....and the fact that it didn't happen here is no consolation whatsoever. Neil, I don't think Tealeaf wants to be a woman at all, and if he hasn't got one...well, that would be no surprise would it? I wouldn't have him gift wrapped and hanging with diamonds....I'd rather have a cat! |

One only needs to try to put oneself in the position of spouse , father , mother , son , or daughter of one of those murdered to see that it is tragedy not comedy .

As I have got older, I find I have become more sensitive about such tragedies.....maybe it is because I have experienced first hand, many of the things that life can throw at you. Empathy. |

But, I believe that one can see the humour in jokes that are racist, sexist, homophobic etc., without hating blacks, women, and gays. Jokes seem to be constructs based on eliciting reactions. If a joke makes you laugh, or feel like laughing, it works; if it doesn't, it is a flop. Your beliefs about how society should be organized, or should organize itself, do not depend on your sense of humour. |
Re: Jack Straw, Racist or Correct?
seem to remember seeing that there is a by-election coming up soon in the Oldham area , could Jack Straw's comments not be seen as a bit of 'spin' to draw back/increase the traditional Labour vote, or am I being cynical :eek: ;)

You have to know your peers/audience pretty well before using black humour as it can be offensive to those who are not in the circle. What Tealeaf frequently does, is try to get a rise out of people by making what could be considered, inflammatory remarks. As I said before...not an endearing trait. |
Should we ask the mods to change the thread title to 'Tealeaf Racist Or Correct'?

When asked for their origin I have a sneaking feeling that most of them would say they were American......not caucasian. |
