I think everyone needs to lighten up?

Question

i think people really need to lighten up. take a joke. even if its racist. infact i find some racist jokes funny even though im not racist. this question will probaly get deleted because some stiff out there will find me rude and upsetting.

but i guess thats the way you live your life right?

my idea is this. if people wernt so overly polite. so afraid to speak there mind because they might come off pushy or rude or whatever...so afraid to laugh at themselves, the world would be a happier place. am i wrong on this?

i would like your opinions

Answer 1

That's an interesting theory.  But we do need to be considerate of other people's feelings to a certain extent.

Answer 2

It is a lack of manners that causes many of our society's problems.  Manners are not a joke.  They allow people to relate to each other in a nonconfrontational way.  The in-your-face type of society you are outlining would quickly lead to a lack of respect.

Answer 3

You are wrong, sorry, but people need to be considerate of others' feelings.  If you are with friends that know you are joking about a sensitive topic, it's one thing.  However, if you are in a public place, BE POLITE!

This world would be a better place if people weren't self absorbed and inconsiderate of others.

Answer 4

yes i think racist comments and jokes are rude....white,black,mexican,chinese,ital... whatever the hec you are it AINT FUNNY you hear???????? im mixed(moms white dads black) and i dnt think racist jokes are funny no matter who its about....it makes people feel bad about theirselves for nop reason other than that a stupid lowlife jerk thinks its funny to make fun of other races.

Answer 5

Telling racist jokes isn't laughing at yourself by definition - it's targeting someone else's race to make fun of them.

You're absolutely wrong - some of us DO live our lives without telling racist jokes because we genuinely do not find them funny.

Answer 6

There are a tone of white racist jokes that are funny, but im not a racist, actually i cant be! im mixed lol

Answer 7

I work on the theory that it's not funny if the people you are taking the p**s out of don't think it's funny - and I mean all the people.

Racist

Weight

height

Age

Brains/looks/hair/clothes the list is never ending-

In my experience the people who make or tell the most offensive jokes have very little humour about themselves/mother/family/dogs/baldness/e...

If you want to have a discussion have the guts to have a discussion don't hide behind some quasi (humorist's!!)
