I think it's a little on the crude side. I wouldn't wish that on anybody.

Calling someone a monkey is quite different than thinking someone getting killed is..

How exactly is it different?

Monkeys are hunted for sport, for food in some places. You can't murder a monkey, can you?

I think the onus is on you here to show how they aren't different.

So it's ok to refer to black people as monkeys here in Subsim Radio Room? I'm sorry but I can't find that part in the rules, care to point it out for me?

nobody is making jokes about a race of people... it is jokes about one man... one incredibly flawed and useless man.


his race has not yet come up as part of the discussion until you brought it up yourself... so im not sure i understand why you feel the need to bring that up.

every president i have ever known of has been compared to a monkey... what makes obama different?

because he is half Kenyan we cant say anything about him now?

this makes no sense.

Okay OTH, here I am.

Look at the thread title and you should get a clue as to the context people are posting in "Jokes"

It is obvious you are now attempting to take or drag the subject towards the 'racism' topic/agenda.

Who has made any reference to the colour of any individuals skin?

Answer....YOU

You must surely have noticed the photos of Bush and the monkey.

Why is it they are more acceptable?

Is it because Bush has white coloured skin?

I don't see any Americans here getting uptight but perhaps that is because they took my post in the context it was meant.....namely, a joke and a reference to a monkey which in UK terms often refers to someone who is a danger not only to themselves but to those around them.

Ever heard of the Brit saying "You shouldn't give monkeys guns"?

You don't know me, you've never met me and you know very little about me, unlike some of the posters on these boards.

I've spent a lot of time and effort over the years upholding and enforcing the virtues of anti racial discrimination.

What I don't appreciate is people who jump in banging a drum until they can convince someone what they are preaching is correct.

You got a beef with me, take it to PM.

Actually, no. I don't find the assassination of any president something to be laughed at. I think this post, or the link, needs to be deleted.

It is actually rather disturbing that you would find something like that funny.

What is the difference between Tutankhamun and a smart US President?

Tutankhamun has already been found.....

(can be used for all presidents/politicians etc. of all countries)
