And you know this, how? You're not a mod here.

Give me a break OTH... you are like an annoying fly.

amount of water your argument holds = ZERO



besides... you appear to be from finland. Why should you give a damn what we elect to call our "leaders"???

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?

huh?

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.

So intent there have been 15 posts since and 6 of them are from him.

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.

Yes, it's okay to refer to African-Americans as monkeys, even though this is very loaded language... because, you see, people compared Dubya to a monkey, and he was white. Oh, and because OneToughHerring is from Finland, obviously.

No, I don't follow the logic either.

No, the fact that someone took offense at you using poorly thought out wording means you can't criticise him in any way.

This joke thread just keeps getting more and more hilarious.

[GoldenRivet]

For starters i dont recall making a "monkey joke"... i dont know who did. But OTH sure went way over the top with it

I'll call the president of the United States whatever i want... I'm not saying anything about Finland's leadership or national government... so what should he care?

[breadcatcher101]

Why doesn't Obama ever pray?

He can't read the teleprompter with his eyes closed.

Jim made the "monkey's uncle" joke. I questioned that myself, not because of the reference but because that was always applied to Bush (as shown in that photo set).

The question OTH asked was whether a close-up ostensibly showing a close-up of president Kennedy being hit in the head by the famous bullet was funny or not. He then said he thought it was funny. Whether he meant that or was being sarcastic is beyond me. My reply was based on the idea that he was serious about thinking it was funny.

If it was meant to be a sarcastic comment on Jim's post, I think a simple "I'm sorry, I don't find that funny", or "I don't get it" would have been more appropriate.

At least that's the way I would have done it.

[GoldenRivet]

Yes im not quite sure of two things;

1. What Kennedy getting his head blown off has to do with Obama Jokes

2. why anyone would find an assassination funny

it seems that for some reason, OTH - especially lately - has been posting for the purposes of rousing anger, racism and hate in the general membership.

I dont understand why he has been going this route.
