I wasn't trying to start a flame war. Seeing that this is the tasteless joke thread, I thought the joke's racist (poetic license taken, gunmaster) attributes were to its credit.

@ Classic. Ok, ya got me.
I've been mulling this over. Wondering why it is that your joke pissed me off yet I can happily read through this thread and not blanch at the anti-semitic, sexist and racist jokes throughout. I think possibly because the anti-semitic jokes and the jokes about 'niggers' are so off the wall, so over the top and so unacceptable both in mainstream culture and Cellar culture that they fall under the category of 'ironic racism'. I read those jokes and am fairly sure that the poster doesn't actually subribe to those sentiments. But every joke you post in this thread is anti-muslim. And that one you've posted twice. It's starting to feel less like you posting tasteless jokes and more like you using this as a forum for anti-muslim sentiment. Maybe I'm wrong. But anti-muslim humour and anti-muslim sentiment is pretty much mainstream in general culture as in the Cellar. So I don't read those jokes and assume that the poster is being ironic, unless the poster is one I feel fairly sure is not anti-muslim.

If I get an email from someone and its tasteless ... sorta funny sometimes I'll post it. Others not. I certainly don't go looking for them. Quote:

ok. I might be being a little oversensitive today. I'll accept that you don't actually subscribe to those views.
It's struck me a few times in this thread the number of jokes about muslims generally. And I do tend to remember who posts what when it comes to that sort of thing. Probably because it's the sort of thing I scan for. But yes, i did go searching as it happens. And every joke you've posted (as far as I could see)has been about muslims. I accept that you just post the tasteless stuff that comes to you via email. But clearly whoever is sending you tasteless jokes has a particular penchant for muslim jokes.

Oh and I never said all the crap was from one person. I get tons of it - the vast majority gets pitched. I'll increase my filtering just for you.
Next up ... commie manc tarts. Now let me go see what I can find in my email trash.

A Mancunian, a Liverpudlian and a Pakistani are in the waiting room of a maternity ward. A mid-wife enters and explains that there has been a mix-up and that they are not sure whose baby belongs to who.
The new fathers decide to flip a coin to see who takes first pick of the babies, the Liverpudlian wins and returns from the ward carrying a distinctly brown baby. The Pakistani bloke enquired "don't you think you've made a mistake my friend? The scouser replied, "listen mate, there's two babies left in there and there's a 50:50 chance of picking a Manc. That's not a risk I'm willing to take!

Q: What do you call a Mancunian with no arms and legs?
A: Trustworthy.

A boy and a pedophile are out at night, walking towards the forest.
The boy says, "It's dark! I don't like it! I'm scared!" The pedophile says, "You're scared?! I've got to walk back out of here on my own!"

Or Dana....
Of all the jokes classic sees, only the muslim bashing ones rank as "tasteless" in his opinion.
