Pokes head up*
Just how offensive is acceptable here?
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Hiya Lemmy, long time no read, how's kicks?
Oh, and I don't care for racist jokes myself, generally. Although a girlfriend of mine, a Jew, once tore me up with one about how many Jews you could fit into a Volkswagen -- "four, and another six million in the ashtray". But that's one's not so much racist as it is just plain tasteless.

I've had better and worse months, but I'm still breathing and earning taxable income, y'know?

Just to piss boru off
What's worse than being black?
Being a black Jew, because you have to go to the back of oven.
Also lemon I've got some beef with you, from the other thread. You have every right to your own religious opinion but don't force it on me. Ok?
CHRISTIANITY: The belief that some cosmic Jewish Zombie can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him that you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree.
Makes perfect sense.
Give a man a fish, and you'll feed him for a day; give him a religion, and he'll starve to death while praying for a fish.

pre·ten·tious
prəˈten(t)SHəs/
adjective
adjective: pretentious
attempting to impress by affecting greater importance, talent, culture, etc., than is actually possessed.
Racism is assigning traits to an outside group, this group being defined by skin color.
We are evolved to think in generalizations and grouping. Racism is our natural state of "my tribe vs their tribe" based on closeness of skin color. Racism is a subset of Xenophobia.
We have to teach ourselves not to be racist. Have you ever noticed that it is almost exclusively the most unlearned that are the most racist?
Find the cure for Fundementia!

From my experience, less smart people justify racism for no reason, and smart people justify it because the statistics say one race is worse (i.e. Asians have more IQ, blacks have less, etc.)
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you

The mark of a person who has truly overcome racism is the ability to laugh at old stere0types.
The prince of a small kingdom had to select his bodyguard from a Knight Templar, a Samuri, and a Temple Guard. He decided to test the swordmanship of each. The Knight Temple swang at a flying bumble be and cut it in half. The prince was impressed. The Samuri swung at a fly and cut it into thirds. The prince was even more impressed. But when the Temple Guard swang at a gnat and the gnat flew away. The others laughed and the prince said to the Temple Guard, "You appear to have missed." The Temple Guard smiled and said, "Circumcision does not kill."
(BTW my wife is part Jewish)

Joke about Russia (self-criticism is useful from time to time ;P):
A man comes to see his friend, a minister, and says: 'I need your help to get a job because I haven't any qualifications.'
'Are you a Party member?' asks the minister.
'Of course,' replies his friend.
'Okay, then,' says the minister, 'I could make you my deputy. You would be getting ten thousand roubles a month!'
'Oh, no,' says the man, 'I'd rather something less grand.'
'Very well then,' says the minister, 'I can appoint you director of a large factory, two thousand roubles a month . . .'
'No,' says his friend again. 'That's still far too grand. I was thinking of around a hundred roubles a month ... as an engineer perhaps . . .'
'I'm sorry, says the minister, 'I can't get you a job as an engineer. You need qualifications for that. . .'
