answers to the red dot

[laserpat]

                     
                         For centuries, Hindu women have worn a dot on their foreheads. Most of us have thought this was connected with tradition or religion, but the Indian embassy in Ottawa has recently revealed the true story.

                            When a Hindu woman gets married, she brings a dowry into the union. On her wedding night, the husband scratches off the dot to see whether he has won a convenience store, a gas station, a donut shop, a taxi cab, or a motel in the United States . If nothing is there, he must remain in India to answer telephones and provide technical advice.

Thanks for clarifying....

Met A guy in school, he was from the Netherlands, he said "I don't know why Americans make jokes about the Polish people, they are very nice people... but the Belgium's.... now those people are stupid!" So being Polish in America I had a whole bunch of Belgium jokes for him. He said "see, even you know how stupid they are!"

I'm not laughing at myself, nor am I laughing at race based jokes... I know them all... I used to tell them.
 
Times change... for the better I think... and if you cannot see the line that has been crossed with the original post then possibly you haven't caught up with changing times... and are in a 'sorry state'.

[Jack]

I don't see a change.  I can't turn on the tube without somebody making jokes about white male protestant Americans.  Most comedians today make more money when they DO make fun of themselves.  Heck, that has been forever.  Call me a Cracker, a Red Neck, a Hill Billy, and Arkansan.  I could care less and will laugh right along beside you.

[Serk]

WoOHoO! Look who's back!

I applied for a job picking lemons in fla. The boss said I was not qualified...no experiance. I said your wrong I've been married three times, vote for obama and own two toyotas..............

Both my parents are from Italy.  My father made the horrific mistake of moving to a small wisconsin town because my oldest brother was starting to be introduced to drugs in Chicago.  Thinking that there was less chance of drugs being in a small community.

For twenty years I had to deal with racial comments regarding Italians.  And in that twenty years I’ve learnt that everyone hates everyone else that doesn’t belong to their group.  Honda riders stay away from Harley riders, snowboarders don’t ski with skiers, Christians hate gays, republicans hate democrats, etc, etc…..  the only good Indian is a dead Indian……  our histories fool of it (yes I know it’s f-u-l-l ).

By the way, I married a polish girl.  She hates the jokes just as much as I do. 

When are we going to stand up to the bully in the playground and say enough is enough?  Sometimes, that’s what the bully would like, someone to have the courage to stand up to him.

SE, welcome back.

(I will confess though, it was a cute joke! It did make me chuckle… .)

Take Scrooge McDuck off the air because thats a slam at cheap Scots, and I am offended.
Cut out the Pa Dutchman jokes, and never call anyone a nazi again because I am offended.
Quit making fun of the english and dental work, because I am offended.
No more Polish jokes and dont even mention Hunkys and mason jars, beause I am offended.

Or, just get over it.

"Ya don't get it, do you?  Would you still tell n*gger jokes?  Can you explain how this is different?"

I DO tell them jokes! and my dark skinned friends dont get offended at all! It's like telling UGLY jokes...no one stands up and says "Hey,that offends me because I'm ugly" ! The "N" word has a different meaning to them because they dont put themselves in that category. I would much rather be called by a racial slur than called a thief or a burden on society....

[fstsix]

Man!!!!......i missed this thread LOL!!!!  let me introduce myself Gregory Wlodarczyk, i wanted to be a electrician but they said i could not turn the latter fast enough to screw in light bulbs screw them!!.... i am afraid of heights anyway.. now being Irish also....I don't care what you say!!!! if it wasn't for ALCOHOL THE IRISH WOULD RULE THE WORLD now just think having a last name like mine you don't think all the way through life or every time i show my ID i don't have to explain and then here comes the Polish jokes LOL!!! i will say it!....

Showed the joke to my Hindu Secretary to ask if she found this offensive.

It was hard to get her attention as she was modeling a new French Maid outfit from Victoria's Secret that one of my Rastafarian client's Dominican wife had bought for her Irish daughter in law who is the same size.  They get together over lunch and try on clothes.  No pictures sorry the surveilance system is down since the break in

Anyways She laughed like crazy and then said it was funny

Guess that means she will not have to fill out a hurt feelings report

Before the end of the day I heard her on her cell phone telling the joke

IMHO if the joke does not denigrate or demean or lessen the person or people as a person there is no harm.  When we try to make a group less human that is not good 

This joke was no more harmful that this one

Why was the suez canal closed after the 67 war

A.  The Israelis ate all the locks. (lox)

What is black and white and ridden all over

A. Oss's new bmw   (note this is not a slur against blacks or whites)

Missed your pot stirring SE  Good to see the conscience of the community is still alive and kicking

Mark, I keep a couple copies of the Hurt Feelings Report at my desk.  It gets a laugh when I give it to a complainig co-worker or customer.  Lightens the atmosphere a bit.

The FIRST Time that I heard this JOKE it was told to me by a friend who is Hindu and was born and raised in India.

You know, we have many rights in our great country....

But one right we don't have is the right to not be offended....

So suck it up and quit your crying...you don't like the joke, then don't read it!

"The thought police would get him just the same. He had committed--would have committed, even if he had never set pen to paper--the essential crime that contained all others in itself. Thoughtcrime, they called it. Thoughtcrime was not a thing that could be concealed forever. You might dodge successfully for a while, even for years, but sooner or later they were bound to get you."
- George Orwell, 1984, Book 1, Chapter 1

"And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth. 'Who controls the past' ran the Party slogan, 'controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.'"
- George Orwell, 1984, Book 1, Chapter 3

And that, my fellow riders, is the quintessence of political correctness.

[Serk]

And that, my fellow riders, is the quintessence of political correctness.

Hmmm, and I always thought that this was the definition of political correctness:

Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional illogical liberal minority & rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous liberal press which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
