As opposed to running around posting stuff like idiots?  Meh.  I'd favor fun, but in a more tactful way.

 

You know how this is going to play out... and it does make sense.

 

 

I was thinking along the lines of your siggy when I wrote that last post. Seems like we have some posters here who could do well reading it.

Why do we have to be so serious all the time anyway.  Way I see it a bunch of folks need to just lighten up.  Theres no reason why posters have to walk on eggshells when they want to joke around about members of the Sox.

 

 

How ironic that there are two similar threads going on this today, MLK day. I think the radar is in hypersensitive mode.

Not that I would, but I hope the day that I decide to get offended by something on SoxTalk, it gets the same kind of attention.

Ive always been of the opinion that you're always going to be miserable if you cant laugh at yourself sometimes. Do we put this line of joking into every thread that comes around? No. Do we make call people such blatantly racist epithets such as k***, s***, n***** or cracker? No. People need to lighten the hell up.

NUKE, you should be aware by now that I not only respect your service to country, but I respect you as well. Yet, I can't understand why you don't see how offensive this can be. I mean, would you walk up to Ozzie Guillen and talk to him this way? If not, why not? If it's not offensive or demeaning then it wouldn't be a big deal. But, if in your mind there might be the slightest chance that Ozzie would take offense, then I have proven my point.

As much as Oz runs his mouth about whatever I dont think he'd be bothered by it but thats pure speculation on my part. I suppose it could be construed as offensive but by those who are hypersensitive but that just goes back to what I said earlier. If you cant laugh at yourself a little bit then you're always going to be miserable. I get told the most blatant polak jokes you could think of when Im on the job yet I dont get upset, I laugh and then tell a MORE blatant polak joke.

To say that doing an accent might be childish or even stupid is one thing. To say it's racist is something else.

JOKES FROM GERMANY

 

How many electricians does it take to change a light bulb?

One.

 

Knock, knock.

Who's there?

The police. I'm afraid there's been an accident. Your husband is in

hospital.

 

A man walks into a pub.

He is an alcoholic whose drink problem is destroying his family.

 

Did you hear about the blonde who jumped out off a bridge?

She was clinically depressed and took her own life because of her terribly

low self-esteem.

 

What do you call a cat with no tail?

A Manx cat.

 

Why do undertakers wear ties?

Because their profession is very serious, and it is important that their

appearance has a degree of gravitas.

 

Why do women fake orgasms?

Because they want to give men the impression that they have climaxed.

 

Two men are sitting in a pub.

One man turns to the other and says: 'Last night I saw lots of strange men

coming in and out of your wife's house.'

The other man replies: 'Yes, she has become a prostitute to subsidise her

drug habit.'

See, now that's just funny.

To say that doing an accent might be childish or even stupid is one thing.  To say it's racist is something else.

 

 

Childish I totally agree with.......and thats the point..........to have fun.

 

 

If I wanted to make a racist crack about Ozzie Id be a little more blunt about it than the whole "Jew Bish" routine.

To laugh and kid around is one thing, to kick the s*** out of a dead horse, repeatedly, over and over again, is another.

Maybe the term 'racist' is a bit too harsh. Maybe 'racially insensitive' is more appropriate. I'll yeild on that point.

What if we just do it repeatedly but not over and over?
