Crap Jokes

[Reece]

Im going to ask for a bit of feedback, but tbh I think its time this thread went the way of the Dodo.

We get a lot of reports when people post a joke in here usually (although this thread is fairly quiet).

A lot of the stuff that gets posted is the sort of thing that you and your friends might find funny. But a wider community that strives to be as inclusive as possible just doesnt.

So I dont know, what is everyone's thoughts on the topic?

I agree (about getting rid).

I never understand the defence for posting absolutely anything in here based on the title of the thread. It's not like the site rules state an exception for this thread.

I appreciate the comment about consistency of moderating in it, but I never personally look at this thread, and only had cause to do so because the "joke" that started this debate was reported by multiple users.

So yeah, easier to just bin it now.

In Canada, you're more likely to die from a kick off a moose than a terrorist.
Those damn moose limbs...

I woke up in hospital and the nurse said 'you may not feel anything from the waist down'. I said 'fair enough' and felt her breasts.

alright one more...

My partner wanted us to have sex on the bonnet of her Honda Civic. I refused. I want to do it on my own Accord.

Not bad.

[Yozza]

Get rid IMHO

[RoadEnd]

Can we just delete everything but the Ocelot joke. That's too good to get rid.

[Angryred]

Get rid IMHO

Fair enough, democracy rules...& on another note, having a rethink so apologies if I offended anyone as that joke does not reflect who or what I am all about.
I think it stands for most people who do read or post racist or offensive material are not racist or offensive but just do so out of curiosity, I guess!

Hope we are all cool!

Shut it down.

[Slinky Skills]

I get hammered for saying a joke isn't offensive and then when someone posts an offensive joke as per the thread title, someone gets ****ing dogs abuse ha ha! You can't make this **** up.

The first one you posted was gash. This was quite good.

Keep this thread please. One of the best on this whole site IMHO.

Jokes are whimsy and meant to illicit humour. They must be given and taken in good faith otherwise snowflakery rules and down that path hell lies. I’m from an ethnic minority that is also the butt of jokes so have some skin in the game I suppose but what’s funny is funny and this just particular case doesn’t need to be complicated much more than that. That’s just the philosophical argument; in terms of the practical, if you close this thread what are you going to censor next? How are you going to decide what passes and what does not? What standard are you going to apply? Are you sure you are the right person to make those judgements? It gets tricky quickly as you can see.

Remember; The right to free speech is nothing but the right to offend. No one was ever sent to the gulag for praising Stalin too enthusiastically.

[EwarWoo]

Yes, he is the right person, he's the board admin, and it's a private forum with no right to free speech. Regardless he's asking for feedback.

Talking about snowflakes and Stalin has moved me from undecided to close this thing down and burn it in a fire.

Jesus listen to all the fairies telling us whats funny and whats not. This thread has all sorts of ****, mostly bad but some occasional gems and for that reason it should stay.
Good grief...

I wouldn't be overly disappointed if it was locked but it would be a shame if it was deleted.
