Not a serious problem. If it had actually been funny, there wouldn't have been reasons for missunderstanding it (a few morons always will, but we really can't do much about that).

After reading this thread I have an even stronger feeling how the joke fits. The last point of that joke shouldn't be there though Reza.Be good, and if at first you don't succeed, perhaps failure will be back in fashion soon. -- teh Spamski

I tried seven times to submit that little comment without success, perhaps the god is trying to tell me something ...Be good, and if at first you don't succeed, perhaps failure will be back in fashion soon. -- teh Spamski

you weren't referring to my threads were you?Originally posted by DRoseDARs
Nah, the mods just want to make up for leaving the thread unmolested for as long as they did.
Besides, it was honest of Iska to make this thread and apologize to the community for such a bad thread, unlike some unnamed posters we've seen in the past who've made similarly offensive threads.
Excluding, of course, "Evil, evil Finland"...that one's an Apolyton Classic (TM).
if so, then I apoligize as well
I know I've probably offended people in the past. Most of my offense comes from sex talk. I know people around here don't like to talk about sex.

Did you see the jokes in the other thread? Are you really not clear what was offensive about them? PM me if youre unclear, as id rather not turn this gracious apology thread into one about the substance of those jokes."A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human.

Facing the music. That's worth some respect.
The problem with posting "controversial humor" versus joking with some buddies is the context issue. It's hard for the reader to understand the intent of the poster. Coupled with such a diverse group of members...well it was bound to get a reaction.Haven't been here for ages....Comment

It always takes great courage to step up and apologize for one's mistakes. Well Done Iska.
WRT your circle of friends...It sometimes only takes a single voice to show others the insensitivity of bigotry. I hope that you will have the courage to be that voice in RL. If more people would have this courage then the world would do much better at dealing with its problems."I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic. We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration." - Hillary Clinton, 2003Comment

No, I'm talking about threads and their starters upon whom evryone jumps one in a similar fashion to what happened in Iska's thread. Don't worry Diss, you weren't who I was think of when I posted in this thread; it's actually been a while since the last ugly thread.

The problem was that they were not really recognizable as jokes - or rather, while they were clearly jokes in a way, they seemed serious, rather than ironic.Comment

Actually, that was 18. But the point is that they're jokes at the expense of jews, which isn't a problem, except that the jokes didn't seem to be making fun of anti-semites but rather agreeing with them.Comment

Not to make light of this but...
Cant you like just watch Friends or something and steal your jokes from that?
That would be offensive as well. Friends
To quote Seinfeld: (Seinfeld and Catholic Priest in a Confessional)
Jerry "I wanted to talk to you about Dr. Whatley. I have a suspicion that he's converted to Judaism purely for the jokes."
Priest "And this offends you as a Jewish person?"
Jerry "No, it offends me as a comedian."Accidently left my signature in this post.Comment
