My Public Apology!

[Japher]

Let me get this straight:

French Bashing
American Bashing
Democrat/Republican Bashing
Gay Bashing
Catholic Bashing
Christian Bashing
Jew Bashing

I have no problem with that, just want to know how close to the NeoCons we stand.

[DRoseDARs]

Don't forget:

Elf Bashing

[Caligastia]

I don't know what this is about, but I accept your apology and urge you not to do whatever it was again.

I think people have learned their lessons about it... it's a personal and sensitive issue for many. Though obviously I wasn't alive at the time, 24 members of my family were killed in the Holocaust, mainly Polish and Dutch aunts/uncles and cousins so it's a sensitive issue for me. I think some jest is fine but you can cross a line.

I agree Whaleboy, but I don't recall any jokes made about the camps or anything like that. It seemed more aimed at current Jewish attitude and the sentiment that jews control everything, especially the media and conservatives.

[Whaleboy]

Trouble is those are arguments used by neo-nazis, and believe me they are a problem for many Jews, indeed my family seems particular subject to people that hate them... we had a lot of BNP prank callers and abusive callers when I was young calling my family that caused a lot of distress. It's that kind of bull**** that many of them actually believe so I think it's important to undermine it as much as possible. Poking fun at Jews after the neo-Nazis have been dealt with is fine, I have no problem with jokes being made at my, or my peoples expense but that depends on life and times, you understand?

Oh, btw of this all (and btw, link! link! link!),
I would like to apologise to all people I offended unless they were offended by truth.

damn, I missed the joke... if it warranted an apology thread, it MUST have been funny...

[Japher]

Actually, it wasn;t

It's not funny... (excuse me, I try to stay clear of such words, but as You apologised already...), dumb in some points, but some points were true partially.
I think the reaction didn't quite match the actual content, esp. since it was supposed to be joke.
There's more agressive anti-Polish, anti-Catholic, anti-Christian, anti-religion, anti-USA, anti-French etc bias here going on every day that's more than tolerated.

[Whaleboy]

I think my post covers your point Heresson.

In defense of IR, I took a look at his profile and he didn't have a Muslim name, so it seems to me that Oerdins counter-bigotry was embarassingly misplaced.
