The Laughter Cemetery

I'm reliably informed by the older women in my family that this shit wasn't funny back in the day either, at least not to 50% of the population. Similar to how racist jokes weren't funny to their targets, no matter how many "pakis" Bernard Manning reckoned he had at his gigs.

Regardless of how true to life they are

1) they aren’t funny
2)not sure how you’d find them funny in 2018
3) why would you think it would be fun to share it on a forum.

I’m as far from PC as it gets but I can’t understand the thought process of that.

Agreed with 1, 2 and 3, but the reaction is more embarrassing than the jokes themselves.

Some people on this forum really need to get over themselves. Sorry if that has offended anybody...
 
Yep, my partner said the same. Totally aware Glasgow is trolling, but it has real world impacts. I was recently at the Amnesty AGM where we heard from many women the impact of online posts of this nature (that was mostly abuse, which is where Boozad's comment that violence is valid). A shame to see it here so easily tolerated, regardless of if the threads been taken off topic.

Pretty sure we've seen bans on here for trolling before...

P.S. not tolerated by mods who do a great job here

I was not trolling, i have no offence barrier what so ever.
We went to a comedy club my wife got really offended on my behalf because one of the comedians was so bigoted and racist towards the English. I found some of it funny some not funny not because of the subject material it just was not funny, he got lots of cheers for the items i found not funny but no laughs.

The manager came round asking for feedback my wife complained i laughed and apologised aaying ahe's taking offence on my behalf which I did find funny.
My comment was the comdian was lazy it's easy to stand up in Glasgow and use England the other comedians were all far cleverer in their subject matter. My view was i cannot laugh at jokes about paedophilia, disability etxc and get all offended because i am the aim of the jokes, and I don't.

I believe jokes can and should be made around any thing and anyone some people will find it funny some will not humour is subjective.
My favourite comedians are Chubby, Lee Evans, Jimmy Carr, at the minute i really like Muckey Flanagan.

What amuses me is the Warning do not read if offended yet people still read despite the warning some people just like to be offended so they can take the high ground.

I'm not sorry for offending the warning was there dont read if your going to be offended.
My humour is like my music tastes very wide ranging.

It wasn’t and We really bloody don’t. Some people may accept that kinda crap but it’s people who are more concerned about people being ‘snowflakes’ or ‘need to get over themselves ‘ are part of the reason things like this are still a problem in society. They need to catch up with the times

Like the women who saw the post and were offended, including one of the posters on here? See, when it doesn't affect you, it's easy to say get over yourself - but when millions of women are subjected to these "jokes" and online abuse, it just isn't possible to let this type of posting continuously be ignored. Nobody thinks for one minute the mods, or anyone, finds the jokes funny but do refer to your own code of conduct with crap like this.

I'm not offended. Others are and outside the forum many others would be. I don't really see how putting a "warning" on the post is good reason to post anything you like though. Presumably you didn't find those jokes funny either, and knew it would provoke a reaction, therefore it's straight up trolling.

If we were talking about why women don't make it to the top of the FA governance structures and so on, we'd quote this "get over it" attitude as a big part of the problem.

This.

I’m quite concerned that a moderator thinks that people opposing sexist jokes are worse than people posting sexist jokes to be honest.

Spot on.

The jokes are shit, distasteful and not needed. The reaction and dare I say it the bullying (Which happens on here too often) is far worse.
 
Glasgowolf is entitled to have his opinions. The fact most posters think his opinion and 'taste' belongs in an era best forgotten is a good reflection of the members of the forum (IMO) and I'm delighted that people don't find that 'joke' funny.

I do object to being called a snowflake though. I hate the term and think people that use it are utter cunts, the type of cunt I would love to see given a smack in the mouth, or maybe both eyes whilst they're handcuffed to a sink...
 
Loving the shit jokes guys. I consider any one that gives me a slight 'ha that was so shit' chuckle a good one

So because you perceive there to be bullying on here (I'm sure that is a discussion that can be had on this forum, as is necessary), people opposing sexist jokes are worse than people who post sexist jokes?

It’s not the opposing, it’s all the comments following.

For what it’s worth, the term ‘snowflake’ is as bad as ‘I’m not racist but’.
