    there is IMO an unwritten exemption for people to tell jokes about themselves, ethnic groups can make jokes about themselves, Russel Peters can make jokes about other ethnic groups because he also laughs at his own as well...Rivers being jewish is free to make fun of jews...

    that said I didn't find the comment funny...

    I never understand people paying to see a comedian that is know to be controversial, then moaning about it when he is.

    Why do that?

    Why not just not go then?

    Same with books etc. If you are so fragile not to read it, and fold like a chair, don't read it then.

    What could be more fair and simple!

    :thumbsup:

    How would you like me to respond to your obviously skewed opinion. It is not an ego trip to skewer nonsense posts and positions held not as the outcome of careful factual analysis, but as transcendent faith over emotional hatred.. It is not an ego trip when one is called a joke to highlight the caller's ignorance on the very subject about which he called one a joke.


    sez one to another.


    fair enough.

    If a man knows what he doesn't know, then his ignorance is mitigated. It is when a man doesn't know what he doesn't know and behaves as tho he does, that is when ignorance is a sin.

    Of course its your opinion that ignorance is better than cleverness, having the former and lacking the latter.


    :wink:

    Good'un Jack , I didnt expect that from Ricky , but it reminds of - would you believe it - a Jew named Adolphe ?

    Well , that was ofCoz pre -Schicklegrubber or whatever his real father's name was.

    Our Jewish Adolphe was Milibrand - for obvious reasons changed his name to Ralph or Rolf .

    But - but - but , IMO whatever his politics . he was, again -imo - a far more principled man , for his time - - than either of his two sons.


    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Miliband

    From what I've read abt him , I doubt he'd have ever become a Zionist / or a closeted "Friend of Israel"

    .. Good video , keep'em coming .

    What a choice England has, at the next election eh, or possibly all of us.

    Camoron and Gideon.

    Or the weak sounding (and no way is he going to go against tribe), 'Ed'.

    Back in the early 70's Carlin was incredibly controversial for his 7 words you can't say on tv. He was demonized in some parts and some idiots who paid to see him, actually walked out of his concerts, even tho everyone knew he was going to use the routine.

    Imagine swear words in the mainstream being offensive. the times change, it doesn't change the fact that a joke or a word is crude, it merely changes the tolerance of it.

    imo this guy is absolutely hilarious.

    Be honest, by and large, male comedians are far funnier,and better known, than females.

    Not saying there are no funny women, not saying that at all. Just that men are better at it.

    and judging from yours I can't say much for your judgement.

    As a matter of fact my intelligence is an accident of birth. the randomness of gene mixing. its what you do with it that counts. I developed it, I worked at it diligently, I acquired and still acquire knowledge like a sponge, I learned from my environment and many many people.

    Now you take your white nationalists use of his accident of birth and see how he developed his whiteness, how he uses his whiteness.


    I am in control of my karma. you really should get out more.

    I really pisst you off I see.

    Pretty much. I tend to favor "edgy" humor, and this qualifies as such.

    Jack was this really screened/broadcasted on BBC3 ?

    eeezz- I missed a helluva lot while working my arse off battling against those f - ucking SOB parasitic mortgage money lenders to keep a roof over my family's heads.

    You know Jack , in the 80s the interests rate was 14-15% . In my case it was entirely due + thx to my earlier Saudi contacts offering me a job , that my wife and children didnt become destitute,+ going into council sheltered housing.

    Glad to finally be rid of the blood sucking B'***** and finally catching up wth what I've missed .#

    thx for the vids .

    Carlin was the man. I dare say he was the funniest guy of the 20th Century -- or at least the latter half of it.

    Not a cultural bias, no. Most would be like me, I do not care if the person was female, male, black, white, Muslim, or Jewish, so long as they are funny. Also, there are plenty of female comedians, they are well represented, and have been for long enough. I think men tend to be better vocally, the voice is deeper, it carries better, and I also think men tend to be better natural orators.

    Think of all the famous people that speak that really inspired a nation, or a people, or whatever, they do tend to be men, even today, I would argue that male politicians come over better, than the females, by and large. It doesn't mean to see no females exist that can ever be funny, or a good orator, I simply think men incline to doing it better,by nature.

    Just as there are probably lots of things that women can often do better,by nature.

    But there is something else on top. I think male comedians are far far far more varied in their acts, while women tend to make the act about being a women.

    It can be funny in doses, but if it becomes their whole act, it gets boring.

    That is what I have found with a lot of female comedians. A lot of Jewish comedians are like that too. It's not that it cannot be funny a bit, but they make their entire act about it,which means it gets a bit boring.

    Team America: The world police.

    Good one, never heard of it before.

    The thing is, both that one + the one i gave, they are true.

    The theme and essence of them are in fact...true.

    So that means we must know it is true, otherwise, if the notion were not there, one would not be able to parody it, as they have. Neither vid is in bad taste, at all, indeed, whatever helps people notice, is a fair medium.

    It's strange though.

    It we turn back the clock, and imagine that there was TV etc in days gone by, it would be like making comedy animation about Communist gulags as they were happening, and this being known to a Worldwide audience....but the gulags and abuses being allowed to go on.

    Nah - you're not that important to me.

    ...

    Funny , its not reflected in your posts , You come across as someone - who's bigheaded . extremely arrogant who loves nothing better thanb blowing his own trumpet. etc.etc. On the other hand you might just be a guy who's deeply in love with himself. I can only go by your posts . who know perhaps if we met in the real world -had a beer together you might not be so obnoxious. Who knows/who even cares .

    Need I say more ? Byeee

    , Nuff said - no insults intended

    Shalom .

    Quite right Jack , Jewish humour is top of the list. Its a pity most dont stick to being humorous + human instead of pursuing other dastardly deeds.
