Serena Williams (tennis playa) - Not very lady-like. Wonder where

[Hatin Since 87]

Didnt ask for a definition, I want a specific example of the consequence of telling a joke

 

[Alpo]

Enmity.

 

[Hatin Since 87]

I can deal with that. Hardly a consequence of being offensive, that can be a consequence of many things.

Next example. Try harder.

 

[Alpo]

Nah, I'm done taking your bait. I said what I needed to say. If you want to make jokes on race, ethnicity or religion, this is not the website for you.

 

[Hatin Since 87]

Can you point to a joke I made about any of those?

You made a statement I asked for an explanation. It’s a forum, thought that was the point? I also said it’s their house and I’m a guest I’ll follow any rules they have, but in life I can say anything offensive I want outside of private property. If you wanna be offended, be offended

 

[Kutnupe14]

And for the record I wasn’t responding to kut, I was responding to the butt hurt expressed in the last couple pages about jokes. Again, I’m a guest in their house so I’ll follow the rules, but some of you need thicker skin. I’m offended you were offended

Thicker skin? Around here? I'm all for a "free for all," (noting what that would entail). The other site I visit had ZERO rules. I'm all about people speaking their mind.

Not the first time someone has wondered...

 

[mmpsteve]

I've seen jokes on this website about all those subjects you mention. Myself, and I believe probably most people, just laugh and move on. That's why it's called "a joke". Serious question, Are you on medication?

Why do mens tennis players have to play more sets, and get more tv viewers than women's tennis but are paid the same?

 

[Hatin Since 87]

Ah. So I’m accused of being a racist again, and I didn’t even mention race or make a joke. Was merely defending people’s right to say offensive things, outside the realm of people’s private properties rules. I can see how that would make me racist.

We've already had the thread closed once. Can we maybe not get this one closed again.

Be careful what you wish for.
I find it sad that so many flag waving 2nd Amendment men here and a simple joke or a satire cartoon offends so many.
Maybe the ingo slogan should change from " Put on your Thick Skin and come on in"
To, Tip Toe through the Threads and don't Offend Anyone. It's also disappointing that some think that our Rights have changed since 1979.

Why would any of this conversation " Close " the thread?

Why do mens tennis players have to play more sets,

Because they are the weak..... er... never mind.
That is a good question. Why is that?

Everyone knows “equality” today just means we want the same as you without putting in the same amount of effort.

Well....border line threats might be one reason.
The general ton might be another.

Just the 1st 2 that jump out after I asked that we all ease up jut a bit. I will go find that post. Hang on a minute.

 

[churchmouse]

Not an in thread warning as I to may have incited some of this myself.
Just asking we tone it down a bit. No more ethnic jokes please. Yes I was laughing.

Carry on.

This one. Seems the "Tone" has darkened just a bit.

Hmmm . . . racist?
