Particle Man, It sounds like you're going through a very bad time.
Where exactly do you live? Hollywood?entire post
That's a good point. It's not like things were necessarily better 50, 100 or 1000 years ago. Divorce was just simply forbidden, for a long time the woman was the man's property. And 50 years ago divorce might have already been legal, but it was really frowned upon.Some married couples should not stay together (like my mom and dad). They would be better apart, imo. But they did stary together and we kids saw no love in marriage.
Marriage is over rated for most people, imo, and it is by no means Holy.
are there people saying we should have ethnic jokes? I don't think I said that... ?
I didn't mean that. I meant that I have difficulties with considering all the important points of human communication (basic politeness, emotional signs, gestures), that I am really at loss with political correctness. It's just too much at once. I simply can't remember not to call black people black or stuff like that. I am not telling jokes anyway and also don't understand most of the jokes other people tell.Ethnic jokes are one of the things people complaining about PCness that I know are usually lamenting - the loss of those jokes. A key phrase from them is 'humorless' coupled with a complaint about modern PCness.
That one might not have a "they are so stupid" punchline - but I still find it extremely tasteless and highly insensitive, to use a huge and horrific tragedy like Hiroshima as part of a joke, especially since the joke mocks the tragedy. This is definitely not PC in my book (and maybe the Polish don't feel mocked, but the Japanese might feel a bit uneasy about it). Additionally the joke describes basically a stampede and, well, there are definitely not many things that are less funny than a stampede and it's consequences.For example: Did you know only 6 people were actually killed by the atomic bomb in Hiroshima? The others were all trampled to death by Polacks looking for the big mushroom.
