Cmon Guys its only a JOKE for gods sake lighten up i didnt mean to offend anyone and thought it was acceptable after the survey joke.
But now i know better and i hope you lot are big enough to accept my appology.

Apologies to you too Chrisp . . . but the reaction was to the joke not AT you.

We all make judgement mistakes . . and I just thought it was worthy of a criticism in order to prick people's consciences a little.

Unfortunately the sentiment behind this joke has been truly exploited by the Americans in particular who would like nothing more than to blame their sick society on the African Americans.

phoenix, are you implying that America is a sick society ?

There are many facets to their society . . . I was just referring to the itsy-bitsy part that is (truly) sick. You know guns, high-school shootings, drugs etc. This I believe they wish to apportion to their African American compatriots.

As for some of the other facets of their society racism, invading other countries etc. . . I'm sure they would confess are white trash/middle class American offerings.

Any problem with that?

[Get Real!]

Here are the lyrics for those interested...

I started a joke

I started a joke, which started the whole world crying,
but I didn’t see that the joke was on me, oh no.

I started to cry, which started the whole world laughing,
oh, if Id only seen that the joke was on me.

I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes,
and I fell out of bed, hurting my head from things that Id said.

Till I finally died, which started the whole world laughing,
oh, if Id only seen that the joke was on me.

I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes,
and I fell out of bed, hurting my head from things that Id said.

Till I finally died, which started the whole world living,
oh, if Id only seen that the joke was on me.

For f***s sake you lot......... It was a joke!..and here's another

Mr Kahn and Mr Jones have their houses valued.
Mr Kahns is valued at £200k and Mr Jones, £150k.
Furious, Mr Jones phones the estate agent demanding to know why there is such a difference.
Simple says the estate agent. He doesnt have a paki living next door!!!!!!

How do you confuse an Irishman
Show him 3 spades and tell him to take his pick!

And if you dont like em dont even bother to post anything because thats your tough luck

The MIcrophone, One evening , whilst relaxing in my lounge with a good book, I chanced to hear a strange noise from the back of the house and decided to investigate the source.

I securely locked all the doors and windows which I considered to be an 'Escape Route' and duly searched the entire premises without success, I informed the local police and (as the Chief Inspector is a very good friend of mine) they attended me within five minutes.

They also conducted a thorough search but found nothing.

A little later, (after they had left) I entered the 'Coal Cellar' to fill the scuttle and discovered the little thief, cowering in the far corner with his eyes and mouth tightly closed.

I gave him a cuff, then seized him by the scruff of the neck and frog-marched him to the adjacent police station.

I understand he is a persistent offender with something of a 'drug problem', his father is well known to me and is a pillar of the local community, I have a great deal of sympathy for the poor man.

His son is a complete disgrace to his family and his peers, he attended the local high school and done very well with his lessons, everyone in the neighbourhood had high hopes for him at one time, he has let us ALL down.

Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention that he is a 'White Boy', didn't want to upset anyone and perhaps be branded 'Racist'.

You hit the nail on the head as usual eliko
