but that's what I'm saying... it IS all commercial.... but it's beautiful. You could go through manys a christmas without any religious reference at all... so why the hell am I gonna feel bad for giving my kid a pressie... and why should MY kid feel bad for GETTING one?.
white christmas originated in europe. either that or tis all hallmark's doing.
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
Yep, that's exactly what I'm talking about, lol. What I'm saying is people use the kids in these arguments ALL the time... oh this kid feels left out... this kid doens't do things that way so we can't do it that way. Fact is... it's ALL adults fucking it up for the kids. I hate hearing this kids arguments... like 'oh little Jehovah's parents can't (or won't) give him a present... so nobody's allowed give their kid a pressie' :rolleyes: gimme a bloody break!
In my experience with Jews and Muslims most have no problem with getting Christmas pressies but some do. As for Jehovah's witnesses they usually don't allow it at all. So ya don't give Christmas pressies to the ones who don't want them or are offended by them and it's as easy as that lol. It's not like they are stopping you from giving pressies to your family and friends so don't let it bother you. They just have different beliefs and customs and it's not easy to just change them just because you're living somewhere else.
Umm but I want my pressies lol.
"...believe in lies...to get by...it's divine...whoa...oh, you know what its like..."

I'm not asking them to change their beliefs or their ways just to suit me... what I'm saying is there's no way I'M changing MY ways to suit anyone wh decided to move here... you can't pick and choose what you like about a country. The brits tried to change us for too long and we kicked them out. The vikings invaded, mingled with the locals... we kept them.

i think the reason i like sarah silverman's humor is because she is equally offensive to everyone, even herself. i especially love the episodes where she "helps" someone but is really only doing it to make herself feel good about herself. i think her humor makes some people squirm (me included, sometimes) because she comes dangerously close to the thruth. with of course, a little funny meaness thrown in.
here's a joke i've heard that's a good example of this type of dark humor:
q: what's better than winning a gold medal in the special olympics?
a: not being retarted.
now, i'm sorry, but i think that's fucking funny. and if you are offended by it, i think you're mostly lying to yourself and actually laughing on the inside.

I don't know about the rest of you, but sometimes the whole PC thing makes me wanna gag. I understand being respectful of people, etc. But sometimes I just wanna go Sarah Silverman on someone, ya know? (LOVE her show, btw.)
So in that vein, I dedicate her Love Song to this thread and to the periodic, ill-advised, strangely satisfying anti-PC mood that hits me from time to time.
Love Song
by Sarah Silverman
I love you more than bears love honey
I love you more than Jews love money
I love you more than Asians are good at math
I love you even if you're not hip
I love you even if black people don't tip
(I'm sure there's more, but that's all I've got for now.)
Feel free to add your own sentiments/lyrics/rants. Only ONE RULE: NO CRITICIZING each other for venting. This thread is meant as a rude, crude, ignorant and socially unacceptable vent, and let's remember that it's ALL IN FUN.
I love you all, even those I despise. Kiss Kiss.
i've never been pc and i never will be. i speak my mind. if you don't like it F ya.
ok, i am going to get blasted by some. but here is a stereotype that has some truth behind it
black people do not tip well. i have quite a few friends that work valet at a local casino, and they have always said, without a doubt that black people are their worst tippers, that is not made up that is their reality. one time 2 good freinds from work and I went to TGIF for lunch. one of them happened to be black... so he ordered the triple jack combo which was like $25... he requested a seperate bill... after lunch we paid and we noticed he left .50 fucking cents tip? thats right, 50 fucking cents, and we are not talking about the rapper here... this wasnt for a cup of coffee, this was for some HUGE $25 lunch. we immediately jumped his shit and he refused to admit it was wrong. he didnt see anything wrong with it? we were all over him, until he left like $1 more or something ridiculous... lets just say i have NEVER gone out to eat with that guy again.
dave chappelle made a hit show out of being non-pc... which the silverman show is copying to try and follow the recipe (havent seen it yet, but i want too)
this whole thread reminds me of an old eddie murphy skit/joke from one of his standups... loose quote
"yeah, all them stereotypes about blacks are right... we like watermelon, we like chicken, we have big lips and nappy hair... just dont forget we have big dicks too" (moral to the story...take the good with the bad and have a good time with life... dont take everything so damn seriously)
you mean to tell me you've never bitten your tongue...ever?
you're up awful early cate.
i've bitten my tounge here to keep from getting banned. i don't recall having to bite my tounge in real life though. i'm friends with everyone and i don't have any enemies.

you're right. i grew up with guys like don rickles and redd foxx. they were my childhood idols. next was buddy hackett and of course; the rat pack bunch.
they've become so much a part of me; i once told a judge "you're a daisy if you do". well; he did and is currently being disbarred and possibly facing criminal charges.
sometimes you just can't help what you say.

when i used to cocktail waitress, the food waiters referred to black customers as weebees- as in "We be leavin' without leavin' you a tip." hell, it WAS accurate.

WTF???
Really?
This is what this has come to?
Sarah "I am white" Silverman makes fun of herself? What, calling herself a dumb douche???? I am not saying she is but wtf does she have to make fun of herself about?
Good to know who the biggots are though. I appreciate your exercising your right to free speech.
And it is for selfish reasons that one would get pissed because they are not allowed to give someone else a pressie. Give me a break.
Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
Stereotypes are bad, by using them, we create the scenario the stereotypes describe. There is plenty of research on stereotypes available.
Tipping is a matter of personal opinion. Some people disagree with tipping and I respect their view. These days when you tip it goes into a tip jar the tips are divided up amongst all the staff at the end of the night. So you aren't tipping the waitress anymore, you are tipping the entire restaurant staff. So.. why don't they charge more for the food and pay their employees more?
Additionally, a waitress at a decent restaurant can take home more in a couple of hours in tips, than I make in an entire night of work. And I have a particular skill set obtained through hard study and years of experience.
I can't blame someone for not tipping, especially when they come from a background and culture of severe poverty.
I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire
Yep, that's exactly what I'm talking about, lol. What I'm saying is people use the kids in these arguments ALL the time... oh this kid feels left out... this kid doens't do things that way so we can't do it that way. Fact is... it's ALL adults fucking it up for the kids. I hate hearing this kids arguments... like 'oh little Jehovah's parents can't (or won't) give him a present... so nobody's allowed give their kid a pressie' :rolleyes: gimme a bloody break!
Grrr...again with bringing up the Jehovah's Witness thing.
My mother in law is a JW. The only person that seems to have a problem with her take on gift giving and the celebration of holidays is her ingrate of a daughter. Does it really matter if you can't give someone a present????
Give them a hug. Give them 10 uninterupted minutes of your time.

I didn't say anything about respecting a person, Helen. I said respecting feelings of others. Who gives a shit if you "intended" it to be a joke. Oftentimes this will come after an assinine remark is made. Oh, sooorrrry...I was joking. Can't you take a joke?

Huh? So you don't give you kid a christmas pressie? Or a birthday pressie or anything? Oh so your mother in law is a JW so that means I can't say whatever without offending you? My two cousins who died in a fire who I love dearly were JW... doesn't mean I have to like the bloody religion. My aunt and uncle never stopped my parents from giving US presents. And if a parent has problems with other kids getting presents cos they can't give their own kids one, that's OBVIOUSLY cos their kids WANT one, if the kids want christmas banned they must be jealous cos they can't celebrate it themselves. Whatever you think, let your kids integrate.

You'll never get a tip from a Scottish person... that's FACT... and Scots won't be offended by you saying that either. What's WRONG with generalisations? I don't get it... you can say what you want about Irish being alcoholics... that's bollox... you're only an alcoholic if you go to meetings! You can say what you want about us being stupid... that's fine, we're fine with that cos while you're thinking we're thick, we'll sell your house from under ya.
HOW do people get offended by generalisations? I'm sorry but it actually makes me laugh. If someone can't take a generalisation well they're just uptight and basically ridiculous.

We don't have the right letters in the latin alphabet, but its Bet-lekh-em, with a strong emphasis on the second syllable. The kh is the guttural hebrew letter ח 'khet'. It looks like a small 'N' in this font but its not. I think the pronunciation is basically the same in arabic as well.
A lot of hebrew and arabic place names get a lot softer sounding to our ears when you use the romanacised versions. Not that there's anything wrong with those pronunciations, its just if you're not used to hearing guttural consonants they can sound a bit harsh.

My lovely lass who is Canadian but made up of Irish and Scot tips very nicely when we go out. I think she feels bad for the stereotype and does her best to try and break the mold.
Peters is the shit my friend. The guy has me in stitches every single time I see him on the tube or listen to him on the radio.
I remember way back once upon a time when he was a nobody and a buddy of mine worked at Yuk-Yuks, so he invited a few of us to see him and the rest of the show. Peters comes on stage and in a middle eastern accent says "who ordered the cab?". The place goes quiet thinking that some crazy cab driver decided to see if his fare was in the audience by grabbing the mike. That was my introduction to Peters and I have laughed with his jokes ever since. He is priceless when he is doing his dad at the barbeques.

HOW do people get offended by generalisations? I'm sorry but it actually makes me laugh. If someone can't take a generalisation well they're just uptight and basically ridiculous.

Umm. . . have you forgotten your bible stories Helen? The shepards sitting in the snow and having the crap scared out of them by the angel and all that shite?
It snows in Jerusalem most years. Not sure about Bethlehem, but its only about 15 kms away, so it probably snows there too.

what the fuck are ya talking about?
I've always thought that Bethlehem sounds just beautiful. A fabulous name for a place. If I ever have kids they're ALL gonna be called Bethlehem

Hah! you should hear the way the locals pronounce it. You might change your mind then.

We don't have the right letters in the latin alphabet, but its Bet-lekh-em, with a strong emphasis on the second syllable. The kh is the guttural hebrew letter ח 'khet'. It looks like a small 'N' in this font but its not. I think the pronunciation is basically the same in arabic as well.
A lot of hebrew and arabic place names get a lot softer sounding to our ears when you use the romanacised versions. Not that there's anything wrong with those pronunciations, its just if you're not used to hearing guttural consonants they can sound a bit harsh.

anyway the whole bible thing is all a pile of shite if you ask me

Yup. It may be. Still snows in Jersusalem though (which, by the way, the locals pronounce 'Ya-rue-sha-LA-im')

My lovely lass who is Canadian but made up of Irish and Scot tips very nicely when we go out. I think she feels bad for the stereotype and does her best to try and break the mold.
Peters is the shit my friend. The guy has me in stitches every single time I see him on the tube or listen to him on the radio.
I remember way back once upon a time when he was a nobody and a buddy of mine worked at Yuk-Yuks, so he invited a few of us to see him and the rest of the show. Peters comes on stage and in a middle eastern accent says "who ordered the cab?". The place goes quiet thinking that some crazy cab driver decided to see if his fare was in the audience by grabbing the mike. That was my introduction to Peters and I have laughed with his jokes ever since. He is priceless when he is doing his dad at the barbeques.
