When, as a society, did we lose our sense of humor? The comment by the representative regarding NASCAR and inoculations was, in my opinion, quite funny. We live in a time where only certain groups of people can joke and poke fun at others. It's aright for women to make jokes about men, but if the tables are turned, it's sexist and insensitive. It's alright for Chris Rock to talk about white people, calling them 'crackers' but you can't tell jokes about black people (yes, I said black, not all black people are African-American). People get mad at a wine called 'Gato *****' even though it's in a different language and is translated as Black Cat wine, yet has nothing to do with the English equivalent. Why can't we just get over ourselves and laugh a little. I make blind jokes all the time. I also make fat jokes too. Being fat and blind - should I be mad at myself? Should I sue myself for defimation of character? Should I have an article featured in Yahoo! as a bad person? Get over it!!!

When opportunist politicians and minority group leaders found that they can gain power and wealth by making these items you talked about real issues.

You started to lose it when people became afraid to fail or tell anyone else that they had.
There is much humor in failure. Ever watch the 3 stooges, all that slap stick comedy was about people messing up.
I on the other hand being an unreconstructed rebel and a red neck laugh when I think something is funny.
No I'm not always well thought of, that's part of the fun of being me. If you have a problem with anything I say or do then you have a problem.

This is where society goes wrong.
While it's definitely wrong to hurt people for how they look or who they are, it's also wrong to jump on this merry-go-round of political correctness which is spiralling so far out of control.
Our "free" society becomes more restricted by day.
The right to free speech has been destroyed.
This is the "great democracy" that wants to change the world ?? It's a joke.

Jokes are words laughing out loud at us, but we often do not see thought in that light. A group of words may cross my mind ; why did they do that? I get to choose from the effects it had for me, weather to share it openly, sometimes that group of words is funny to me , was it a private thought shared between me and my mind? probably. When I find these kind of word groups crossing my mind; I often just write them down on paper first. but society has been eager to learn more about the workings of the mind and it has provided a media for that expression, some find the humor offensive because their own mind did not let the group of words cross. this happens allot. and is something to think about . not only does the body reproduce itself; the mind has it's own private party going on.

It turned right into a stupid tasteless prank it quite is all. The nurse sounded truly sweet and so satisfied to be of help ,which makes all of it the sadder. i do not trust for one minute that the well being middle did not in a roundabout way compound her horror at what she did by using chastising her contained in the roundest words. And finally are a tactics more desirable responsible than the DJ's. yet to respond to your question; convinced i imagine it has to a good volume.

In a vacuum, I would find a lot of things funny...but the left turns purple with apoplexy every time somebody on the right misspeaks, and then it becomes incumbent upon the right to find fault when the left slips up and says something stupid...Both sides are waiting, every day, for somebody to say something they can paint as racist or anti-troop or anything that smacks of "hypocrisy"...so how can anybody have a sense of humor in that climate?

you are so right. I love off-color jokes while they are not always politically correct, it does not mean they are not funny. by the way, how do you make a Venetian blind? answer, you poke him in the eyes. come on America, lets get our humor back.

Maybe as the size and powers of a State increase, each citizen loses indidual power. So he often then turns to the State to protect him from whatever insult he thinks he gets from his neighbours, instead of laughing it away like the free man he used to be.
By the way, did you like my questions about dancing lemurs last night?

first of all he made his staffers get actual inoculations before they went to the race. Secondly the left started this little thing called political correctness.

I'm not apologizing. My life collapsed after "Bambi". I was a lovable fawn alright, unusable for anything else.... but I was finished. When the porn "Bambi" came along, well, I thought, this is where I get something back... If it hadn't been for the chance to present University Challenge and start a new life, I'd be giving executive relief to woodland creatures to this very day
