flyhi 24 #1 November 15, 2002 A friend at work told this non-PC joke: Q: If you are riding in a cab with Saddam Hussein, Ossama bin Ladin, and Al Sharpton and you have a gun with two bullets in it, what do you do? A: You shoot Al Sharpton twice. I thought it was incredibly insensitive and roundly berated him for it. I can't understand how people can find mirth in items like that with the current worldwide human condition in which we wallow. Was I wrong for doing so?Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kingbunky 3 #3 November 15, 2002 no, you were entirely correct to do so. posting it here to illustrate your point was also entirely correct. we should all pass this around to show others and example of a non-pc joke, if indeed this piece of filth and hate-mongering could be considered a joke.

freeflir29 0 #5 November 15, 2002 Unfortunately, most Americans know who Al Sharpton is. Of course, we also know that he is a complete buffoon!!!!!!!!! I vote for shooting Al twice and exiting the vehicle BEFORE the CIA strike. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhreeZone 15 #10 November 15, 2002 Ran across this quote and can't decide if its very PC or not PC just due to the speaker.... "Naturally the common people don't want war . But after all, it is the leaders of a country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country." --Hermann Goering (1893-1946), WWI fighter ace, creator of the German secret police, Commander-in-Chief of the Luftwaffe, designated successor to Adolf Hitler. Said during the 1946 Nuremburg Trials.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,150 #15 November 15, 2002 QuoteGet out of the car quickly before the CIA nuke you with a remote control nasty.... I'll admit that's the first thought that crossed my mind, too. And I loved the Goering quote. Boy howdy, it's great to be an American sometimes! But, y'know, the great part about being an American is being able to talk, just like this, in a public forum, and not be too scared of reprisals. Which is why Poindexter's data mining proposal is so scary. Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChileRelleno 0 #19 November 15, 2002 Screw being "PC"!!!!!!!!!! If somebody is offended by something, toughtittie! I detest this "PC" crap with a vengeance. If they can't take a joke or handle being told something straight up, without a sugarcoating, without whining and crying about whatever "OFFENDED" them then toughtittie... If your fat your fat, if your ugly and stink, if your a stupid dipstick politician, if you dislike (whoever/whatever) feel free to sound off ect... Blah Blah Blah RANT RAVE Blah Blah Blah, I'll stop now.P.S. I'd shoot Saddam in the head and just dump'em in the street, then shoot Osama and collect the reward and finally after berating MR.Sharpton for awhile probably pistolwhip him once or twice so maybe just MAYBE it might sink into his thick skull.
