I suppose that if there was a well known pejorative term for "person who lives in Thailand" and we used it you might have occasion to feel a bit differently. Not for sure, nor for certain, but probably. From 1963 to 1972 we had a generally offensive term for the folks we were fighting, which I don't think they cared for very much. Point is we use offensive language to dehumanize our enemies. Each of us must decide if we will laugh, or ignore, or be offended, or respond. I choose the latter case to say that I've lost considerable respect for you.

American here, and ditto. I personally have little respect for religion of any kind, but pejoratives have no place in discourse. We used to call some people gooks and chinks because it made it easier for us to not feel bad for killing them. I don't think that's a good thing.

 

Everyone does it to some degree, it's unavoidably part of human nature.

Well I thought it was funny.

I even told it to a few people today as well.
They thought it was funny too! (One preacher included).

I am glad my butt is not as politically sensitive as some people tend to be. Otherwise I would probably need a 'special cream' or something.

Keep em comming Boncuk!

I think it was kind of stupid. And please, preacher? They don't have to be any better than other people so it doesn't mean much unless it was an Islamic preacher.

American Imperialist?

I didn't know that I was possibly supposed to maybe be offended by that.

Sorry, I need to improve my english (including insults). Do you have any more effective suggestion to fix it?

EDIT: I found one

Well, the USA has certainly been the most imperialistic nation since the end of World War 2, there is no question about that. Throughout history, it was England. It took two world wars to finally put an end to the British Empire.

But I don't think this joke is unfunny because it's politically incorrect, it's simply not funny.

 

Each to their own I reckon, I got a decent chuckle out of it so did my wife and son.....

Man, if the world would waste less time worrying about offending or being offended and just have a beer and laugh out loud, we'd probably have less worries.

 

So am I to understand that we have a double standard? It is most definitely not OK to insult an individual member. I should know I've been banned for doing it. But under the guise of humor it is OK to insult and offend entire groups of members? This is pernicious cant of the very worst kind. We have members from Islamic countries and this reflects poorly on each and every one of us. Members who think this kind of thing is amusing or funny should be ashamed of themselves, but the moderators who perpetuate this pernicious situation bear an even greater responsibility. We might need to spend more time worrying about this situation than less. It might just be one reason why we find ourselves in our current situation. That's my opinion and you all are stuck with it.
