Okay, Please Explain This To Me...

[Guest YellowJacket894]

I just don't get it. I'm watching this show on Food network (found it by channel surfing) and people in China would rather eat a pigeon than a turkey.

What the hell!?

Nope, my parents aren't related, yes, you clearly did mean Chinese people are inbred...and no, you can't use the excuse of deadpan humor because 1) you don't even know what it is and claimed earlier that I was making it up, and 2) there are certain things you just don't say, even if you were attempting to deadpan.

[pow]

And anyway, maybe the TV-show-you-supposedly-saw-on-Food-Network was talking about ducks, which is understandable.

Mmmmmm... Peking Duck or roast duck...

your such a loser....gawd

[Croc]

That comment is generally considered to be a personal attack. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised at this point if a mod comes by to tell you to stop fighting and namecalling. Those kinds of comments should be taken to PM, like mine will be should I choose to continue this (I'm not).

[Charger4U]

sorry if i hurt your precious feelings andyour the one that got all uptight and started arguing in the first place...

[Camino LS6]

OK, let's take this down a notch.

Let's not do any racist joking and can the personal attacks.

I've been working too much -don't make me grumpy.

[Intrepidation]

I'm still pissed that they eat cats, can you can't say I'm lying cuz if you need a link I'll supply it

BTW croc...it was kinda funny, stupid, but worth a chuckle. lighten up. If you think that was "uncalled for" you've never watched Carlos Mancia Also.. the word "looser" is hardly a personal attack.

Gotta love them egg rolls though...and the General's Chicken....yum...heart attack city baby!

No, I believe you, but if you said that you saw it on the Food Network, I'd call BS and question why you'd start the entire thread. The whole "I was watching Food Network..." deal sounds like an excuse to bring up something on your mind.

Oh yeah, I agree there, food network wouldn't show that.

No, I don't watch him because that stuff isn't funny. I bet you chuckle when someone cracks a fried chicken and watermelon "joke," don't you? Or a stingy Jew "joke"? No, that stuff isn't funny; it's stupid and offensive, and I'm going to call anyone out when he/she posts racist $h! like that. This is 2006...shouldn't that stuff be dead?

Oh, and yea, "loser" technically counts as a personal attack...if the mods wanted to, they could warn him for that. Trust me...I wasn't offended in the least. My self esteem doesn't exactly depend on a 12-year-old's opinion of me

Now how about some Peking Duck...?

friend chicken and watermelon? wtf?

If you take the stuff he says seriously than sure, you've got a problem and will find it offense. but since the guy makes fun of himself just as much as everyone else, he's picking on everyone. that's the problem with so many people in this world. they need a sense of humor and stop taking everything so seriously. (right BV with that hood prop? )

Can I have that duck later? I already ate XD

People can be so sensitive... everybody takes things too seriously. Especially minor things... or even the cold, hard truth. Those are people who can't laugh at themselves. If you can't do that, you are most likely one of the ones who get offended easily. That means they have no sense of humor, what so ever, even if they think they do. So... yes, you are absolutely correct. Carlos Mencia is hilarious.

Not to but it's ok to make fun of yourself...you just need to be careful about making fun of others. Racist jokes aren't cool, unless you're making fun of your own race...and even then it can get old quickly.

I can most definitely laugh at myself...do it allllllll the time...but laughing at oneself is completely different than laughing at a racist joke when you're the target...that's just insulting. For example...BV...when the homophobic assholes at your HS make fag jokes and comments, do you sit there and laugh your butt off? Doubt it.

Look, I don't expect any of y'all to understand the difference. I really don't. Go ahead and be rude and offensive, but don't be surprised for it to come back and bite you in the butt one day.

It's not necesarily making fun of others, though... It's merely making fun of stereotypes. That's what Mencia does. If you watch it and pay attention, you'd notice that. He's not being racist, sexist, or anything like that. He and people like those homophobic assholes are different. One I can laugh at and one, I'm just offended by. There are differences. And again, some people just aren't open minded enough to do understand it. Also, this isn't directed at anyone and isn't justifying Charger's comment. Blame this on Dodgefan inspiring me to share my views...

Yea, the difference is that the homophobic assholes direct it to you. Seriously, if you want to make fun of stereotypes between your close friends, that's fine. Because your close friends know you. They KNOW you're not racist/homophobic/whatever. But other people don't know you, and that's why it's wise to use discretion about when such joking is appropriate and when it is not. On a message board, it really isn't, though Charger wasn't even making fun of stereotypes...just contributing to them.

croc youre retarded!...whoops did i say that? you werent offnded by it but yet you insist it was a "personal attack"...so basically you just wanted to get me warned out of spite....but yet you dont care what a 12 year old thinks..but youll get him out of spite? , you are seriously one funny guy croc...haha

What are you talking about? I didn't get you warned! If you were warned, that would be due to your own actions. Just because it counts as a personal attack on these boards doesn't mean it affected me in any way I was being nice by reminding you that comments such as that count as personal attacks...so you shouldn't be making them. I didn't even report your post.

That's really funny that you got warned, though, good job

Chinese Pigeon - 1 excellent pigeon, for dining onion shreds mashed garlic ginger shreds gourmet powder salt sugar powdered licorice root ginger powder ... Soak the pigeon in hot water for a while, then depilate it, remove the intestines, and clean ...

Everything is offensive on some level, you know?

[Enzora]

On Mencia, Chappelle, and all the other "racial" comedians out there: Sometimes they get tiresome and annoying, but fairly often, they weave a lot of social commentary into their acts, so I tend to like them. I'm not sure how many other people appreciate that about them, though.

Uh... not quite. I always laugh at stuff directed at me. I can laugh at gay jokes, white jokes, redneck jokes (as much as I hate them, I can't say confidently that I'm not one... haha), etc.. Again, this is all about being able to laugh at oneself and being overly sensitive and easily offended. People like this have no sense of humor. These are the type of people who don't like people like Carlos Mencia. These are people like the Gay activist group(s) that got offended by Dodge's Caliber commercial. These people take things too seriously.

And again, Mencia isn't making fun of certain races or people or certain sexes or sexuality... He's merely making fun of the stereotype people have. It's not certain ones either, he makes fun of stereotypes of everybody, including himself. There isn't joke he's made that I haven't laughed at...

Except you've definitely posted on here numerous times about how the homophobes at your school get you down. You shouldn't laugh at those anyway, because those comments aren't made in the spirit of good-natured ribbing.

Nope, I don't. If it isn't good-natured ribbing, it isn't nice and therefore isn't funny.

I hope you never drive a hybrid because you, George Clooney's acceptance speech at the Oscars, and the hybrid might create a destructive smug storm that might span half the country. By any chance, do you like the smell of your own farts?

Hmmm...not really. And no, I'd never drive a hybrid vehicle...too environmentally irresponsible. If I switch away from a gas engine, it will be to diesel/biodiesel.

I thought Clooney's acceptance speach was one of the best of the night

They're making fun of themselves...that's why it's less unacceptable for them to do what they do. That's my entire point. I do agree with Enzora, though...they can get tiresome quickly.

This thread is easily the most retarded thing in the entire history of the internet.

[Croc]

Why do you say that with sarcasm, Croc?  Tell us why Chicken's not Chinese.

First of all, it's impossible to prove a negative. Charger could prove that he's Chinese, which I'd be very interested to see, but it is impossible for me to prove he isn't.

Why am I certain he is not? Well, if he were he wouldn't have waited until the bottom of page 2 of the thread to proclaim that he is. Also, he would have said "I'm Chinese" and not "Well I'm Chinese then."

Furthermore, Charger lacks any phenotypical indicators of an Asian heritage. In fact, he looks pretty European to me.

Of course, all of this is completely immaterial due to the fact that he is an American citizen, living in Deadwood, South Dakota. That makes him American, not Chinese.

Any further questions?

[Croc]

you sterortyping S.O.B, are u saying i have to be somewhat darkskined to be chinese or  are u saying that all chinese cant be somewhat white? im am deeply offnded by that, infact im reporting you.
