just heard a 'joke' about hippies on the radio

Dude, please... The joke was lame, but innocent.

 

I think I explained my point fairly articulately, and I wasn't rude or abusive. Which is more than I can say for you.

If you have at some point been set on fire, as the righteous indignation here seems to suggest, then yes, I could see why you might be offended.

Has someone set fire to you recently?

Despite your baseless judgements, I have experienced violence, and am aware that its source was not throwaway jokes from the radio.

But this is hardly relevant.

If you are in fact the regular victim of anti-hippy fire-wielding gangs, please accept my apologies,

You are indeed in the right here

 

Oh nice one, cheers mate!

Nah, I see what you mean. It boils down to ego boosting and the lack of an open mind. Those kinds of people will always take things in as opposed to thinking for themselves. They will be running off sources. Shit, where would any of them be without television, the almighty brainwashing leader of the present day human race? These kinds of people will get ideas from things they see or hear instead of forming their own ideas; they hang round in gangs hardly ever forming their own opinions, sharing stereotypical viewpoints which they'vce no doubt took in from a media source; so in that respect I suppose if your audience actually HAS shit for brains, jokes of that nature are a deathtrap in the making.
With shit for brains, dependency on fellow scumbags, ravenous drug addictions, concealed weapons, a taste for crime and no fear of law or prison, I think it's safe to say everyone should watch their backs.

These aren't fun times we're living in; especially Britain.

Just watch a few episodes of 'Street Wars' (Sky 3)... and as if these kinds of people aren't going to get ideas from some of things you see on that!Even though the program could be intended as a scare tactic and thought provoker, you know groups of scum are going to be sat watching criminal acts thinking ''Ey up.....''

 

around here it's more like 'er yup'...and yeah, giving them any encouragement at all to be violent is NOT a good idea...

 

''ey up'', ''e yup'' ''hey up'', ''high up'', ''ey yup'' ''er yup''

same thing.
That's what I meant, for want of a better phrase.

 

I still think revising the joke thusly would be hilarious: "what is orange and red and looks good on a lawyer? fire."

actualy my dad is a lawyer and he's told me more offensive lawyer jokes than anyone. he can be pretty closed minded about some stuff but he can laugh at himself

 

Why didn't the lifeguard save the hippie from drowning?
He was too far out
---------------------------------------------------------

A hippie on a city bus notices a young nun sitting across from him and at once finds himself very attracted to her. He moves to sit with her and after telling her that she is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen, he asks her to dinner.

The nun declines, and the hippie proceeds to invite the nun for "perhaps a roll in the hay". The nun, of course, declines the offer and gets off at the next stop.

The hippie, offended and very disappointed, strikes up a conversation with the bus driver. The driver leans over and says to the hippie, "You really want that nun, huh?"

After the hippie nods emphatically and demonstrates his point with several lewd gestures, the driver grins and thinks for a moment.

"Well," he says, "Every Thursday at six PM she takes this bus to the local cemetery, where she prays for about an hour. You two could be alone there..."

The hippie grows excited as he thinks of a plan.

Thursday comes and the hippie waits by the entrance to the cemetery. Sure enough, at six PM he sees the nun enter and he quietly follows her. She stops and kneels by a headstone and clasps her hands in prayer.

The eager hippie opens his knapsack, and puts on his costume---a long flowing white robe and a bearded face mask. He tosses a handful of glitter at the nun and catching her attention, he steps slowly towards her.

"My child" he says in a soft voice, "It is I, your Lord. You have been such a faithful servant to me, I have come to reward you with a satisfying sexual experience."

The nun gasps, "Oh....Well, that is fine, but could you take me from behind? At least that way I could still consider myself a virgin. My vow of celibacy is important to me."

The hippie, eager to get going nods and takes the nun in his arms. He turns her around, bends her over, and performs anal sex until they are both pleasantly worn out.

After they are finished, the hippie pulls off his mask and shouts... "HAHA, I'M THE HIPPIE!!!"

to which the nun responds by taking off her mask and shouting... "HAHA, I'M THE BUS DRIVER!!!"

 

Haha
