I've seen people laugh at that though. That was my point.

I have to admit that we Greeks are very laid back and love all kinds of jokes. Yes we may mock the English, Americans, Germans and Turks but let me tell you that there are also a lot of jokes circulating here in Greece where we Greeks ridicule ourselves.

I'm always confused when someone calls out insensitivity and people say "political correctness" like they're going to lose their jobs or go to prison. People have such a problem hearing that they're insensitive that they start accusing people of persecution?
I'll just keep this simple then: jokes like that aren't nice and they hurt people's feelings. (And if that doesn't bother someone at this stage in our lives, nothing I can say will convince you that it should.) Thank you, lithium, for making the change and hearing what people were saying. It's appreciated. Deb |

I sent this joke to my best friend since high school and just got a response from her. I completely forgot how often I used to tell jokes:
Oh cuz, did you ever make my day! This is soooo you! This reminded me of your "Confucius Say" proverbs too ...and my most favorite and one that I never forget is : Confucius Say: Man who live in glass house... Dress in basement. hahahahahahahahahahaha I still remember that and it cracks me up and I tell it to everyone!

I think I am probably going WAAAY off-topic here but think if we strive to not offend, we will end up offending. It is kind of like non-smokers complaining about people smoking and it infringing on their right to breathe clean air. The smokers complain it is infringing on their right to smoke. It is a no-win situation and someone's rights are going to be infringed upon. Carrie |
