Once again, where did you get the idea that I wanted to enforce my
opinion on rec.humor?

Thank you daddy I really like your suggestions. It's like asking
Bush to pollitely ask Hussain to get out of Kuwait.

No, then people would be more then happy to aggrivate more, I know
what kind of morans (not all but some) post to this rec.humor they are
willing to make fun of anything trashing any virtue or culture just
to make a joke. No, I thing what I did worked just fine.

What subjects are you talking about, I only referenced polack jokes.


The problem with these polack jokes is stereotyping, I dont want to 
be associated with some negative perceptions that people might have
about Polish people because of idiots like Brett or this Andrew Ford
guy. How would you like me talking negativly behind your back ruining your
personality and spreading false perceptions where people have a completely
negative opinion of you. I understand ethnic jokes because I lived in
Europe, but there these jokes were said to laugh along with not to laugh
at someone or make fun of someone.
