I knew (and told) a bunch of off-color, racist, sexist jokes...when I was 14.



I had them all.  

Every now and again I get reminded of one and tell it to the kids so they can tell me how awful that was!

Word are harmless. Let me know the last time a word physically injured anyone.

I am not responsible for how you feel about yourself. You are responsible for that, you have the power to allow someone's actions to hurt your feelings or you can laugh it off. I guess if you are ok with giving others power over you then you will have that problem.

I agree that Huckabee would have been better off not saying it, but is it really racism if it's a mostly true statement?

The remainder seem to be people like Limbaugh, Beck, O'Reilly, et al who pander to these disgruntled, bitter white guys to support their lifestyle.

but they'll be damned if someone else is going to have an easier time reaching mediocrity than they did.  

also.  stay the **** off my lawn.

If words are harmless why do you complain about profanity?  Even as I type this you are in another thread complaining I insulted you because I quoted you?  Why are you complaining about insults?  Why do the rules here prevent me from expressing exactly how I feel about your level of intelligence?

A joke.   Which does not hurt anyone.   Is it racist when someone makes a white person joke?   No, because it's funny to make fun of each other.

For a guy who freaks about manners and common people not cussing in public is seems weird that you're fine with a man running for office making racist jokes.

Blatantly untrue. Even the Supreme Court does not take such a lax approach to speech.

I'll bet anything that if I said certain things about, say, your wife and children, there would be enormous potential for harm--for both of us.
