Honestly, I just wanted to make a stupid kid joke about pharts, not hurting anyone. Things have gone really mad since that.

From what I understand, H-jokes should be mega-offensive to me due to his "Tour de Pologne". They're not. I actually embrace stereotypes, including ones about my own nation and find them funny.

The way I understand it is that nobody's actually calling german people "nazi", we're just having a go at a distant past for shits and giggles.

I don't get the commotion about the N-word either, perhaps that's why it's so casual for me.

If you take them so seriously, fine, I suppose that I'll cut my naughty jokes in half, just because I don't like offending anyone. I can't warrant for the others, though.

The 1st rule of internet jokes is what follows:

"The bigger fuss you make about it the more often you'll have to deal with it." ~Foxi4, "The Lawlz of Teh Internetz", 2010.

You're still a happy "white-tiger-eurodance-clubber" for each and every single one of us - I know those guys aren't nazi's by any standard X3

Reason: Minor grammar mistakes X3

i got into my share of fights (RL and online) over the
n-word (i used that pretty liberally for quite some time too),
the nazi bullshit (and yeah, i met polish people that could not
take it at all) and even yomama! jokes. the first rule should
be: "if you somehow managed to really offend someone due to
a lack of understanding, you better cut that shit out."

the n-word is not offensive to me, i met black people that
were cool with it, but i also met some that weren't. i can't
put myself in that place, i'm not black, i have no idea what it feels
like for them, and neither can any non-german ever truly understand what
it feels like for a german to be confronted with the same
old tired hitler nazi bullshit time and time again.
we, as a people, are ridiculous enough without having to resort
to the darkest place in our history as a source for lulz.
like i said, there's wurst and lederhosen and funny accents and scooter
and tokyo hotel and the scorpions, our love for hasselhoff,
our lack of humour, our butt-ugly chancellor and incompetent
government, and yet the first thing i get confronted with time after time after time
is idiots that call me a nazi or greet me with "heil hitler".
i know it's silly to have any form of cultural sensitivity on the
web, but in the last couple days the stupid nazi bullshit just kept on coming on
here and it just reached a point where i'm really fed up, mainly
because it just mirrors the lack of intelligence and creativity in people.
"oh i see a german flag in his profile, i know, how about i call
him hitler or jew-hater, won't that be funny?"
no dillweed, it won't! make fun of me for being gay for brad pitt (i am a little!),
of the ridiculous cat in my sig or even of my postcount, call me noob
or whatnot, but at least show me that you took the time to insult
me on a level that goes deeper than "ouh hes german, germans are nazis by default".
i'm a big fan of stereotypes too, but can we agree on using them creatively at least?

1) The fuzz you create, creates the jokes. I'm Belgian, and there's loads to laugh about that. The typical thing'd be beer-guzzling, waffle-eating, chocolate-shitting people you can just walk over (HEY, NAZI REFERENCE IN THERE! ). The lack of government for over 3 years, all the holes in our streets, the utter idiocy of our politicians, the corruption here... they're ALSO all stuff you can laugh about. The thing plenty of people online do, though, is ignore that (except for the waffles), and go: "Hey, he's Belgian so he's got to be a pedophile!" Just for the record, I'm not a pedophile, but see if I care 'bout being called one by some kid on the internet. If I make a fuzz about it, more'll flock to it. If I just shrug it off, it'll stop immediately. Plus, I honestly just don't give a shit 'bout it

2) It sucks not being able to handle confrontation of Nazis. You can barely watch any TV then, read any newspaper or magazine, or play any game. Watching Indiana Jones? Oh, they're having a laugh 'bout Nazis there. Playing Wolfenstein? Oh, they're having a laugh about Nazis there. If you can't handle that, then it's you who has a problem, not everybody else. If you can handle it, then why get so strong 'bout what people can and can't joke about? Are you German, or are you Chinese?

3) I already forgot this point, so let's just bring up 99 Luftballons. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJp6XuM-f2o

4) Everything you'll say from now on, I'll read as: "SIECH HEIL! SIECH HEIL!"

i have no problem with killing nazis in games or movies or whatnot,
i love indy, past captain adored wolfenstein (the first one),
i laugh my ass off at cartman in nazi uniform, no problem there.
it's not like i wanna defend the 3rd reich against mockery or anything,
i just wanna be seen as a different kinda german, same as you not wanting to
be called a pedophile cuz of what one nutjob did over ten yrs ago
(btw, what does a mole say when he's digging underneath belgium? "hey kids!" ).
why cant we let bygones be bygones and focus on the things that
make us laughable right now? also, for us, the 3rd reich really is
no laughing matter, there's a tendency to mock hitler in the german media
by now, and its mostly silly unfunny rubbish, and i and loads of other people
cant stand it. like i said before, a non-german cant understand,
you gotta live with it every day, its part of our education, our media, our general discussion,
our collective conscience if you will, and i dont go online to face the
same shit again all day every day.
also, if you'd faced the same flak over dutroux that i did over hitler
the past couple days, i would totally understand if you blew a fuse
and went on a ranting spree.
i'm no whiny bitch normally, it just reached my personal boiling point.

btw, hitler really is no laughing matter, or



and again, take notes, folks!

I see that our community is forced to pick on a different dictator. After much research and careful planning I personally picked the perfect candidate.

Not only the man was responsible for multiple crimes against humanity, but recent studies also suggest that he was capable of controlling the power of rainbows...! God help us all, it's...



Embrace this new leader with the respect he deserves and include him in your puns from now on.

What's up guys.

meh, i'm more of a kim yong ill kinda guy.
he's a film buff, he directed his own monster movie,


is a bad-ass at shooting hoops (and dissidents),
and he can wear anything,



or well, nothing.



also, he directs his own musicals and can sing like an
angel.



stalin's got shit-all on him, really!
he really puts the "ill" in kim yong ill.

no, scratch that, he shall henceforth be known as

"M.C. Pimp Yong Ill"

(i'm fairly certain he's awesome at spittin rhymes, too!)
