By 'near the knuckle' i presume you mean racist in the extreme?
Racists jokes have no place on this or any other forum. I've asked the mods to delete them.
Nothing to do with political correctness Frank. "Jokes" about putting bombs in Mosques cannot be considered appropriate any way you look at it and the others just perpetuate negative racial stereotypes.
"You see, I think drugs have done some good things for us. I really do. And if you don't believe drugs have done good things for us, do me a favor. Go home tonight. Take all your albums, all your tapes and all your CDs and burn them. 'Cause you know what, the musicians that made all that great music that's enhanced your lives throughout the years were rrreal ****ing high on drugs. The Beatles were so ****ing high they let Ringo sing a few tunes."

I hope you will go to the South Wales - Attractions thread and report the racist jokes there too. After all, we wouldn't want people thinking you were a hypocrite would we.

racist in the Extremist surely?
I phoned up the spiritual leader of Tibet, he sent me a large goat with a long neck, turns out I phoned dial-a-lama.
Since some people were offended by the joke re the bomb I chose to delete it not the Mods.

Point taken however should I complain about stereotypical jokes about Scots being drunk etc or the usual joke that insinunates that the Irish are supposedly stupid?

Interesting point. I suppose it depends on the impact that racial stereotyping has on the group as a whole.
For example black people are six times more likely than white to be stopped and searched by the police. However of those stopped just 9% are arrested. So do jokes that imply all black peoples are criminals perpetuate a stereotype that has a negative impact on the majority of black people not involved in crime?
There has been some research that found that Irish people in England do feel that negative stereotypes have had an effect on their employment prospects and they way they are treated generally.
So while jokes that reinforce these racial stereotypes may be fairly innocuous in themselves there are cumulative effects.
Just found this in a Boat mag(someones pride & joy)
Richard is king as far as deciding what goes on this forum and what gets removed.

A similar comparison was made between W A Mozart and Andrew Lloyd-Weber.
"Mozart was a little composer who farted a lot, Lloyd-Weber composed a lot."

UP
Be sure to Read until the end... you'll laugh.
This two-letter word in English has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that word is 'UP.' It is listed in the dictionary as an [adv], [prep], [adj], [n] or [v].
It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP?
At a meeting, why does a topic comeUP? Why do we speak UP, and why are the officers UPfor election and why is itUP to the secretary to write UP a report? We callUP our friends, brightenUP a room, polish UP the silver, warmUP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and fixUP the old car.
At other times, this little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UPexcuses.
To be dressed is one thing but to be dressedUP is special.
And this UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP.
We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night. We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP!
To be knowledgeable about the proper uses ofUP, look UP the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4 of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions.
If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UPa lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more.
When it threatens to rain, we say it is cloudingUP. When the sun comes out, we say it is clearing UP. When it rains, the earth soaks itUP . When it does not rain for awhile, things dryUP. One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP, for now . . . my time is UP!
Oh . . . one more thing: What is the first thing you do in the morning and the last thing you do at night?
U P!
Did that one crack you UP?
Don't screw UP. Send this on to everyone you look UP in your address book . . . or not . . . it'sUP to you.
