Sorry Stu but no such animal as an apprentice train driver. Steering a train isn't a trade FFS.Ducatiboy stu said:Back in my day he would have been an apprentice
Yes Offence is taken, and I will continue to take offence at such remarks, even is intended as jokes. But clearly I am in the minority of people who think that such comments no longer have a place in civil society.Stouter said:Not looking to flame. Forgive me if you've heard it before and are over it, but offence is something which is taken, not given.
Ponder for a moment how the man in your own avatar Dali fared, after such a colourful life which included **** scandals, intellectual thievery, domestic abuse and racism. Great artist, top bloke, obviously well received in the 1970's, 80's, 90's.....

"Trainee" driver it is!
I'd argue however there's a gaping chasm between dumb, racially gratuitous, Kingswood Country style 'humor' delivered by a moron and sharp witted, percipient barbs handled by the likes of Jeff Ross or Greg Giraldo.JDW81 said:My uncle is Chinese and I didn't think it was hilarious.
I may just be an over-sensitive pinko, PC, lefty, who is sitting high on the so-called moral high horse, but I don't think comments like that are necessary in 21st century Australia.
There are plenty of ways to be funny, without reverting to 1970's racist gags, which are based on a person's physical features and are very much derogatory in nature.
Just my view-point.
Flame away, I'm an easy target up here on my excessively politically correct stallion.

As for Dali, I don't know anything about his life, only that I like his art. If what you say is true, I'd better remove it as my profile picture then.

Maybe that's why I don't have a sense of humour at the moment?

******** detectors are not racist.stm said:Interesting to see basically the same people rushing to the defence of Shorten/ALP who have condemned Hanson as a racist bigot for having essentially the same policies.
