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 rape 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.
