Alright, ahem. . .

The year is 2104. A father and son are walking though New York City, while on vacation. They soon come upon a huge memorial, and the son asks, "Daddy, what is this memorial for?
"Well son, you see, about a hundred years ago some Arabs crashed 2 planes into the huge twin towers that used to be here. The towers collapsed, and this is a memorial for all of the people who died."
The son thinks about this for a moment, and then casually says, "Daddy, what's an Arab?"

ROTFL! Isn't that hilarious!!! :D :D :D

Yeah, sure, all arabs in the world are dead because USA invaded Afghanistan. So every time there is a major war against a people that means the whole damn people is destroyed?

Yes, sure :rolleyes:. You know, you're so damn funny. *cough*Stereotypes*cough* *cough*

"This memorial is from the day when the arabs started a war on the Americans."

"Dad? What's an 'American'?"

Not funny? Certainly not. But it's just the same. Just that all those people die doesn't mean that the whole nation does.

first of all if your talking about arabs then your talking about saudi arabia and NOT AFGHANISTAN so they r not arabs
you could change the joke to terrorists but then that wouldnt be so funny anymore

thats too much stereotyping u cant be aginst every arab(correction afghani) in the world. i can undertsnad if your against terrorism but putting yourself against afghani's.

and once again arabs are not afghani's!!

The year is 2104. A father and son are walking through Hiroshima City, while on vacation. They soon come upon a huge memorial, and the son asks, "Daddy, what is this memorial for?
"Well son, you see, more than a hundred years ago the americans launched a nuclear bomb on this city killing millions of civilians and this is a memorial for all of the people who died."
The son thinks about this for a moment, and then casually says, "Daddy, what's an American?"

ROTFL! Isn't that hilarious!!! :D :D :D

The death of human beings is never hilarious. Even less when caused by the hand of another human. When it happens to some one close to you that you love a lot, maybe you will be able to understand this.

as somebody wisely said in his signature

Guns, aeroplanes, and bombs dont kill people. People kill people. Weapons only make it really easy

and killing isnt something in my opinion to be proud of

I got a slightly better one. Not by much, though:

edit: Removed it. Slightly offensive :)

I'm not complaining about your e-mail connections, but about what you do with them. You can't post whatever you want and say that it was just a joke.

He did say "Isn't that hilarious!!!" That's a question (sort of). People were replying to the question.

I don't think it was funny either.

Well that would be mine.. Its not quite the exact thing, its more related to the issue of guns but...

I'm wise! :D

Also, the joke really isn't that funny, but if the kid in it was, say, Ralph Wiggum, then it would make more sense to me

GUYS! SAY THIS WITH ME: IT IS A JOKE! J-O-K-E, JOKE! WHAT is the big deal! I never said I made this up! MAN, YOU GUYS TOOK THIS WAY TOO LITERALLY! HOLY. . . Whew, step down from the flaming booth and take a look at what you just scorched to death. I 4 sentance JOKE! WOW! Oivey, it's just a joke. . . Most jokes aren't meant to be taken absolutely literally. . . If only you guys would build up the good stuff as much as you flame the bad stuff. . . :( If it's offensive to anyone I'll delete the thread, ok?

Thrawn no need to delete it. Yeah its a bad joke but humor is subjective. I saw Jay Leno had the dancing Bin Ladens. I think that's going to far. Just 'cause I feel that way doesn't mean that it's wrong though. Some(most) of the funniest jokes I've heard would be insulting to someone, somewhere(especially Polish people, give them a break already:D).

Besides, I'd much rather read a joke that I thought wasn't funny than a post from some idiot saying we should just nuke Afganistan.





Oh yeah. I still don't think it's funny. ;)

well ok i'll take it as a joke..(even though i am part arab and its not fair to say that it is there fault that osama bin laden is fighting a mad holy war on american. you assume that since someone is from a certain area that they are terrorist and that they should be abliterated from the face of this planet! and i lied im not part arab but i still think that it is wrong to say it is the arabs fault. actualy most arabs are tryin got help us, but we assume that they are scum and we can make stupid corny jokes about them):mad: :mad: :mad:

This ...and the first joke Are both funny

I agree, about the comment of stereotypes, but the funniest jokes are based on stereotypes. Have you ever laughed from a "politically-correct" joke?

WOw this thread has caused strong reaction from other people concerning the lives of Human Being. This thread pretty much make you aware of the power of Mankind. We have the ability to destroy our self in one war. That is quite scary to me. America is really the only nation that has the power to destroy anything. There is no way to escape from our ability to imagine and then create a mass of destruction weapons... I shudder at the very thought of a nuclear war. I believe people like Osamo Bin Laden is the people that will use those kind of weapon and ignite a nuclear war. This is the reason why I agree with President Bush to develop a Missle Shield or some kind of shielding technolgy. This way we will elimate the fear of nukes. Only the enemies of American and America allies will have to fear nukes. I could ramble on forever about this but I wont. I just thought i would mention this...:)

"Well son, you see, more than a hundred years ago the United States elected a president named George W. Bush and this is a memorial for all of the people who died due to all his mistakes."
The son thinks about this for a moment, and then asks, puzzled: "The united states?".
