I think the definition is pretty clear: any joke on the subject of Jews in Europe in the years 1933-1945 is a holocaust joke. I agree there is a problem with that. For example, here is a play-on-words holocaust joke in Hebrew which is not problematic or controversial-
What makeup did Partisan Jewesses put on?
Natsnatsim. Now for the meaning- Nazis in Hebrew is Natsim and Natsnatsim means glitter.
The joke could be made on regular Partisan women, but for some reason it's on Jews. There's another holocaust joke I know which is just the opposite of this one, and is a horrible one that would supply the producers with lots of lawsuits.

I'm happy to see not every Jew-related joke makes you annoyed.

Of course, because you're tall, blond, and... do you have blue eyes? Seriously, though, I've heard some pretty nasty stories about neo-nazis. As it happens, some of them occurred in subways...

Actually, the only Jew related jokes that do annoy me are horrible holocaust jokes like the one I was talking about. I have a lot of self-humour. Unless the joke is actually meant to hurt Jews.

Yes. But he was really nice. We talked about football and beer, mostly.

They ain't popular nowhere, buddy. Except Israel. They have a lot of rights here. Israel sure is a stupid country. The government wants to be so democratic, it hates Jews.

Edit: there's this soldier who got kidnapped 5 years ago by the Hamas. Now the government wants to release a 1,000 prisoners with blood on their hands in exchange for him. Sure, one guy's gonna be back home, but what is the price? I can at least hope they will actually return him.

Second edit: I just found out about this guy, Ron Paul. He's an ignoramus dick when it comes to Israel, but when he talks about drugs...

Amazing! This video is my bible! And he actually wants to legalize heroin! I'd vote for him if it didn't mean the end of Israel.

I’ve been reading what the moderators used to say about me in the mods’ forum back in 2008 and 2009. It’s crazy how much fun it is. Feels sort of like travelling back in time and observing my younger self from a hidden vantage point – a new angle. I never would have imagined I’d be in this situation back then.

Wait, why are you so interested in heroin being legalised? I get the personal responsibility stuff, but I’m not sure if I’d like my young and impressionable relatives to have easy access to hard drugs.

iambored, why on Earth would you want to legalize cocaine? I can't think of a single productive reason why.

That sounds like a blast. I'd love to ask what some of those things were, but I guess I'll just have to wait my turn. :mrgreen:

In the mean time, here's something hilarious:

Oops! I've just noticed I did a mistake and wrote heroine. Why is this the only one without an 'e' at the end? Oh well, no harm done.
In response to you two, it is simply for the freedom. I praise freedom, and if you legalize LSD, for example, or ecstasy, you have to legalize everything. It's all or nothing. And when I say nothing, I also mean alcohol, nicotine, caffeine and (maybe) chocolate. You're right that cocaine, morphine and heroin are a bit controversial, and I'm starting to have second thoughts about them, but I stand by my point. What about you? Do you think at least pot should be legalized?

I'm not heavily against pot, but I don't really support it either. Like anything, as long as it's used in moderation it's fine. Same goes for alcohol, smoking, caffeine, and even chocolate. They can be stress relievers and actually make you feel better in certain circumstances, especially in medicinal use, and that's understandable. I don't agree with it, but it's understandable. Addiction is the dangerous thing to avoid.

The beef I have with such harder drugs as LSD, cocaine, mushrooms et-cetera, is that #1, they're MUCH worse for you, and #2, they serve no stress-relieving purpose and actually make you feel worse afterward. The only reason anyone would take harder drugs is because they've tried it once, and there's something in it that makes them want more. The whole purpose of hard drugs is to make black-market money. If it were legal and sold in stores, it would basically be selling deadly catnip for people. What's the point?

At least tobacco/pot can calm you down if you're stressed, caffeine can give you conscious energy when needed (as opposed to hallucinating with crack), and alcohol, if used in moderation, is just a nice every day drink. Hard drugs completely separate you from reality, which like I've said, is the most pointless thing in the universe. You can easily find a person that acts normal that smokes tobacco or pot or drinks, but you'll never find a seemingly normal-behaved person that's addicted to hard drugs. There's a spectrum of drugs out there, but some cross the line and just become dangerous to both the user and the people around them.

Firstly, every drug can be, and is, used for medicinal purposes. Even heroin, when used in moderation, is just fine. All the stories you hear about drug addicts killing and such for money are stories which will continue to occur even after all drugs are legalized. The people who do those things are the kind of people who'd always have this problem.
Secondly, as far as I know, LSD is the only drug to which you can get addicted after one time. Also, if these drugs were legal, as Mr. Paul said, not everyone would buy them. In America, for example, it's not that hard getting drugs, but you don't see everyone walking the streets with pipes or syringes, skinny as hell.
I'm pretty sure cocaine has somewhat the same effect as caffeine, only much more intense. It's not an hallucinogenic drug.
Lastly, a metaphor. Say you make alcohol illegal, who're the kind of people who'd still get in a lot of trouble just to get some? Addicts, that's who. Just like when alcohol was illegal in America. Most people who'd usually drink some wine or beer with friends just wouldn't drink it, because it's dangerous to society. Now replace alcohol with drugs.

Different things have different effects, and the effects of hard drugs are generally much worse than the effects of alcohol. People do hard drugs for the sole purpose of getting high, because there is no other purpose. Most people however don't drink for the sake of getting drunk.

No, they drink because of bad habits. In other words, they're addicted. Believe me, I know, everyone in my family's addicted to alcohol and caffeine. They admit it, but they won't stop. Idiots. Thankfully, my dad despises alcohol, so me and my brother puke our souls out every time we drink it. It's just a matter of nurture. On the other hand, both my dad and my mom are addicted to coffee, but my brother doesn't drink a sip. I used to be addicted. To prove to my family my case wasn't as bad as theirs, I stopped drinking for half a year. It made me spring a few centimeters and I've completely stopped drinking coffee.

I only drink coffee ocasionally, and it must be a weak version of it. I remember trying to drink once a strong version and it was enough to make me go to the hospital. My stomach didn't react well at all.

Me too, but it is all a matter of habit now.

I also had to get used to Stacey's colour changing to green, Xenon's changing to red, and some regular members getting their colours changed to orange.
