Satire week begining 29/03/2004 - Page 5 - Politics Forum.org | PoFo

Wandering the information superhighway, he came upon the last refuge of civilization, PoFo, the only forum on the internet ...

Political and non-political satire; all those terribly biased analogies live here.

Offend me? I'm a civil Libertarian. I'll defend the right for the klan to shout from the rooftops like anyone else and i'm a minority. Its called being secure and if it bothers you ignore it.


Ohh bullshit, your one of those conservatives who say that critizing the president is unpatriotic?

Then that means Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and any republican who critized Bill Clinton durring 1992-2000 was anti-american.

fine, you can stick up for people's right to do whatever they want, but puting a big no sign across the french flag is not funny, it is offensive, and if you find discriminating against an ethnic group funny i hold a great deal of contempt for you.

sokath wrote:Alright, first of all Christ, you've posted half of the images in this thread before. Second, most of them are merely hate-mongering towards the French and Muslims. I don't care if you want to try and seperate the "Islamists" from the other Muslims, the images you have posted here are blatantly offensive to all Muslims. And don't even let me get started on your French images.

Finally, the images you're posting are not even satire, they're just doctored images made by American fundies. TAL may post images from strangecosmos or that holy burger site, but at least he has the common decency to post images that are actually satirical in nature. Use your Yale-educated head.

Any more of the crap you've been posting here will be deleted without notice.

edit: I don't care if you want to poke fun at French foreign policy, or Chirac, something else. But to mock the French as a people is entirely inappropritate. By the same token, in the interests of fairness, I will also be cracking down on any derisive or bad-taste "satire" directed towards other groups.

S./


You know you are reaching. All the images were satire. So I trust you will be deleting the satire on israel, because that is a Jewish state, also I trust you will be deleating the Anti American posts. Why is it ok on this site for people to proclaim they hate america, and don't recognise Israels right to exist, but posting satire mocking a government and fundamentalism is not. The adult thing would to do would simply be to get over it, but i'm intrested to see "fair and balanced" this policy of yours will be. By the way Colin Powell and Condoleeza rice are african americans, and thats offensive, so I trust you will be on top of that one.

thx for just giving up on the first point, makes it easier for the both of us.

Yes, I consider them an ethnic group, just because they look like the people does not mean they are, do you consider Kurds Turks because they look the same?

I'm still trying to figure out how you figure an ethnic group out of a nation, Besides the fact that the point of the picture had nothing to do with that, it was saying america is the true red white and blue.

Pop Quiz:The is a no symbol on an american flag, what ethnic group are americans?

ethnic group

n : people of the same race or nationality who share a distinctive culture

The french are from the same nation and do have a distinct culture that goes back thousands of years, so unless you are calling the dictionary wrong they are an ethnic group.

How do you get that from an big no sign over the french flag?
Maybe if it had a caption under it you could get it from that, but it doesn't.

If someone put that on a store window I don;t think it would be taken like that.

Americans don't really have a distinctive culture yet.

You made the assumption and interpreted your own way, the same as sokath, if you don't agree with something thats easy to do.

The french are from the same nation? So there are no arabs? persians? jews? africans? russians?
So any satire against israel is a thousand times worse, because you are mocking an affirmed jewish state.
And you know France has changed? they went secular awhile ago.

Americans don't really have a distinctive culture yet

Hmmmmmm. Whats all that art and entertainment we export? Faulkner?Rap music? heavy metal. Country, urban wear, nfl, hollywood, I could go on and on, But as usual on this forum you can say anything about America but every thing else is a sacred cow.

Who the hell are you trying to kid when you say that a big cross through a french flag does not mean no french? It did not have a caption, it just had a big no sign through a french flag. How would you take a big cross through an american flag? You can try to twist and distort all you want but you will never change the truth.

How are you trying to twisting my words to say there are none of the groups listed above?

I would not agree with any satire that just shows no jews or isrealies, but I would not have a problem with satire that was on an issue that had some facts and common sense behind it.

I never said nothing good comes out of the US, agian trying to twist my words, I said you do not have the culture and history France does.

I'm having a very hard time not blowing up now. So I'm gonna work hard not to cuss my little head off.

First of all Ice_Demon A French flag with a"no" sign around it is not some horrible representation of how evil the french are. It's just a joke. I can't believe how assinine this arguemnt is in the face of the constant barrage of anti-Americanism some of the users on this site perpetuate. Seriously, grow up or quit reading this forum as your not displaying the maturity to handle satire that doesn't pander to your own ideology. Stop being a baby.

You can try to twist and distort all you want but you will never change the truth.
What are these pots and black kettles you're speaking of?

BULLSHIT! (ok one slipped through) So far not one person has crossed ideological lines to argue for an opposing piece of satire, except for, of course myself. Either we're all MATURE enough to accept ALL of it or it ALL goes, you don't get to pick and choose what annoys you for arbitrary reasons. And then proclaim that too offensive to be viewed on the forum, or I get the same privldge concerning what you post.

I never said nothing good comes out of the US, agian trying to twist my words, I said you do not have the culture and history France does.
...and so according to your twisted logic since this statement offends me greatly you have no right to voice this opinion here... Stop being a petty, bigeted rascist please. You're hurting my feelings. :*(

BTW- Last time I checked CWAS was not a conservative, just an American. (I know that's a dirty word for you) Perhaps you should look a little deeper at someone when identifying them.

Yes, I consider them an ethnic group,
And here we have the crux of this bothersome and annoying tirade. YOU consider them an ethnic group. Well I consider America an ethnic group. A mix of all the rest out there who have dared cross one ocean or another. Therefore according to this whiny ass logic everyone is using, You can no longer post anything critical of my ethnic group or you're just a bully.

Yedddi, just shut this bee-atch down. These children cannot even comprehend their own biases and it gets old listening to them whine.

and one last attempt to shut up the whiners:

SATIRE IS A JOKE! The fact that you find it unfunny or offensive isn't an occasion to piss and moan. Post your own or don't read it.

The French suck at war
The Russians suck at revolutions
The English suck at not being snobbish
The Belgians suck at getting recognized
The Canadians suck at having a national identity
The Luxembourians suck at being found on a map.
The Italions suck at obeying the Law
The Turks suck at picking a side and staying with it.
The Balkans suck at friendship.
The Africans suck at AIDS prevention
The Iraqis suck at picking dictators
The Poles suck at picking their noses...(then again maybe not)
The Brazialians suck at staying awake in the mornings
The Mexicans suck at Working
The Icelanders suck at air conditioning
The Irish suck at staying sober...
The Germans suck at winning a war and sucking up to old enemies
The Chinese suck at being large people
The Japanese suck at bagpipes
The Austrailians suck at speaking like a normal human being
The New Zealanders suck at exporting female lead actrresses
The Vietnamese suck at naming leaders
The Koreans suck at having little Canadian kids worship them
The Thais suck at fighting without their feet.
The Israelis suck at having a historical homeland
The Palistinians suck at rock chucking
The Arabs suck at hats
The Indians suck at being fair dealers
Everyone else just sucks.

Except America cause we're a little bit of everybody! So kiss my @%!$ (ha ha you can't edit symbols Yeddi!)

I genuienly hope I offended everyone of EVERY nationality. If I forgot yours you must be too insignificant for my attention, therefore your pathetic little country is not necessary, go join a larger one. So you can be insulted properly!

:lol: CWAS's posts have made TRP/TAL's posts funny!

And I do like how the satirical forum has become one of the most argumentative...

Demo's list was funny. (Though the Belgians might get recognized but they barely recognize themselves that they slaughtered 13 million Congolese... Sorry, I had to throw that in)


NOW for some real satire!

I said "How are you trying to twisting my words to say there are none of the groups listed above? "

because CWAS said I denied the existance of many groups (arabs, persians, jews, africans, russians.), and I did not.


How is this satire?

[/quote]

sat·ire
n.
1. a)A literary work in which human vice or folly is attacked through irony,derision, or wit.
b)The branch of literature constituting such works.
2. Irony, sarcasm, or caustic wit used to attack or expose folly, vice, or stupidity.

I do not see how that picture matches any of those definitions.
