fang37 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 It is not just here. The world is insecure. Lighten up & you only live once - the old cliches are now in the WPB. No one said it is easy but if you don't, it is a fast lane to DEATH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon43 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I think the funniest thread that I ever read was the one some years ago about the western guy who claimed the same seat in a Bangkok cafe every day, and various posters made it their aim to sit in said seat before the guy arrived.

Pdaz Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 The advent of Political correctness has distroyed humour.. It's as simple as that.. Irony, sarcasm, caricature, imitation, satire, parody etc etc.. Are now all seen as racist, sexist, homophobic, anti-religious or even deviant.. So everyone is now terified to make a glib comment in case they are vilified or worse prosecuted... Everyone now pretends to take offence and freigns outrage to be part of the gang. The days of witty banter are over.. Even in an all male workplace the thought police are out to get you.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeijoshinCool Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 A handful of posters on TV are rabid, self-appointed defenders of the realm and have driven many away. Like any fanatic, it's submit to their beliefs and viewpoints, or be attacked. Every dog has its day. TV, sadly, has fleas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elgordo38 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) Humour left this forum around March 2007 - you are way too late. I do try to insert a little bit of dry humour, wit, sarcasm etc into my posts, but many posters think I'm being serious and lay into me. Back to the drawing board for me to. Put on my Dunce cap and go sit in the corner and think. At my advanced age I better not sit to long I might become a permanent fixture. Did you ever hear the joke about the turtle crossing the road?. He just wanted to get to the other side. He felt crushed when a car ran over him. Boo Boo Boo. Yeah I know don't give up your day job. Come on the rest of you old farts make this guy eat his words.

NoshowJones Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I do not really agree with the OP, I think there is some humour on this forum, if it was mostly just humour, I would get bored, I love to read about what the members say whether it is positive or negative, and despite what some posters say, there are a lot of positives, but as in any forum, it is the negatives which attract most attention, and leads to more negatives. Yes, there are more negatives than positives, and an amount of humour, the forum is doing fine. that is the main reason there are so many posters with high post counts.
