Oh come on guys......it's just a joke! If everybody were to obey stereotype rules, then there wouldn't be any jokes left!
It's just a stereotype that people joke about.....you know...English people have bad teeth, Germans are all Nazis, Jewish people are cheap, all Arabs are terrorists, Americans are stupid, Canadians are the nicest and most polite people around, etc etc etc. I'm actually friends with a couple Israeli guys from school and we joke about it all the time...it's all in good fun and no real offence is meant by it. Just lighten up a bit....don't be so sensitive.

well its not as easy to take in as a joke on a forum where u cant put in tone and also people can misinterpret things easily...
I know things can be misinterpreted....that's why I put this thing right after my little joke, which usually means that I'm not being serious.

Putting a tongue icon after a racist comment and calling it a joke does not make it okay. The comment was inappropriate even as a joke. Those comments might be okay among good friends, but you don't say them to casual acquaintances or total strangers.
Permit me to demonstrate: Smitty, you're a fat ugly smelly moron who obviously has no life and no friends. Consider yourself lucky if you get murdered on the subway tomorrow. ()
You see my point. Now let's get back to the roll call and keep insults to a minimum.

Alright man......whatever. Sorry you take things so personally. I bet more than a few people who read my comment actually took it as a joke and chuckled a bit. Oh, and London doesn't have a subway by the way.

I'd like to know when it ends too.....anybody have the heads up on when Tiesto is spinning and for how long? I'll be right in there at 10 30ish to claim my spot at the front, which I won't be vacating. I have Suburban Train for him to sign, since I couldn't find a new copy of Gouryella soon enough.
