The Bible Basher Page 4

For hunreds of years the four nations of Britain have been exchanging jolly jests with each other. The Micks,Sweaty Socks, Sheep shaggers and the English( God bless our Kraut Queen,) without any real harm done
The jibes only serving to make us prouder to be members of our own'tribe' The PC 'trade' grew when people ralised there was dough in it. If stand-up comics steer clear of these subjects through expediency, fair enough, but don't claim freedom of speech, don't condemn the likes of Bernard Manning, if you haven't got the guts to speak freely.Whether you like his material or not, isn't the point, He at least had bollocks.You may not realise it but all young people today are being brainwashed into an Orwellian stupor. It's no good cracking un PC jokes in the hall at the back of the church , It got to be mainstream. It is not fighting for the right to hurt, just fighting for the right. Fix bayonets men. I've nothing against the Qu'ranees.

Would anybody check out my latest attempt at setting out a script,at Help Write a Sitcom on Site.

I don't have much of a problem with anything you post Jerf and I don't condemn Bernard Manning in particular either as in the old days on 'The Comedians' he made me laugh, but 'speaking freely' isn't just about 'guts'.

I may think a joke is funny but not tell it NOT because of any lack of guts, but because I generally don't want to offend folk without good reason. Common courtesy? Live and let live? etc.

But if I have a good reason to be offensive, or if I decide to be offensive to make a point I think worthwhile, then believe me I have the guts!

Yes, it was much easier to read and much better on the eye, Jerf. Only a few minor points.

To be more correct, name tags never change: for example, 'Sammy the Juggler' never becomes just 'Sammy' later in the same script. He's referred to by the same name throughout.

Plus keep all action seperate from name tags.

Sammy, climbs into car
Windy today?

should be:

SAMMY GETS IN THE CAR

SAMMY:
Windy today?

SAMMY WINDS UP THE WINDOW.

SAMMY:
I said it's windy today.

The action is always CAPS, always on a seperate line, isolated from names and dialogue. If action seperates dialogue made by the same character then the new dialogue is preceded by the name tag.

SlagA Thank you.

I don't think you understand the concept of freedom of speech. Freedom is where you have a choice. Not being forced to act like a sexist, racist, xenophobic, white man, who incidently never did any jokes about white people.

And, third time asking, we still haven't heard any 'free speech' jokes from you Jerf. Surely you practise what you preach?

ajp29 You are a prime example of the 'Orwellian Syndrome' I don't believe it is racist,xenohpobic,(same thing) to tell a joke about a person of different race, colour or religion. I am male ,white christian, you can tell as many jokes about me as you like, if they are good, I'll laugh with you,
Free speech joke, I refer to your type as, Hair Shirt Honky's.

And you're a prime example of someone who says that you have to do something or you're a charlatan, then doesn't actually do the thing you say that one has to do.

And to the 'its OK to tell a joke about me i'm white, christian, male.' Fine, make jokes about yourself but don't have the short sightedness to believe you can apply your liberal standards to others. In fact you are saying, in effect, that not only can you tell jokes about other races/religions but you can also tell them how they should react to them.

Racist Joke. 12 noon, and you on the PC, not much law studying going on, I'll bet the bank of mummy and daddy will be pleased with their little soldier.
The nearest you'll get to the law, is when sentenced by a judge for confirmed batchelorship in a public toilet.You'll like this one.
Cat man,,"I love you". Cat Woman " How Much" Cat Man "I'd die for you" Cat Woman "How many times"

I have to hand it to you, you're intellectualism has out debated me yet again. If only we could harness the power of your wit we could solve all of man's problems, well all of white, christian man's problems anyway.

No problem with the white christian bit, it's the old man's problem of being unable to get the 'popcorn' on request. There you are, a fresh magazine of ammo. 'Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition. Jesus, Sermon on the Mount.

I was hoping your reply would be. That's not a Racist Joke. I could then have reposted, oh yes it is, because you are from another planet.
You'll laugh about this on those long summer days when you are staring through the cell bars.
Man walks into a bar, ooch, it was the bars of a cell, doesn't work does it? I'll go and polish it, cheeky, and craft it, I'll get back ..love you

Boring.

Matthew I was making a reasonable argument for freedom of speech.ajp29 asked me to tell a racist joke, which I have done, none of which to be taken seriously, you are welcome to join in.

No thanks.
