C'mon guys this forum is meant for basketball - now to address the op, Dwight and Drummond would not work together let alone adding Smoove into the mix, probably not feasible

I found it amusing... nothing wrong with making jokes. Or are we not allowed to make jokes about "someone's sexuality"?

Can we make jokes about blondes? Or women? Or Jewish? Or Polish? Or Italians? Or anyone else?

Blondes, women, Jews, Poles, and Italians can all get married sooooo

[Bojorquez]

Yes, gays are bashed and trashed simply for being how they are... but making jokes that state Jews are tight with money or have big noses is the same thing IMO

Blonde jokes usually are about how "dumb" the blonde is - so the jokes about them generally paint all blondes with the same brush. How is that "better" than making light of the fact someone is gay? Or in this case using several players names to make a joke?

Jokes are made at other people's expense all the time. Arguing that one way is less offensive than the other is splitting hairs.

IMO: if YOU are offended by gay jokes - or any joke ever told then YOU should be ashamed of yourself!

IF you want to be offended get offended over:

Why governments (state/federal) won't allow gays to be legally married. Why do they want to legally marry? So when their partner dies or is seriously impaired they have the legal rights of a hetro partner! THAT IS WHY!

In the eyes of the law if 2 guys are gay and have been together for 20 years and one dies his partner isn't legally entitled to anything! The family of the guy that died can take it to court - and win the estate! Same for lesbians!

Don't you guys have wives or girlfriends that watch Ellen?

Something else to be offended about (and a personal favourite of mine) is: why people starve to death! Or why a select few members of the world's population have billions of dollars while people are starving to death!

Do we not have enough food on the planet to feed these people? Why is it impossible to provide food for people in the "third" world? I don't understand how Red Bull - RED BULL! - can put a man into the outer atmosphere but companies or governments can't get food to starving people!

Virgin airlines are booking flights to outer space yet they can't send some food to Africa? WTF?

How are our priorities so skewed! Forget gay jokes or blonde jokes or any joke... if that is enough to make you offended then surely you are outraged about people starving to death.... or do you not think of it?

Jokes are funny and it's not bad but sometimes a bad joke can seriously harm or can create pressure on someone. So we've to avoid some points those can make for problem us.

Please explain?

In 1983 a drought caused the crops to fail and 2 mil people were looking at starvation.

The whole world intervened and provided food for them. The bringing in of foreign aid caused the population to sky rocket and now the people of that region can never produce enough food to feed the people. They are forever dependent on foreign aid to survive.

When you subsidize something you get more of it and you unbalance the natural order.

The UN decades earlier began vaccinations in africa and it led to population booms and then starvations.

Supply and demand cause and effect.

The Starvation of people in africa is a man made problem by evil/stupid people with good intentions.

All true, I admit... but what do we do now? Do we let them starve to death? Is that the way to go?

IF we choose to let them starve to death (and it is a choice) then what does that say about us as human beings?

[Warspite]

All solutions are ugly and fraught with more unintended consequences. I just wanted to point out that the problem is man made and that "caring" is what caused the problem.


Just rushing food or polio vaccine into an overpopulated area is going to cause more and more problems.


In many way Africa has been the lab rat that has been experimented on. It has been exploited and unbalanced and never allowed to developed along a natural time line.
