yes, but I've yet to see women understanding this kind of humor. I will be offended too , in most cases.

Are you a woman?

Besides, there ain't no women here.

And then, do Americans feel offended by "America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between."?

I think its funny. But on the other hand, I've heard that joke that many times that its removal from the quote database would not have the slightest affect on me.

Exactly, I agree with NYE ... there is no way that women should be offended by that ... all it basically says it that men are really bad at their jobs and that women can easily do them better. Not only is it a very old joke, but I've heard it used by several feminist comedians in the past ...

NOT WOMEN . I , as a man , find this joke to be offensive. And I am sure that a similar joke targetting women would offend them as well.

And if someone is offended by the "america" quote , he sure can demand to take it down. quotes by posters or famous people are ok with me.

Heh. What offends me the most is that sometimes, the quote that I'm supposed to think about is three paragraphs long, so basically what I'm thinking on such an occasion is I should sign up for a faster reading course.

I think it "offensive" that this site wants you to think about anything. Imagine how boring this place would be (especially the OT) if people did actually think between posts.

If standard feminist rants like that upset you, avoid Sweden. Not that I doubt you intended to do so anyway.

Yes, by all means avoid Sweden. It´s infested with evil feminists that rave about womens rights and don´t shave their armpits. Also they refuse to date eurowiggy here...

So ew, when are you emigrating to the states? The land where the women don´t talk back...

The pause button will only work if you're quick. Once the redirection code has cut in you can press it as long as you like and it'll make no difference. On IE you can tell when this happens because it goes 'click' (at least, I think that's the right time). On a fast connection you have to be pretty quick (I've only managed it twice...)

It only goes click if you still have the sound enabled. However, when your loading animation in the top-right starts animating, you're too late.
