I think many jokes are slanted and insulting.....and not just to politcal figures either. My daughter who is as blonde as you can get ( no I did not mean that in a detrimental way) lived her teen years through the maze of jokes that made fun of mental aptitude, morals etc.....There are Newfie jokes, polictical jokes, religious jokes,jokes about fat people, bald people. The list goes on forever. Everyone has their own distinct sense of what is humorous. Some jokes are tasteless, tactless and plain insulting to me, but perpetuate howls of laughter from others. So be it! I avoid them if I can and if I read them and don't like them, I just shake my head and move on....maybe the solution is to post jokes in the jokes thread. That way you enter at your own risk and only have yourself to blame if you read them.....
