I've been asked to do something about this thread, presumably because of the borderline racism included in jokes like this

and in the 'joke' that was deleted. Personally, I didn't laugh at any of the 'jokes'. Not even sure if they qualify as humour. I'm not sure if the implicit racism crosses the line, or stops just short of the line. Maybe, maybe not, but I can let it slide.

What is most damning in my opinion, is the basic premise of the thread, as revealed in the title. "Jokes that piss them off". I'm not even sure who "them" is. Presumably "them" is a group of people. Presumably some of "them" are members of this site. The title of the thread, therefore, reveals an intent to knowingly and deliberately "piss them off." In other words, to cause anger and a loss of emotional equilibrium in someone, which is pretty much the defining characteristic of an internet troll.

We are a community. Yes, we have different opinions. Yes, we like to argue about those opinions. Yes, sometimes tempers get hot and we say nasty things to each other. But even at the nastiest, our core motivation needs to be to increase each other's mutual appreciation of our viewpoint and not "to piss them off."

I'll refer you to the central principle of our existence as a community:Subject: Community Guidelines

Thread is LOCKED. The OP is taking a little break to ponder the ethics of causing emotional upset in others.
