As far as I know, sex jokes never initiated a war or an economic crisis.
I think this is a fashet 5ili2 in these dark days. |
Having a pre-existing sectarian, racist, and discriminative speech should not justify introducing another wrong one!
I am not against sex jokes. On the contrary, I greatly enjoyed them and and they were quite funny. But enjoying them at the personal level does not give me the freedom to approve that they be broadcasted on national television and in the presence of a very young audience.
Sex jokes may not incite a civil or economic crisis as you said, but they sure do provoke a debate over moral values and the limits on freedom of speech in a society that still prides itself with family values and principles.
Bottomline, it is not what you say, it is the setting and context in which you say them
