"Victory" is the only other underdog-prisoners-play-a-sport-against-hated-guards/fascists movie I've seen.

And look how I spelled "honour"!

I have always followed UK/Canadian quoting rules. Americans are fat and stupid.

Same thing happened in co-ed flag football. But the breakups made practice way more fun. "You're supposed to grab the flag - not knock me on my ass." Good times.

I hold in my hand a sealed copy of Newsradio: Seasons 1 and 2. They definitely rushed it out; there are some typos on the back. I'll tip one for Phil...

Have you ever known someone who repeatedly makes jokes about another person's physical disabilities (or race, or whatever) to you even though you find those jokes to be in poor taste? If so, what do you do about it? Do you repeatedly tell that person how tasteless the jokes are or do you just turn a deaf ear? At what point do you become complicit by allowing the jokes?

I had a boss who would tell racist and homophobic jokes at client lunches. What do you do in situations like that?

Just curious.

The jokes reflect on the teller, not on those unfortunate enough to be present when they are made.

If you are not in a position where you have the ability to correct the person (i.e., the person is not your child or subordinate), your failure to do so is not an affirmation and would not reasonably be interpreted as complicity by anyone else.

There is a look you can adopt that is clearly one of disapproval and discomfort. In most situations it's best if you only wear that look briefly enough so that you don't trigger a confrontation or attempted defense, but long enough so that the teller gets that it's not cool. But this would only work when you're in the same room, obviously.

Just keep doing what you are doing. Remember, if someone's self- esteem is so low they have to resort to such classless tactics to make themselves feel better about their lot in life, they are to be ignoreed and silently pitied.

My son has a friend who is constantly making vaguely anti-black racist statements. Once he leaves I try and point out to my son that the things the kid says are wrong, but my kid sees them as more innocent. kids are tough to raise. maybe I should call the kid on them......

PS the lying down Paigow was to distinguish from regular Paigow, and because I figured out how to do it. I couldn't do it on an angle though :mad:

When I lived in Dallas, a lot (!) of people would make homophobic remarks in my presence. It became evident after a while that at least some of the people my age were unaware that people might be offended, so I spoke up. Just kind of pointed out to them that I don't appreciate that kind of humor and that I have a lot of gay friends, etc. It actually was usually a productive thing to do and (I think) led some people to think further about what they were saying and why. Of course some people just assumed I was gay, which was okay too since that sort of thing doesn't bother me. I never had the conversation with the partner who was completely un-PC, because I knew it wouldn't make a difference. What with his "christian" ideals.

Speaking of which, 51 (mostly Indian) kids will start at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time tomorrow and none of you are to mention anything about the results. Our local (entirely Indian) kid remains in play. I only wish I could bet this on the Internet.
