Joke number 01: Iran is a threat for world peace.

Last friday, Billy the kid (Bush) has declared, talking about Iranian nuclear project: "the world is united and concerned" Great! America cares about peace.

Of course, the USA aren't a threat for world peace (joke).

[sarcasm

] Rimski, you should do standup comedy!

Joke Number 2:

She was in the kitchen preparing to boil eggs for breakfast.
He walked in; She turned and said,
You’ve got to make love to me this very moment.’
His eyes lit up and he thought,

‘This is my lucky day.’
Not wanting to lose the moment, he embraced her
And then gave it his all;
Right there on the kitchen table.
Afterwards she said,

‘Thanks,’
And returned to the stove.
More than a little puzzled, he asked,

‘What was that all about?’
She explained,
‘The egg timer’s broken.’

Joke number 3: American pop stars wants to help the poors in... Africa.

BLANTYRE, Malawi - Madonna plans to adopt a child in Malawi, government officials said Wednesday, as the pop star arrived in the southern African nation on a mission to help AIDS orphans.

So, in America, there are no AIDS orphans and no poors to help. That's why american pop stars have to travel abroad to help the poors (joke).

Joke number 4

The Pope Benedict XVI cares of human rights Very Happy

(Joke )

Quote: The Holy Father spoke of the critical importance of protecting human rights, noting the sixtieth anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Promoting human rights is the most effective strategy for reducing inequality and increasing security. Human rights are not simply a matter of law, but of justice, based in the natural law written on the human heart.

"Justice based in the natural law written on the human heart". The same justice written in the hearts of popes that have ordered the extermination of heretics and so-called witches, by burning them!

Joke number 5

The US care of human rights (joke) in... China

With all eyes on Beijing, President Bush bluntly told China that America is strongly opposed to the way the communist government represses its people, a rebuke delivered from the heart of Asia on the cusp of the Olympic Games.

Of course, everything is okay in the United States. No problem of human righs there. The US government treat kindly its people. especially if they are black, hispanic etc... I'm sure Rodney King (an american citizen) would agree with me.

There are no problems of human rights in United Stated, that's why the american government cares of human rights in... China! Laughing

Seen on a forum today regarding the Russia/ Georgia fighting:

"I don't think Georgia will have a problem unless Russia has a General named Sherman."

Or something to that effect.

Joke number 6:

Adam Smith (1723-1790), a scottish philosopher and social theorist, the author of the book "An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations" (1776), believes that "... every individual necessarily labours to render the annual revenue of the society (no kidding!) as great as he can. He generally, indeed, neither intends to promote the public interest (no kidding!), ... By preferring the support of domestic to that of foreign industry, he intends only his own security; by directing that industry... and he is in this, as in many other cases, led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was no part of his intention... I have never known much good done by those who affected to trade for the public good (no kidding!)".

A capitalist talking about public good. Very optimistic, doesn't it?

joke source: http://plus.maths.org/issue14/features/smith/

"invisible hand" refers to the idea that when individuals pursue their own self-interest for gain in business their actions are led by an unseen force (invisible hand) to promote the general good of society. That's what believe Smith and his followers.

So, as they say, there is an unseen (and of course, benevolent!) force that rules the economy.

The same "invisible hand" has been used by Great Britain (in the OPIUM WARS) to force China to buy british drug. There were two wars, one in 1839 and one in 1856. The conclusion of these wars was the complete legazation of opium in China with the bad consequence that we all know: the destruction of the chinese society.

Rimski.
I am very pro-Russian at the moment. I admire and enjoy working in your country. But you're joke comparing the hopes of current Pope to past mistakes is similar to making equal Yeltsin or Putin with Ivan the terrible or Nicholas I. During more primitive times, life was brutal everywhere. Still had I lived in 1400, I would have rather been an Italian peasant than a Russian one. Or 1914, 1941, 1961, even 1987 for that matter.

The topic is called : "jokes from the west".

I am from the west and it was my participation to the topic (jokes from the west... do you follow me ?!?).
I just tried to go down to your level... but anyway it seems you didn't find it funny... Rolling Eyes

Rimski,

You must understand you are among a group of people who like and admire Russia. Who travel there frequently, know and admire your country's achievments. You are very extreme in your comments and those who reply, are only trying to help you deal with your questions.
