Am I Immature?

Post Reply New Topic

I make sexual and racist jokes, but not because I am sexual or racist by nature. I don't even find them humorous. I don't even know why I say them.

Does anyone else have this urge to say whatever comes to mind, regardless of if you find it funny or not? I cannot control myself. Ahhhg.

*hits myself*

Do you have poor impulse control, or have tourettes syndrom?

I don't have tourettes, or atleast I think I don't. I just am pretty impulsive.

I am like that when i am around friends.

I used to be like that, when I was younger, but not so much, now.

Yes, you are immature. Telling racist jokes is the lowest form of humor. It's rubber stamp humor that people use because trashing a different race is an easy laugh, and easy laughs mean fitting in. Same goes for gender jokes. Trashing girls requires no intellect. Somewhere between blonde jokes and grape soda jokes lies the definition of the word craven.

My advice: try puns. No one likes puns, and it will make easy to find out who really likes you.

I love puns! My husband said I think they're so funny because they're the most advance form of humour I've ever gotten. Heh.

Eh, you're 15. Most people your age don't even have enough self-insight to worry if they're being immature. You should still be more careful though.

I don't think that you're immature. I think that you're typical of your age, and that's a good thing.

I disagree. Midgit jokes are the lowest form of humor.

This depends on the situation.

Are you black?

Are you telling racist jokes or racial jokes? There is a difference, though oversensitive people can be offended by either.

Dave Chapelle and Chris Rock are funny, I don't care what the PC police say. Black people can get away with being a bit racist if they present it right.

It takes a bit more skill to be racist and funny if you are not black, though.

Telling racist jokes can also be an easy route to shock, which might be why you do it because it is easy to get a reaction. For best results, white liberal hippie types are easy to shock though they think they are hard to shock because they are open to sexuality. Be sure you only this to people who you don't care what they think about you, it's a complicated line so it's best not to try at all unless you're sure you understand the ramifications.
