I watch reruns on YouTube of the "Dean Marin Roast", "All in the Family", and "The Jeffersons" from the 70's. All races/religions/etc. used to make fun of each others stereotypes and we'd all laugh at each other and ourselves.
Now everyone has been brainwashed and are wound up so tight you can't even say a nice comment without offending someone.
It's sad....

I wasn't even born when those roasts were broadcast but I've watched them many times. Every time I've seen them I about die from laughing so hard.
America has lost it's sense of humor too. Half the crap I say on this forum I get the "WTF" kind of responses from people because they don't have a sense of humor.
There's a great line in the Cannonball Run movie, where Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr are pretending to be priests to get out of getting a ticket as they try to win the Cannonball Run, and Dino calls Sammy the Chocolate Monk...... I mean, today they'd have hung Martin out in effigy for that. Back then even Sammy himself was cool with it.
It's like, chill out people. Life's too short to live it with a stick up your back side all the time.
