[quote="Xenu']Stop having f***ing double standards! If we want to get rid of racism or homophobia than stop giving people of other minority races or of different sexual orientations special privelages. We are all human so why does one person get special treatment while the other doesn't? And don't give me the whole "well we enslaved their people" yeah I know we f***ing did. But that happened CENTURIES AGO, we should act f***ing civilized and accept that happened and treat humans of a different skin color like f***ing humans, not shower them with unncessasary praise because of something that their great great grandfathers weren't even around for.


Are people of other minority races or of different sexual orientations getting special privileges in America?[/quote]

Yup, they get first priorities over jobs and there are all kinds of scholarships and grants for minorities.

I still watch south park and family guy from time to time I still laugh at it all even if some of it offends me its just so rediculous its funny I dont take any of it seriously though. Like the episode Ass Burgers I thought it was going to be offensive but after watching it it almost had nothing to do with making fun of aspies at all so I was fine with it I make fun of myself once in a while anywho. As long as its not taken seriously no harm done if its too much and too offensive I just change the channel. I still prefer Beavis and Butthead though hehe.

Comparing South Park to Family Guy, Cartman had something to say about that.

"Do you have any idea what it's like? Everywhere I go, "Hey Cartman, you must like Family Guy, right?" "Hey, your sense of humor reminds me of Family Guy, Cartman." I am NOTHING like Family Guy! When I make jokes, they are inherent to a story! Deep, situational and emotional jokes based on what is relevant and has a POINT! Not just one interchangeable joke after another!"

Even if at times they might go a little too far I still love both of these shows. Good jokes, bad jokes, good episodes, bad episode, good characters, bad characters I still love these shows.

Everytime someone hears that I like the Simpsons they always ask if I watch Family Guy, and tell me how excellent it is. I can't watch it for more than 30 seconds. It's as if someone recorded a few loud annoying people shouting, then animated it. Unsubtle garbage. Conversely, South Park is unsubtle genius. :lol:


This.

I don't watch the newer episodes of The Simpsons, but in its prime, it reached a level of brilliance that remains unparalleled in animated comedy. As my avatar suggests, I am a huge fan of Matt Groening. South Park can also be pretty good, but I think that it resorts to scatological humor far too often.

Haven't watched The Simpsons in nearly a decade. It was my favorite show ever during its prime, back in the early 90s. South Park took its place for me for a while though lately I just watch it out of habit. If I don't like an episode I just go "Ehhh", which is most of the time anymore. I simply cannot tolerate Family Guy, I hate the way it looks, I hate the characters, jokes and its not funny at all to me. I tried watching an episode once when I couldn't sleep and I was at someone's house and it was like torture.
