    Real slashdotters read at -1 anyway, so mod me down all you want.

    Verteiron actually gets it, without being all "offended" and reactionary like you are being.

    And if you said what you said about most other countries, you'd probably get modded flamebait. Double standards are lame.

    I honestly don't know if I find the joke funny or offensive, but I do think that the same standard should be applied to all jokes in that vein. Then again, double standards for what people say are a problem of society in general, not just slashdot moderation.
