You see, you do have a sense of humour. Fantastic, sit down, have a beer, we are watching an instructional video on how to crush a beer can with your forehead, while driving.

ROTFLMAO.
Now that you've touched a nerve and thrown in a comedic response, you are going to be accused of acting like the OP.

I don't agree with you totally. I belong to "the mindless sycophantic masses" but I only laugh at the way John presents his opinions and jokes.
I laugh at his jokes about India and China, but for you to tell me that I am a racist because of that is not fair. My ex-girlfriend was from China and I love that country and the people alot. The same with India. It is the stereotypes that are funny nothing more.
Normally I would not express my opinion about US or about the american people on a web site like this. But with John around I can express my stereotypic opinions about the US and it is a relief. The same with jokes. Now we can tell whatever joke we want.

Firstly, I didn't tell you that you were a racist - you jumped to that conclusion yourself.
It seems that people are really grabbing hold of the wrong end of the stick here, so let me clarify what I am talking about.
I am talking about simple manners, civility, decency whatever you want to call it. If a child were to make similar comments, you would be appalled at the awful parenting. You would think the child an obnoxious brat who deserves some good firm discipline.
However, when John makes similar comments, they suddenly become funny or appear to elevate him to some higher status within the group. "Oh that's just John, he's allowed to be rude because he's been here for so long and he's so clever".
There's no substitute for good manners - any fool can be rude.
There are 10 kinds of people - those that get binary and those that don't.

It's a lot more fun to step on your dick every once in a while than it is to forget you have one.

But it takes real talent to get people to puff up their chest and proclaim to the world how much more civilized and tolerant they are then the belcher.
I fart at thee as well.

True, but stepping on your own dick is amusing for everyone else and painful for you. What you are prone to however, is metaphorically kicking other people in the nuts and finding it funny.

 Good catch Miszou, or whatever you say in english!
And don't get me wrong, I agree with you. But even after all your arguments I find him funny. And even at times when I don't find him funny I like the way he makes CP more alive, and makes people talk to each other.

There's a difference between insulting races and continents. Personally, I don't find it funny when John insults landmasses. They're just there, not bothering a soul, and here comes John, talking about how Antartica is cold and the penguins have frostbite. They're just pengiuns for god's sake John! Have a heart!

Yeah, it bothers me (believe it or not), but I'm not gonna back down simply because something is distasteful or because my opinion/statement is not popular.
For example, I didn't like telling my brother that, at the age of 34, his life amounted to practically nothing. He was a deadbeat that couldn't seem to hold a job and was always sponging off friends and family in order to sustain his existance, and that I for one was embarassed and angry that he had not yet straightened himself out.
And exactly where is "the line" that everyone likes to talk about? My sister was married to a Jewish guy (a programmer at Nasa) who's favorite passtime was to listen to and tell jokes about the Jewish religion. He wrote a letter to Nascar asking them to allow him to license the "Official Nascar Dradel". I called him up one thanksgiving and aksed if the Jewish celebrated the holiday, and he said "as long as the turkey and cranberry sauce were kosher, then god has no room to bitch".
I think I know where the line is, and while reluctant, I will cross it when I feel the need. (I'm almost positive you're talking about Andy here.)
