<< I have been questioning within myself whether not these jokes are
 appropriate. To me, they are along the same lines as racial jokes...they are
 based on stereotype and certain physical appearances.
 
 Maybe some of you aren't offended at all, but I take offense to these jokes
 on behalf of those who are blonde, and I'm in no way a blonde. I think the
 jokes are very degrading, and are not even funny.
 
 Does anyone else share my position, or am I making too much of it. >>

I too, Bro Harrell, was wondering the same thing. I am not blonde, either,
but I feel that if a blonde person saw what was going on here, that they
would feel offended.

Just think if we heard someone telling a joke that began, "Two Apostolic
Pentecostals walk into a..." or "How many Apostolic Pentecostals does it take
to screw in a light bulb?"

I am sure that all that was said was said in fun, but I believe that Bro. Ray
is correct that we should be more sensitive toward all others.
