Nasty comedians


The term nasty comedians is made up of various types of humour that people feel is a sensitive issue to joke about. This humour includes ethnic jokes, racist jokes, character jokes. I personally feel that to an extent that most of the jokes are ok, they create laughter. It is down to the person who is listening to the joke to understand it.

Alot of people when they hear these jokes they can't help but to laugh at them as they are a very sensitive issue, and are very trutheful. The humour that is created out of these kind of jokes is quite high.

Battle for the silver wear


The battle has been long and hard and most likely it will be man utd who have won the race to lift the winners trophy for the premiership. With only 3 points seperating them and chelsea, utd still have a massive goal advantage over their london rivals with only just a few games left. It also looks good in the champions league with the semis to play, and after reaching the fa cup final it looks very likely that 1999 celebrations can be repeated.



Personally i think and want utd to win the leage at least as it would be a great thing for football, after the millions that chelsea have invested into their team these last few years compared to utd, it just shows that money and the best players in the world will not buy you everything, but i have to say jose is doing a great job by building a good chelsea team, all the pressure could of easily have done him but he has stuck in their and proved to his critics he is no quitter.

Religion


I am a Sikh and Sikhism is a really great, loving, understanding, spiritual and deep religion. Sikhism looks at all human beings as equal, man and woman are also seen as equal. I am a fully baptised Sikh and wear the Turban and wear the 5 K's which are known as the Kesh (Uncut hair) is seen as saintleness, Kanga (Comb) to keep the hair clean and tidy, Karra (Iron/steel bangle) a reminder to restrain from committing evil deeds, Kashera (Under shorts) reminds the sikh to restrain over passions and desires, Kirpan (sword) for self defence of the Sikh and everyone else. These are never to be seperated from the body.


Sikhs are to wake in the early hours around 3-4 am and recite nitnem (5 Prayers) which are known as the JapJI (Knowledge of God), Jaap Sahib (Salutations to the names of God), Twaprasad swaiyee (A humble request prayer), Chaupae (Prayer for the lords protection), Anand Sahib (prayer of bliss). Sikhs are to mediate by remembering God with every breath, also to earn a honest living, to help the needy, to protect the poor. A sikhs ultimate goal is to reach Sachkand ( the abode of God) .By praying and reading bani a Sikh is to control all its desires, to be calm and careing.


The reason why Sikhs carry swords with them is due to the fact of self defence, as a last resort the sword can be used not only to protect the Sikh, but protect those who cannot protect themselves. Sikhs believe in the 10 Gurus and the light of the 10 Gurus which is the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, the Guru Granth Sahib Ji is the text which was sent to the Gurus directly by God, it contains great knowledge. There are various other texts that Sikhs also believe in such as, Sri Dasam Granth, Sri Sarbloh Granth, various Rehitname, Janamsakhis, Various Sau Sakhis, History Granths such as Sooraj Prakash Granth, Pracheen Panth prakash etc.


For me and alot of other people Religion is very important, but people interpret their own religion in different ways, for example i have my own views and ideas of what i think Sikhism is and how it should be followed, but another Sikh will have different views to me, it is the same for other religions.
