PhiloMadrid Skype meeting: Wednesday 15th NOVEMBER at 8:00pm humour vs
insult

Dear friends,

Our topic for this coming Wednesday is: The difference between humour
and insult (short: humour vs insult)


The topic was proposed by Ines. I did not write an essay, but it is
connected with the topic racial comments which we discussed recently. I
would argue that our topic today is more complex by virtue that a lot of
humour is culture based.


Are racial comments freedom of speech?

friends. You can find the FaceBook link below.
