I would be willing to bet that you don't even know what half the words of that copy/paste you did mean.

I'll give you credit for the "Haha", that was something original from your behalf.

Perhaps the "OK -" too, although I'm not too sure.

£50 says he DOES know what at least half of those words mean.

Comedians do but that's their "job". You expect that when you go to see/hear them and you know before hand that they don't mean offense. In a public forum you can't tell that.

If I was to say an actor sucks you might take offense to it though... You can't worry about if everyone in the forum will take offense! (you as is you or anyone).

That joke was pretty much invented by Jesus.

See now if Jesus created it, then it can't be bad!

But that would be an opinion, wouldn't it?

I didn't say that anyone has to worry about what others will say, I'm just saying that you should expect negative comments as well as positive with any joke like that. Anything in the public domain is open to criticism right? Doesn't mean a poster has to worry about it.

Well civilisations tend to evolve over time and realise the mistakes of the past and make sure they don't repeat them. Some things are for the better and you can't expect to be going around clubbing women on the head and dragging them to your house anymore. The more multicultural societies become the more respect and understanding has to be instilled to be people so that everyone can get along.

As for the old movies, they are fine as they are as long as someone understands the context and the culture of the times. For example some of Mark Twain's books include racist words, that does not mean we should ban them but that we should understand the context they were written in.

Laughing at jokes that offend people has to do with personal taste and of course with understanding whether the person telling them is honestly telling them as a joke and they don't hold an offensive behaviour/mindset themselves that simply manifests through their jokes. That's why offensive jokes may be funny in-between your friends but not when you tell them to an unknown audience.

Ah; self-superiority mixed with a dash of pontification. A familiar odour.

Using the "evolution of civilisation" as justification for regulating what I should and should not find amusing is, in itself, amusing. My flawed and primitive brain finds alsorts of foul and disgusting things to be hilarious, and yes, on occasion that includes the misfortunate of others. Please, continue to feel superior to me (and everyone else), since you appear to have a lobotomised... I mean "more highly evolved" sense of humour. :p

i think its only funny if you are the sort of person who is sick of sob stories from charities trying to emotionally blackmail you into giving money

I think you've got it in one there, racist jokes, disabled jokes, sick jokes, there all funny to everyone, the only people that won't admit they are funny are people who are too stuck up to admit it.

You don't have to be a racist person etc to like a joke that is basically wrong, you didn't make it, you didn't say it, just laugh and get on with life!

Lifes way too damn short to not find as much as possible funny...hell if you feel bad about laughing go and give £2 to a chairty, i bet most of you saying the joke is racist or whatever don't even give money to charity regularly!!

:D

Exactly, it's an opinion!

It's most people's opinion that it's a joke and you can't get offended about it as much as you are. Saying "meh, kind of poor taste" is on thing. But you are going well over the top.

I didn't think the joke is funy personally, but what is funny is how much you are on a crusade against it. :p
 
Can we ask for a name change poll on kgi to NOFUN!

As people have already said:

1) This is GD
2) Comedy is comedy. If you take away the abuse, mick-taking, quirky observations from all walks of life...you end up with boring stories.

It's so nice of you to find disabled boys riding bikes (even imaginary, since if you had ever seen one in real life you wouldn't be making such immature posts) funny.

I can really see the humour in that.

I hope you are a teenager (as that would justify the immaturity), because if you are an adult it would be sad, really sad.

Any other jokes like that you can share with us? Please entertain us by making fun of other people's misery.
