Olympic/Paralympic Athlete Oscar Pistorius Charged With Murder

[Skillmister]

It's not a democracy here, you only just know that?

Of course i knew it already, it's just getting more and more controlling each time I'll stick to gifs and boobs in future.

SO, back on topic, what were the motives for murder? (Sorry, I haven't read the news.)

It happened this morning, he will be in court and they haven't released any facts, none of us know. Which is why a thread on discussing what happened and why is utterly pointless.

So you get jokes, people get upset, thread gets derailed, more people get upset, who funnily enough are the ones who are happy to derail other less serious GD threads

There is no back to OT because we know nothing other than she was shot and he's facing a murder charge and due to appear in court Friday. Discussion over, any speculation that he spacked out because she was late home, or sleeping with someone is surely in equal bad taste as the jokes because we know no facts at all really

So i take it from the deleted posts we have to be 100% serious on this forum now? And no one is allowed to post something that disagrees with mods opinions on a situation?

Just what i like to see on a public forum.

I happen to find jokes about horse meat very distasteful because i run 3 horse sanctuaries in sweden, can we ban everyone that makes horse jokes too?

Making jokes about murder is entirely different to some horsemeat crap. Get some morals ffs.

You do know that if you question a mod decision, no matter how ridiculous or incorrect, they will ban you on a whim for 24 hours? Please be careful.

I think we need to wait for the trial to begin speculation.

We all must be so depraved, disgusting members of society who do nothing but rape and pillage and murder all day long...

Oh no, wait, they are jokes.

I've written extensively before about making jokes about bad situations so I won't do it again but I will ask you why is it so immoral to make jokes about a murder that has nothing to do with you and won't affect you in the slightest?

I have zero morals and am i horrible person. Now what?

How tragic for the girl and her family.

If he was under the influence, would that alter a potential sentencing? Assuming he is found guilty of something.

If that's the case then why bother posting jokes in the thread if it has nothing to do with any of us? There's something wrong if you can laugh about someone losing their life whether it affects you or not.

High horse because I don't find joking about death funny. Okay then.

It was sort of tying in with the horse stuff, but okay.

No one is laughing at the fact someone lost their life. People are laughing at the jokes, which some find funny. I told some jokes at my Dads funeral. People laughed. I laughed. Does that mean I'm a monster? No. It means that humour often helps with bad situations.

Haha, get real.

Sorry I didn't actually see the pun

Did the jokes at your dads funeral involve the situation he came to his end in?

 

[Shayper]

I would, and I know people would laugh.

Why? Because (and I post this in every similar situation) it's better to light a candle than curse the darkness.

Newsflash : nobody is doing that.

People are making word-play related puns, get a grip.

They're not appropriate here. At some point I'm going to get bored deleting posts and will just start suspending.
