there was a youtube video recently of a pretty mature and reasonable discussion/debate about rape type jokes. it was some famous comedian and some feminist i think. maybe this mentioning will remind someone of it.
i have no problem with any jokes or what people think about me or others when they are used. actually i kinda have a problem with some of the 'make me a sanwich/get in the kitchen' type jokes but it isn't about the content bein offensive its because i jsut dont think its funny or original. same with dead baby jokes, just not funny. but i have no problem with jokes that offend people or cross arbitrary lines of sensitivity. i contemplated sayin this cause i dont wanna derail the thread and start ww3 with certain ppl but since it pertains, i DO truly honestly believe that some ppl who get up in arms about some jokes are expressing fake and/or exagerated outrage and its not genuine
that comes from my general outlook on life which is the world is too concerned with politically correct and pussified lol. there are probably jokes that pertain to events in my life that another person with my past would be offended by but i just dont care. if someone cant take a joke im never gonna lose sleep over it. i also dont really care or put a whole lotta stock in 'humor helps us heal.' i mean i guess it is true to an extent but i think we should just be able to laugh at jokes and not take them so seriously
