Because obviously my choice to make offcolor jokes about sensitive subjects offends you. I mean, I know it's entertaining to watch me go at it with somebody, but if you don't like my jokes I'm sorry 'bout ya. I would never do the things I joke about nor let somebody else in my presence, but a joke is just that.
I'm just saying that I think that jokes make people begin to believe that things are socially acceptable. If everyone laughs about beating women or raping them or any other social ill, then pretty soon people start thinking that these things aren't so bad if people are joking about them. I was just expressing my opinion that I didn't think your joke was funny. Is that not allowed? And just because I am offended by something, it doesn't mean that I will stick my head in the sand and ignore it. I think that is a very counterproductive way to face life.
Let somebody hit a female in my company and they'll find out firsthand how not funny it is. I don't believe that offcolor jokes make people think things are acceptable. Little kids excluded. I can understand not telling somebody, "Bitch, don't make me beat you" in front of an 8 year old, but if me making a joke about hitting women makes a 20-30 year old man think it's funny to hit his wife, he's out of whack anyway. I was just expressing that I'd rather you not address me if I didn't address you, was that not allowed? You said I wasn't funny, not the joke btw. I really don't have a problem with you at all, and I really don't want to. I find you to be one of the nicer, more genuine members. Also, one of the few that I can remember from when I started posting here. If you dislike something I say, there are better ways to approach it is all I'm saying.
Well, it's kind of a touchy subject with me and it's hard to even hear anything against women without getting angry. I didn't realize that in order to address you, you had to be specifically talking to me. I thought this was a forum where we all react to each other and things like that. But if you don't want me to address you I guess that is that. I'm speaking my mind, you are speaking your mind, let's leave it at that, eh?
Now you're being over dramatic. Yes I was being dick, but like I said, there are better ways to approach me if you disagree with what I say. What you do is up to you.
So? I like being dramatic! Anyway, I get what you are saying I am just trying to have you get what I am saying.
I understand where you are coming from on the issue, though I don't completely agree. In "real life" I check my audience. Around here you never know who is going to read something. LIke I said though, I'm just as against hitting women as anybody. I'm also against racism and sexism. I still make the jokes though, but I do understand why certain people don't find them funny.
I know, after all we have both been around a while and you have been making the jokes for awhile and I have been getting offended by them for a while... blah blah blah. I still don't think it's funny, but no hard feelings. And just in case anyone is suspicious, I am NOT pmsing right now!
yeah.... we've both been around waaay too long. If it's any consolation though, you're one of the few people I do feel bad about offending.
Really? My natural equilibrium has been restored by eating lots of cookies that I just baked and all is good in my world.
Thanks Yeah, my life has been more sad for the last couple of years because of my inability to eat ice cream. And I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't feel this way since I'm a vegetarian and all, but Rice Dream is not very good and it is no subsitute for ice cream!
Hmmmm... a mysterious somebody.... I swear, I must be only funny in writing because nothing I say ever goes over in real life.
I thought mine ended a few days ago and I'm like aweeee rock on only one day must be the birth control and then today I wear a white skirt ): lucky I had a long jacket with me.
