i hate everyone equally

I am all for jokes, hell I'm sure most on here know I think there should be no boundaries when it comes to comedy, but it has to be consistent. There may be some who'd make a joke no matter who the person (myself included), I'm not trying to determine who would and who wouldn't, just pointing out that for the most part there would not be as many people making light of this had the victim been female.

You weren't the first to make a joke in the thread and I'd have quoted you if so, it was more of a general thing. I just think it's interesting how attitudes to making jokes about serious issues fluctuate depending on the subject matter and the subjects themselves

Like I said, I'm all for comedy, but it has be fair, equal and consistent. Some things or people seem to be off limits at times and I don't agree with that

I totally and completely agree. So many people these days pick and choose what is offensive and what isn't. It's wrong. Either have a sense of humour or don't.

Offence is taken, not given as the saying goes

As long as a comment is clearly a joke I don't think there's any boundaries when it comes to comedy. It should just be balanced, that's all

Exactly. I agree. I just hate when people pick and chose things, depending on what a person is. it's not right. It does more damage for equality than good.
