I see both LB`s and Ice`s point. It is quite possible to make a `racist/blonde/mentalhealth/sexist` joke without having any inclination of being prejudiced at all, for exactly the reasons Ice states. However, there will always be some bugger who will pick up on this and use it as an excuse to be prejudiced, and use the joke out of context. The question is, who takes responsibilty for this? Should it be the person who cracks the joke knowing it can be the used out of context, or the person who uses it out of context?

I see a scenario coming up when we have "You're it, I'm it, you're it, I'm it, you're it, I'm it, you're it, I'm it, you're it, I'm it, you're it, I'm it, you're it, I'm it, you're it. Ahhhh, I've finished, can we play a different game? One that involves tissues?"
Chris
Was that good for you?! I quite enjoyed it! :twisted:

If you want to sleep down the bottom of my garden I'll provide a tent, airbed, sheets, a duvet and a heater if you'd like!
Chris
:hopeful:
Now you`ve done it! Check your PMs, you can run, but you can`t hide! :twisted:
Venusxxx
Not in my garden, there's not enough room for hide and seek, but kiss chase is a completely different proposition.
Chris
Kiss chase? *sniffs* You are not a REAL swinger are you?!

People, Coolpants tried a fairly different approach to the usual one-liner, much appreciated 
.
If his siggy suggests different, I kind of got the impression he`d take that on board with any other tips he`s been asking for.
Me, I`m a hopeless pisstaker, noone is immune, most just join in with the banter....which is what I thought was happening here. It`s the ones after NSA sex who normally flounce.
Note to self ; read between the lines and drink more coffee before posting :shock:

Ah, obsession, well yes, er, perhaps I should explain myself. It`s not my fault that many people here are getting about 735432 PMs from me a day :shock: . I`m bored.....I so need to be working!
There is every possibility that if I`m not working soon, I will take to rummaging through people`s dustbins and sleeping down the bottom of thier gardens.

Oh fuck it i m going back to bed and to wake h/b up. see if he will talk to me (Where is VEnus when i need her?)I would like you lot to know your responsible for an old mans sleep being disturbed!!!
HERE! Here I`m am........getting the snotties from Mars because I just woke him up too :shock:
Awww bugger it!
Venusxxx
I`ve been reading this thread on and off,(so apologies if I missed a point) and what has surprised me is the amount of emphasis on defining what a `swinger` is (and all the sidelines that entails).....like it`s important 
.
What is important to me is my freedom to explore my sexuality, my way, at my pace, and if by some chance someone decides that my approach to this dictates that I am not a swinger and neither is Mars (doing the same as me), then I reallydon`t have a problem with this. The label is secondary to what we are trying to achieve.
If it`s the label which attracts the person first, and we don`t fall into thier criteria, we just won`t fuck them.
Simple really.
I`m having a ball regardless :mrgreen:
Isn`t that how it should be?

Quote by Dave__Notts
Callous? No..........just my way of coping. Life throws enough problems on us as individuals.............for me to try and take on others problems. I offer my heartfelt sympathy to the victims, as I do to other victims of other disasters........but I will get on with my life and very soon this will be another piece of history, just like all other pieces of history.
Dave_Notts
I don`t think that`s callous either Dave, realistic and self-aware, but not callous.
I was in bits, and had to stop watching the news, yet I`m pretty sure there have been news items of individual tragedy I have barely offered more than a token glance at. Possibly because I hear of individual tragedy all the time, we all do, and I`ve become somewhat desensitised to it. It now takes either something on a massive scale, or something closer to home to effect me profoundly.
If death is offensive to you then all death is offensive.....or not? Numbers are irrelevent. One or a million is still a tragedy
I think I just answered that question! Thankyou Dave

Quote by Dave__Notts
I was not defending the place where they said the joke..........but humour in general.
If you experience a terrible situation then it will be raw and raw can be for the rest of your life. What time frame will make it less raw? People use humour to get through things that are unpleasant......this is their defence mechanism. I use sick humour to block out reality.........it is just a way of getting through life and not getting depressed on every unfortunate incident. If I didn't I would have joined the funny farm by now. I have witnessed scenes of genocide and its aftermath.......like some others on here. To get through I have to either make sense of it or laugh it off. Laughing helps block out the hurt.
Laughing is the best medicine sometimes.

Sorry Dave, I missed this, and yes, you said it so much better than I.

Wtf! I think I better log off before I get myself banned.
"youve been framed"/250,000 at least, killed in a matter of hours?

However, you find the Darwin Awards funny and add to the thread. Pot, kettle and black springs to mind but I can't figure out why
If death is offensive to you then all death is offensive.....or not? Numbers are irrelevent. One or a million is still a tragedy
Dave_Notts
I agree Dave, it should be, but isn`t. Human nature I suppose. Add stupidity to the pot (as in the Darwin awards), it suddenly becomes much easier to bear, even laugh at, which may give us a clue why these jokes come about.
Let me ask you a question. How many News items have you read and seen on TV which concern death have hit you as deeply as the Tsunami disaster? I bet many people here could ask themselves the same question, and agree that it`s very few, if any. Why? Perhaps it`s human nature to care more about the scale than the individual?
