In a word yes. If it upsets people then take some responsibility for that. Oh and

wern,t me that told it 
: I can find humor in almost everything,some folk can,t, but would not tell somebody they can,t find something funny,if i don,t find it funny I don,t laugh 
I never for once suggested you had cracked the joke. I was answering your question about drawing a line. Whilst I realise that it is not my right to tell a person whether or not they should find something funny, I also realise that it is my right to tell someone if I find something offensive. A considerate person would take this on board, and an intelligent and considerate person would have considered this possibility before sharing such a joke in a public area.
Dave, a TV is another matter altogether. It is designed to reach out to a wide audiance, and has guidelines in place to accomodate people who may find some things offensive, like the Watershed and the off button. People know this in advance. The incident in the chatroom concerned a tragedy which is so raw, that the person who cracked the joke was well aware of how offensive it was, it doesn`t take a genius, but they continued to do so anyway. Lack of consideration. The people who then criticised those who exercised thier right to say they found it offensive also showed a lack of consideration.

Probably not the most appropriate place to admit you found it funny either at the mo Sarge :shock: :shock: :shock:
Hope you have your bunker ready!

I think whether you find it funny or not is a personal thing. It's a different matter to force the joke on a wide and unknown audience though.
I agree, but I can`t speak for everyone else here. This could actually turn out to be a very interesting thread if the discussion focuses upon whether people have the right find it funny, why they choose this approach, and are they evil......
I`ve always wanted to dig around in Sarge`s cranial sawdust :twisted:
But I have to go bath! I`ll see if the thread has descended into anarchy when I get out!

LB, people spouting lame jokes about a tragedy they are not equipped to deal thinking about, is very different to Hitler`s build up to the Holocaust. I don`t like shit jokes spouted in front of me, and neither do you, or many others. People who find they need to do this should take this on board.

Ok so where do we draw the line then?
Holocaust?
9/11?
Does time dim the memory?
Are gas chamber gags funny 60 years later?
ILb :love:
To some people yes, and therin lies the answer on where to draw the line. Keep the jokes to yourself, or those who don`t mind hearing it. Not in a chatroom.

Very true..... but in a perfect world the partner would realise that something is a miss to force the other half to do it on their own!!! but again valid point.
Do I? Do I?! Naaah, it`s far to early and he`s far too pretty for me to want to make mincemeat of that remark!
