Didn't think paedophiles were a thing to joke about.
Is there anything we shouldn't joke about?
Is there anything so awful or socilly unacceptable there is no humour in it?
Or is everything fair game?

I think it probably is. Its called Black Humour and its how some people cope with the horrible things in life.

Well....
2 blokes were chatting in the pub when one asked the other about his new car.
'It's great' he replied 'it's fast, comfortable, amazing mpg and looks awesome'
'So you've not found anything you don't like on it yet then?' enquires his mate
'The only problem i've had so far is the voice controlled stereo system' he replied. 'when you say "rock" it plays AC/DC or Metallica, when you say "80's" it plays Duran Duran or ABC'
'Wow, that's amazing' repled his friend, 'but what's the problem?'
'Well i was driving down the road yesterday and some boys were playing football in the street, the ball rebounded and bounced into my car, i hit the brakes and shouted "fucking kids" and the stereo started playing Gary Glitter and i can't get it to stop'

I guess its a case of pleasing most of the people most of the time and not all of the people all of the time. Some people need the visual stimulus i guess of seeing someone joke about misfortune, or the darker side of things and fail to see it in the written form thus taking offence.
I think it's quite a rare thing in actuality that someone tries in forum to upset people, it just happens.

Now that's funny!
In response to the OP. I'll joke about anything I find funny. It's as simple as that.
If other people find it unfunny then they have the freedom to not laugh. It's as simple as that.

...but do they then still enjoy a freedom to rebuke you for your "humour"????
That's up to them, it's not like I give a fuck :twisted:
you'd give a fuck if their means of rebuking you was by smashing you in the face..........

But then that's not a freedom they have is it?
And again someone who likes to make assumptions, or do you really think this attitude of mine is one I've only had for a couple of days?
FFS can we please have a thread that doesn't come down to being about me?

its not necesarilly a freedom to tell a joke....
conduct causing alarm distress or harrassment constitutes a criminal offence....
i dont have a problem with your attitude.....never have had... never will have....you are what you are and its not for me to change it.....
thing is tho.... if you post something on a forum... its capable of being quoted and tested..... thats all i was doing....clarifying your position...

What can we joke about? Sod all, apparently.
On here we can't joke about drugs.
I had a thread axed that was a link to a very funny ANTI drugs advert from the 60's but because the title mentioned the 'D' word it was binned.
Alcohol related threads though are fine apparently! The stats prove which of those 2 do the most harm in society but hey ho, I'm not a Mod!!
Hypocrisy rules ok!

it seems to me that we can joke about anything at all... sometimes even the saddest things have a brighter side!!!
the problem is however that some might not find your "jokes" funny and might take extreme offence.
my solution..... choose ones audience wisely....
Indeed!...some things one maynot say aloud in a room full of virtual strangers. However, in select company who already know ones level of humour and what may have formed your true opinions the boundaries of understanding may be wider, and offence not so easily taken.
We should respect the sensibilities of those around us...

We can laugh at you and call you Vicky Pollard
I am told I have a dry humour, it can also be dark and black. So called black humour does act as a release sometimes. Sometimes after a day dealing with, well the darker side of life it helps to make fun of it. It does not change the way we deal with or the seriousness we consider the subject of the humour has. It is just a way to break out of the depressed state.

I do not honestly think any subject should be off limits, I posted the following on another thread but think it belongs here as well.
Humour can be used for a lot of things, to cause laughter, to offend, to hurt, to cope and to minimize and make light of a situation. None of which are wrong, because all of these things cause openess and debate about a usually difficult thing to talk about.
Take away humour, you take humanity's ability to cope with the shitty side of life.
Imho of course.

it is interesting question to ask.... fact is somethings are off limits like it or not...( and I for one am happy about it to be honest) .. we all get racist jokes sent to our or our phones. Do you forward them to a black or coloured friend? NO...because you are well aware it may cause offence. I would hope no one on here, would paste one in here, because it would clearly cause offence to some people. We wouldn't paste a joke poking fun at Gays on here!! That is not to say the jokes are not funny, but if they cause offence then we all have to think twice. I have myself recieved bloody loads of Gary Glitter jokes, but to be honest I don't find the subject funny. I have 14 year old daughter, who uses facebook, bebo and MSN, ( yes ofcause I try my best to monitor it..but hey ho she is a teenager) and so the subject is one that concerns me. Jokes are like all other things in life, we have to balance the humour value, against the offence it may cause.
