Chilly Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Welcome to freedom of expression. "Freedom" is only that when it applies to the minority, not the overwhelming majority. Anything else is a bully pulpit. So frickin true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zona Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I'm interested in hearing his response to that. 822378[/snapback] I dunno, maybe he is in the wheelchair, and he is making a joke of it himself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Again, why is a TV show like Hogan's Heros ok? 824064[/snapback] Never said it was ok, and often times I wonder how something like that got on the air without a huge uproar I guess becuase it was so over the top and made the Nazi's look like complete bumbling idiots is the reason people saw it as a parady, not like some kid who just dressed as Hitler to go to school on Halloween Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fezmid Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 what about it? 824771[/snapback] Your avatar is insulting to everyone with a real handicap. Also, anyone have a problem with someone wearing this mask: http://www.sillyjokes.co.uk/dress-up/masks...am-hussein.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bungee Jumper Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Your avatar is insulting to everyone with a real handicap. 824882[/snapback] But...but...but...that's different! We're allowed to make fun of people in wheelchairs. Darin's, though, is tasteless, because we're not allowed to make fun of the mentally retarded. Just like we're not allowed to make fun of Hitler. Is anyone writing these rules down? They get so confusing at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, i am trying to figure these rules out too, So rule one is Hitler and the Holocaust were hilarious. I'm still waiting on the answer on when 911 will be just as funny? Or when school shooting will be laughable? Or whos going to answer the question I asked about weither the dead soldier would be funnier if it was Canadian or British rather then American?

Nice try at spinning it, but if you were handicapped and saw that avatar on an internet forum, would they know you a.) aren't handicapped and b.) aren't making fun of handicapped people? (I think the avatar is funny personally, but there is no difference between that and the other things).

Making fun of something is all in the presentation of it. Obviously Hitler and the holocaust in and of themselves aren't very funny things, and neither is the word "Jew", "handicapped", and other various things. Its the way these things are presented which makes it funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the Avatar, it says I'M just in it for the parking, making a joke about myself. How are they going to find it offensive, it doesn't say they are just in it for the parking or your just in it for the parking, it says I'm just in it for the parking.

Chilly Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 How did this kid present himself that made it humorous? He just showed up to school (twice) dressed as Hitler. Show me where I mentioned this kid? I was talking about your assertion that Hitler, the Holocaust, 911, and other tragedies can't be funny: Anyone who can find humor or parody in a tradgedy like WWII/The Holocaust, or terrorist attacks, or school shootings, etc is dispicable and needs to learn some decency. As for the Avatar, it says I'M just in it for the parking, making a joke about myself. How are they going to find it offensive, it doesn't say they are just in it for the parking or your just in it for the parking, it says I'm just in it for the parking. 825989[/snapback] If you were handicapped, and saw it, you could be offended that it is continuing the "offensive" parking lot jokes that lots of comedians like to tell. You could feel that while you need a close parking lot for a reason, and deserve one, lots of people are attempting to attack you for feeling handicapped. What is funny to one is relative.

bartshan-83 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 I'm still waiting on the answer on when 911 will be just as funny? 825787[/snapback] Actually, 911 is already funny, but only if we blame the jews for it. Borat told me so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennesseeboy Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Gee, I wonder why you aren't allowed to post over there anymore? 823792[/snapback] I suspect its cause I wasn't drinkin the Kool aid you and your buddies were serving! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
