    Humor helps us stereotypical child molesters with Santa beards understand the world around us before we murder the kid.

    Only after they cry though. Can't get off otherwise.

    Yummy. I'll just have to find a hospital full of 3-year-old cancer patients for a new stew. Ain't no cracker-munchin' without a stew!

    I think joking about that sort of thing kind of falls under the category of "If I joke about all races, I'm not really racist, because I dislike everyone equally..."

    Oh, this reminds me of a great joke about disabled roman catholic pygmees that commited suicide by crashing a planeload of childporn into a cancer treatment hospital.

    shrubbery the simple's bad breathe?

    i think torture is too freeking creepy, as long as it's something that anyone who has a brain could end up being subjected to for using it. other times, when it's something far away and less likely to happen to everyone, then it might be easier to joke about.

    same goes for the other things. if they were completely no longer a problem and never happened and real people weren't exposed to real suffering because of them.

    irony and prat fall are ofcourse the root of humor though. so i like posthumas' suggestion.

    and what the HELL is the fanatical hangup people seem to have about so called 'child' porn. other then the fact that some people have that hang up, and are willing to do things to other people for it, that they would otherwise not tollerate being done to anyone?

    hilarious... but it would be funnier if he was handicapped. seriously joking about handicapped people isn't funny (to me). i don't believe anything should be out of bounds. I mean what's in good taste and the feelings of others should be taken into account by the person doing the joking, but if u have something genuinely funny to say about gay nazis you go for it. but if you're just being shocking for it's own sake in an attempt to be funny (i'm talkin to u all u little carlos mencias out there) you're only making yourself look stupid.

    i think that pretty much nails it, other then i have no idea who carlos whatsis is, but pretty much from context probably don't need to.

    If you can't joke about serious matters, you end up taking everything too seriously. Including yourself.

    Ya, agree, its either all okay or none is. I feel alot of humour is in bad taste (to my personal taste), but words are not illegal, and censorship is shit.

    That is totally besides the point. A rape in itself is usually not funny, but we are not talking about the deed an sich.

    oh yes, and of course people with special needs, like my father is crippled (MS), and when he was able walk but getting bad, he still worked to support our family, when he fell down stairs, everyone was laughing at him. and he REALLY hurt himself! thats not funny, i wish i could have known who it was that made fun of them. then bury them in a chat pile. ( i live where you all get your zinc!!!)
