The Dutch finally admit to warcrimes.

[Squidusa]

What? Which "the Dutch" are you talking about? The Dutch who engaged in war crimes? The Dutch politicians? The Dutch people in general or all Dutch people?

There's 2 kinds of people I can't stand. People who are intollerant of other cultures, and the Dutch! 

 :lol:

Austin Powers ftw.

I know that as aspies we're not supposed to get jokes, but this is silly.
Scrappy is joking about hating the Dutfh.

I thought we were meant to be the socially able ones on this site? lol

Perhaps in typical aspie fashion, recent trauma on the site is making us regress

Perhaps there is no real trauma just a lot of bullshit and the "joke" was not very clear and some of us were confused as to whether it was a joke, or whether contextualising with linking it to Dutch War Crimes were making the issue a little hard to gauge?

You know between your explanation and mine, I put money on mine.

It was very clearly a joke. It wasnt unclear at all.
My regressing comment was also a joke, but if you couldnt work out whether Scrappy was joking, Im not surprised you failed to understand that I was joking.

But the link was serious, pretty horrible stuff. Did you read it?

I am aware of what the Dutch done, but Scrappy was using that to make a joke.

Im assuming people who didnt get that he was joking were confused because he used a serious topic to start the joke?

I did. That is why I thought the joke was unclear and if a joke was probably at best in poor form and at worst not a joke at all.
Removing wheelchair access from an old people's home and setting a fire alarm could be considered a joke or a prank but is not likely to win me over as being "clearly a joke". Not of course preuming this is the same level of bad form, but makes the point as what is or is not in someone's estimation clearly a cut and clear case of a joke.
Again not that it matters. Just was and is, unclear. No harm done and no issue with some of us being confused by it. Doesn't actually reflect badly on those of us who did not understand the joke nor makes a case for regression or supposed trauma either i guess?

Everythimng about Srappys use of language made it clear that this was a joke.

[renaeden]

I usually get jokes but I don't get this one. Ah well.

Not really. Glad you got it though. Shame you presumed, because you did, that everyone else did. Oh well.

[Frolic_Fun]

Aspies eh.

[lutra]

Well I, being Dutch, am not butthurt or something.. and 'There's 2 kinds of people I can't stand. People who are intolerant of other cultures, and the Dutch!' is quite a good joke, in my opinion.

But ja.. what Dutch soldiers did in Rawagede, Indonesia 64 years ago was terrible and very wrong.

[Al Swearegen]

Aspies eh.

Yes the very bane of Intensitysquared. Can't trust 'em.

[Pyraxis]

Some of us just don't give a shit.
