Right now, if anyone were to post a joke about "retards" I'd do 17 different kinds of unspeakable horrors to them.  Being retarded is no "funny" for the person or their parents.

@ Hykey.. yeah, you're right 'bout the huge egos.. but I'm in doubt about little dicklets being stepped on now. Brought it up myself, kinda, but how does one step on s/o little dicklet? Makes, thinking about it now, little sense. Phew, me and sayings..

*starts googling obsessively*  :laugh:

Just don't joke about Allah and his beloved Nabi Mohammad. Even if it's a PG-rated joke.

So I guess you wouldn't see the humor in this:

Dont joke about hitler/holocaust(had quite a heavy argument on this issue this morning with someone that thought it´d be funny to create an account by the name of hitlir and ask jews to like his update)

Dont joke about bodie´s body(thats just come sense :zoinks:)

Should be fine avoiding those two

I agree with V about the holocaust jokes

they're just not funny at all, and anne frankly I think they're wrong

lol sorry. I think we SHOULD make jokes about hitler personally. think what he'd say if he heard them himself :laugh: ...he would definitely not want to have ended up a figure of ridicule. and if we do the opposite, we risk turning him into a voldemort type character, which is dangerous. He-who-must-not-be-named :M

Holocaust jokes... I do think they are definitely distasteful tbh. I couldn't resist that one though, just in response to your post. I wouldn't usually make holocaust jokes, but maybe because I've studied it a lot and feel very strongly about holocaust denial etc.

Anyway, I think anything should be fair in GENERAL

but I do think it's crossing the line when people use individual examples. Like I don't like jokes about madeiline mccann, although in a sick way those kind of jokes can be funny really. It's more about the context tho really. If someone on here had just had a relative murdered with an axe, it would be wrong to joke about axe-murderers. Jokes about axe murderers are obviously not wrong in general tho

how much does a holocaust? about six million

why did hitler kill himself? he got the gas bill.

whats the worst thing about being the only black jew in the gas chamber? they make you sit at the back.

i could go on...

I am with you on this. I was friends with people from the special ed class at school and they used to get picked on so much, it used to make me mad.

I don't like too many jokes about mental illness, especially about self-harm, depression and suicide. As Adam said, it depends on the context, e.g., I make jokes about the memory I lost from ECT but I wouldn't joke about someone else's memory lost from that.

This: :autism: was kind of a joke I made (the code not the smiley itself) that I thought some might be offended by but it seems people are ok with it. Maybe because the majority of us are autistic? Are autism jokes appropriate here? I have seen some AS/autism pictures that are meant to be funny.
