Do women get the easy treatment....

[The_P]

If some anecdote is done correctly, regardless if it is about rape, pregnancy, whatever, then I will laugh at it.

maybe you'd care to explain to me how being raped or losing a child could be funny?

I knew you would take this to heart.

I said it before and I will say it again: Despite how I may feel about some certain issues, like the ones you've listed, I will laugh at fucked-up humour -- be it from a episode from South Park or Family Guy, or from a date-rape joke by the likes of Joan Rivers.

Private Eye has made a light-hearted attempt at humourising paedophilia, and I thought it was funny as fuck, despite the numerous complaints it had from the viewers. But I am not insensitive to this issue because a family member of mine has been sexually abused by one of them.

it's not about taking it to heart, it's about wanting to know why you think such things can be funny.  and you still haven't answered the question.

Didn't you think the paedophile episode of Brass eye was funny?  It dealt with a subject that most people would think could never be seen as funny, is it that much different?

[Lucifer]

the humour in that was to do with the way in which he was making a serious point, i thought, rather than paedophilia being instrinsically funny per se..  i take your point, though.

I feel that it is not wrong to make parodies out of what is cruel about this world. We as a nation did the same with Hitler, the racists, the politicians, the disabled, but why must it stop there? Who says that comedy needs to have certain boundaries on certain issues?

No-one here contested when I mocked autistics, calling them "spazes", or when HG mentioned that Robert should be euthanized when he was still sticking up for Omega. I find this hypocritical.

I can't see how the two subjects in question could be funny, but sometimes you just never know- it is a little crass to mention them in such an offhand way, but I kind of see where you're both coming from with this.

Oh BRASS Eye. Durr... what I was referring to earlier was Ian Hislop's mag. Silly me.

.....on this board.  simply because they have a vagina?

I've brought this topic up before and yes, sometimes they get a free pass, but that isn't different from society in general.

I was thinking about my 4 years in the Marines and all the women I cam across. 3 of them were damn good Marines, 2 of those 3 were former drill instructors.

All in all, I'd say this though, out of a squadron of 130 someodd people with 120 guys and 10-12 women, if you were to pick the 5 most lazy worthless pieces of shit in the unit, 3 of those 5 would be women.

Nor by me..I'm very picky about vagina's as I get older.

No, only one, but it is of the highest quality.

i tried before in this thread.  that was a purposeful act on my part.  but it didn't work.  so i can say honestly, that when i do irritate you, it probably isn't purposeful.


now, i have to leave for work!

Ok I see what you mean, that wasn't the thing I thought you'd deny but nevermind

Have a good afternoon!

i am ready for an ass drubbing.  i am considering calling you out over this, because i wish to get to the bottom of it.  that is, unless you think that it would irritate you?

[purposefulinsanity]

Re-read my post- you said: "so what i hear from you is that you want me soooo bad."
To which I responded with "Like it doesn't cut both ways  "

That was the comment I thought you'd deny- are you happy now you made me look a twunt for having to spell it out exactly for you??
