Is any subject fair game for humour.

[saoirse]

how simple do you need me to be in what I write-you asked is any subject off limits for humour and I replied whist there are things I personally dont find funny-no subject should be off limits


if thats back pedalling you must have had some strange bicycles in your day

Saoirse - as you may have gleaned from reading my posts I am indeed a simple soul. However....

You are correct regarding the subject of the thread. But, it was you, not I, who stated that "consistency/hypocrisy is the key"

Fact: You do consider the torching of two people as dark humour.

Fact: You do not find the murder of people in the same way.

You are correct in your assertions elsewhere that people do not know you. But what they do know is that they considered your post, which started all this, to be offensive and, in my opinion, they have every right to take you to task over it.

You maybe right about us going round in circles, but I would be obliged if you would address the consistency/hipocrisy issue one more time and we can leave it at that.

Can I just say, he didn't make a remark about two people getting torched, he made a remark about the quality of the rioters.

[Highlander]

In the context of what exactly ?

[Scunner]

If the "dark humour" was observation based, the observation was about the rioters.

I genuinely dont know where you see me as not being consistent.

I repeat all subjects should be up for humour

Do I find all subjects funny-no. If thats where you say I am being inconsistent you have lost me!

As I have said all along we all find different things funny-or not.

Where consistency and hypocrisy comes into it some of you on here are swooning and fainting over my royals jibe yet I doubt any of them has ever reached for the pills over a titanic or firing squad joke-indeed I often find many of the righteous moral types can go nuts over some remarks/humour but raise a wee smile with a "Pakky or similar joke

Bottom line Highlander I really couldnt care what self righteous type people think-especially if they are that shallow to make their mind up on someone on the basis of a joke!

I reckon that is the biggest joke of these threads!

I lost all respect for them when they didn't isolate a female police officer and gave her a right good kicking.

Call themselves rioters.

The main, important fact to me is that FINALLY we have a topic loosely based on politics and have 12 pages of different opinions and it hasn't been locked. It almost resembles an adult conversation.

Even that humour could be seen as tasteless if you look at it as taking the P out of, should I say, "less fortunate" people.

Analysing everything for correctness won't leave us with much left to laugh at. Even the Beano portayed today's thorny issues such as bullying and poverty as fair game for fun. This is why the line has to be drawn by the individual, nobody else can do it.
