Does anyone support the students?

[saoirse]

I dont think anyone would have anything but contempt for those who desecrate cenataphs, graves etc. Low lifes.

My barbed sense of humour re Charles obviously went down bad with some. I take it you wont be wanting a Frankie Boyle dvd this Xmas

Anyhow no harm meant-very different sense of humour in this part of the world. Happy Xmas to all including any "Disgusted-Tunbridge Wells" types.

Or perhaps he was a student of history and realized that tradionally in this country we wait until a Charles is king before we chop off his head.

xxbilleigh-joxx - Superb Post and it heartens me greatly that what appears to be the 2 youngest people to have posted on this subject have more informed views and common sense than some of the older dinosaurs - there is hope

Well said that man!

What gets me is why anyone actually took any notice of the Lib Dem Manifesto. I mean lets get real here - they knew there was ..er.. exactly no chance that they would be voted into power and therefore could make such ridiculous pledges knowing full well they would never have to follow them through.

Then they agreed to join up with the Tories and had to get back into the Real World  

As for that plonker Gilmour! There are pictures of him in the paper trying to set fire to a building (probably with people inside)and to be honest he needs locking up for a long time. Spoiled little rich kid!

I lost all  respect for them when they didnt torch Charlie and his bird

call themselves rioters-

Just how would the reader conclude that this was an attempt at humour.

PS I presume that you do know that you cannot call it black humour

[stoop]

It's just another term for sick humour H.

[nuttybird]

I am shocked too and I wrote it

You need to get out more or lead a less sheltered life if black humour has such an effect on you

Yes I lead a very sheltered life Saoirse, I dont know whats happening to the world out there from my little bubble of perfectness! My sincere apologies that I dont find it funny that you would like to 'torch' someone 'black humour' or not. Perhaps thats just because my friend was burnt alive because someone set fire to the flat beneath her and she couldnt get out. Or perhaps it has something to do with my cousin over in your neck of the woods was in a car fire and couldnt get out. Think you have picked the wrong person to be sarcastic to about these subjects, all be it you didnt know, and also re Frankie Boyle he is the lowest of the low, so your right no I wont be wanting his DVD this christmas, especially seen as my brother was severely handicapped/disabled when he was alive and I do not take kindly to anyone taking the mick out of anyone less able, physically or mentally than the rest of us! My rant over, sorry to all who read this that I have taken this so seriously but things like this really get my back up and I will speak up about it (and go into detail!). Now breath...
Back to those Students.....

[saoirse]

get over yourself-if we are to think of every possible event that may have happened to someone before we crack a joke we would all need to remain silent

As regards frankie-to put it bluntly whilst not everyones taste no one ever died over someone telling a joke

Humour is very individual (thank god) and what others find funny I may not and vice versa. God knows I  would rather have Frankie and that sort of near the knuckle humour than some sad prat like Jim Davidson with racist humour which I dont find funny.

Lifes too short-if you dont find something funny, get up tight about it if you must-then move on.

[nuttybird]

Yep your absolutely right Saoirse! I dont find it funny in the slightest, and yep I get up tight about these kind of remarks and im not ashamed of that, but hey as you say humour is very individual, especially yours, and what you said I didnt find funny at all, but you obviously did... so like you feeling the need to broadcast your humour, I feel the need to broadcast my disgust. Dont write something out on here and then not like it if someone objects. We are all free to our opinions. Gotten up tight, and now moving on!

Dark humour is alive and kicking in the UK, more than ever before. It doesn't matter whether it's mass murderer Fred West or 200,000 people dying in a tsunami, my phone lights up with 'joke' texts about it. Such humour received from a friend seems acceptable. When it's on CBF written by someone you have never met it is a disgrace. Someone please explain that one to me...
