Does anyone support the students?

I have often thought about starting a separate thread asking if any subject is acceptable as humour. Honestly

Scunner I find the concept of what people find funny fascinating

If a cruise ship sank tonight and I joked about it here the easily offended brigade would be on me-but if we tell a titanic joke its ok. So are sick jokes funny after a period of time-surely thats just hypocrisy

Same as what people go up in arms about-I often find that many moral crusader types have a darker side to their own sesnse of humour/morals etc. Someone who goes nuts re a disabled joke might well raise a smile at a racist one.

I know Mr S  you have some experience of this part of the world and we are renowned for our gallows type humour-and we maker no apology for it, nor do we pontificate with moral judgements on whos  humour is sick and whos not

For mere mortals like myself who try to be up front, warts and all-its amusing in itself to hear the self righteous declare whats funny and whats sick in humour.

I get lots of sick jokes sent to me after disasters and can see the funny side but don't send them on out of respect, thats my choice, but can you explain to me where the dark funny side is of the above statement?

then we can back on topic!

obviously isnt funny to you-I just thought even at being rioters they were pretty inept.

Quite frankly as I have said humour is extremely individualistic. I dont find racist stuff funny, others do. The differnece is i wouldnt be going nuts about  it nor passing self righteous judgement on those that do find such stuff funny.

If you like it thats good -if you dont , well no one died.

so we have established you have a different sense of humour-bit of a waste of bandwidth but there you go.

Back to topic indeed theres a thread re humour already started.

Thing is saorise - it comes across as if you actually would have like them to be torched.

Stoop I would genuinely love to care how you feel it came across!

The thing is its laughable the way some appoint thenselves as morality judges on others views/sense of humour etc
