Shitty Jokes?
On SH?
I don't find that plausible.
[QUOTE=Big Dumb American;49244808]This ironic "sword control" argument is insultingly stupid.[/QUOTE]
Is it that it's not your brand of humor, or is a political satire really that insulting?
I seriously wondered if trollhättan was just some parody name.

I have a lot of appreciation for political satire. This is just incredibly dumb satire. What's insulting is not the joke itself but the idea that any human being could actually be so far up their own ass to sit and read this and think, "yes, that's funny and clever and totally on point." It somehow feels debasing. It's like walking in on your dad fucking a melon. You never wanted to know that he was capable of that.

I think we skipped some proportionality here.
Didn't Jon Stewart once make a "Gorilla Control" joke on the Daily Show? I didn't find it particularly funny, but is that also worthy of being declared an insulting mess of a joke?
[QUOTE=Daniel Smith;49243568]Face it, Sweden has a sword problem. the right to bare blades is an old and outdated amendment and has no place in the 21st century.[/QUOTE]
Legalize nuclear weapons for personal use, the problem is within the user, not the tool!!!! And if everyone had nukes strapped to them, nobody would dare attack them, it's logic you euridiot
If you disagree, you disagree with #freedom
Yes, three people have died, three too many, but the kind of devastation this guy could've done had he wielded an assault weapon instead isn't even comparable

Dunno. Guess I'd have to see the context.
I mean, what makes satire funny is that it has some basis in reality. This sword nonsense is satirizing arguments that aren't being made with logic that doesn't make sense. There is no clever ironic analysis here, just awkward self gratification. Masturbation, really.
Which is all to say: its just not funny to me, dude.
I'm from a different country and knives aren't a problem here, I've never needed a knife, so why are they even legal there at all?

Coincedentally, i had my vpn turned on when i posted that, the irony is supposed to be that my flagdog says usa.
So wait, if another person succumbs to this swordsman, does that mean that there would be a mass uh... sword attack? Stabbing? Poking?
The last victim of these horrible murders in a devastating racially motivated attack died.
And the whole thread boiled down into a running joke about sword control, what the hell? Literally except like one post asked "I wonder what the motives of the perpetrator was?" which no one answered.
I guess the whole incident has been brought up enough to not warrant any more discussion, or what?
[QUOTE=Swebonny;49244200]I'm actually wondering if this is a joke post like all the posts before you.[/QUOTE]Having been stabbed (and slashed) I can safely say if I have a choice I will take a gunshot every goddamn time, I still get the heebie jeebies when I even see a knife and it's been almost ten years.

I get what you're saying and yeah it's shitty that the thread spiraled off topic with jokes and stuff, but there really isn't much to say here. I think everyone who's posted so far can agree that stabbings are not okay, murder isn't okay, and this was a bad time for all involved except the nutbar swinging his saber around.
[QUOTE=RichyZ;49248691]considering the dude liked a lot of nazi shit on youtube and apparently was also super racist in real life as well as his main targets being brown people
well the dots connect themselves[/QUOTE]Oh, I know. Like I said, unless you eat paint chips or huff gasoline you won't be able to truly understand his motives.

Nope, we have another town called Trosa and it means Panties :V
[QUOTE=Lone Wolf807;49244670]Hows this work? What're the rules 'n stuff? Whats it called?[/QUOTE]
In this sparring we pretended it was "first blood" duels with afterblows.
The activity is called HEMA, you can google around or visit FP's own HEMA thread at [url]https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1456747[/url] if you have questions.

so im guessing the correct word would be parody?
[QUOTE=dai;49245745]maybe it's a shit joke then[/QUOTE]
I would like to thank you dai for telling me what is and isn't funny. I am glad I had this supreme overlord of comedy to tell me what I should find humorous and what I should not, as humor is objective.
