I like how he stopped posting after the big guns came out
but don't worry here comes alex_delarge to cover for him lol
See the thing is that people generally get angry about terrible things if it has happened anywhere in their life or to anyone they care about. People who joke about rape, genocide, murder, parental death, etc are spoiled children or emotionally destroyed individuals
Like I would get mad at someone who made fun of the concept of one's parent being dead, because my girlfriend's mother died 2 years ago, but I would make a rape joke (not in her company because girls get upset about it easy because girls are most likely the ones being raped). It just takes a well rounded caring person to not joke about terrible things, but people aren't that, people are mean.

[QUOTE=Alex_DeLarge;32716148]If you're offended, get the fuck over yourself. No one has to tone themselves down just because you want them to.[/QUOTE]
There are times and places for saying whatever you like, if you are causing intense emotional distress to someone because of what you are saying then you should fuck right off. Like what if someone's mother just died and some douchebag overhears it and makes fun of that person and keeps on laughing and shit, i mean you can't just tell the person who's mother died to "get over themselves"
You are a fucking sheltered ass kid Alex, you don't have any sympathies for anyone, it's disgusting sometimes.

[QUOTE=Contag;32710016]except that joking about rape makes it more acceptable
which is why anti-semitic and racist jokes are generally looked down on[/QUOTE]
People like to make fun of jews for some reason I'll never know, I honestly cannot think of a single reason why jewish people are discriminated against.

Because they usually keep to themselves, historically. Makes people mistrust them for whatever reason.

Mostly because they ran proto-financial services and controlled that aspect of the economy for hundreds of years, because loans were un-christian.
hence the thematic link between jewish people being money hungry etc.

It does. If you're offended by boobs but rape jokes are okay, you have all the maturity and intellectual consistency of a six year old.

Rape jokes are okay in my opinion, as long as you keep it between friends. If you create a page on facebook for the sole purpose of showing a stupid joke that will obviously infuriate some people, then you are retarded.
It's like making racist jokes. I'm making a lot with my friends because I know none of us are racists and it's all fine, though I would never do a racist joke with someone I don't know because he could get offended or pissed off badly.
About breasts, yeah, it's retarded to prohibit breastfeeding pictures on facebook, but in my opinion you shouldn't post it there anyway - breastfeeding is an act of intimacy between the mother and her kid, it shouldn't be posted on a social network for everyone to see it anyway.

Intimacy? You're just feeding a kid. Any stigma that comes from it is socially constructed.
