Maybe you don't have to Oi - I can be quite mean you know, to those who toy with my affections. But I am fair. So, I will take that comment to mean that I am super fantastically effortlessly amusing and not that I am a figure of fun. ;D Oh, I know you. I was of course referring to your verve and your sharp wit.

How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered? I thought that to be assassinated one only had to have been deliberately targeted and killed by a professional assassin. Just looked at an online definition and I guess I was wrong. A definition is "When someone important is assassinated, they are murdered as a political act." - but wouldn't that make anyone ever killed by a terrorist, a victim of assassination.Of course it is rape. How about if you didn't pay her afterwards though? Would that be theft? Of what? (Still wrong of course)

Jokes will always offend someone, that's how comedy works. that's just such a silly remark. there are millions of jokes that are funny yet do not offend anyone.

Perhaps. But it is also possible to make a joke about anything without giving justified offence. I can think of such a joke about rape, but am not sure I could tell it the way it should be told. It's point was to educate, to show double standards if you like - its intention was not to make rape something to laugh about.

what are you on about?
clean jokes?
pass the jelly?
all i am saying is that the idea (your idea) that all jokes will offend somebody somewhere is demonstrably not the case.
if you live in a world where the only comedy that you encounter is roy 'chubby' brown or jimmy carr then yeah, it's a conclusion easily reached - but there is more to comedy than that narrow view.
can't you see that?

Here's a tough question. What's more offensive?
1. -> Jokes that are offensive, or
2. -> People who are so easily offended that they can't take a joke.
Put me down as having voted for number 2

Can women be trusted? ? A woman and a man driver are involved in a horrific collision, but amazingly both escape completely unhurt - though their cars are written off. As they crawl out of the wreckage, the man sees the woman is blonde and strikingly beautiful. Then the woman turns to the man and gushes breathily: 'That's incredible - both our cars are demolished but we're fine. It must be a sign from God that we are meant to be together!' Sensing a promise, the man stammers back, 'Oh yes, I agree with you completely!' The woman goes on, 'And look, though my car was destroyed, this bottle of wine survived intact, too! It must be another sign. Let's drink to our love!' 'Well, OK!' says the man, going with the moment. She offers him the bottle, so he downs half of it and hands it back. 'Your turn,' says the man. 'No, thanks,' says the woman, 'I think I'll just wait for the police.'

So how do you feel about jokes that make fun of people's suffering - like jokes about the death camps under the Nazis, jokes about disabled people?
I am offended by them but I DON'T consider myself politically correct in any way.
