Merry Christmas, again.
Wow Jen…what a can of worms you opened here.
I personally did not find them offensive, some even made me chuckle. For all those who were offended, do you also have a problem with the show “Monk”? Most people find it humorous and Tony Shalhoub has won the emmy for the last 3 years.
dont be offended who ever is. the question is who is the bigger ass, the person who didnt mean to offend but inadvertantly does, or the person who goes out of their way to tell someone “hey, i dont like that, and i’m offended” why should the other person even care if you are offended or not. i wouldnt, i would say they chose to be offended, so let them be. and let them sniffle too.
i thought they were good jen.
so, did you know hitler didnt drink vodka. He said it made him mean. :wink:
Making fun of people who cannot defend themselves is not funny. It is cowardly.
here is something inspired. If you thought the holy tortilla was a sign of god or the holy bean burrito or the holy toast, or the holy fruit, or the holy whatever. this is the greatest sign that god exists.
dog bless you.
this may help too

ahhhh M36 - it looks like the the stars have alligned themselves once again into a house where we agree on something.
I guess some people think its amusing still, to make fun of people with mental disorders. Just so long as these people do not reproduce.
My view? If you don’t like it, fine. If you do like it, fine. But to discuss how horrible a person is because he or she thinks of it makes you even worse, now you are biggotted and infringing on that persons freedom of expression.

how is it bigotted to say that it is not nice to make fun of people who have painful and often crippling mental disorders? Also how does it infringe on one’s freedom of expression for me to express myself to advocate for the suffering. Some might even say that this is my job - as a physician and a relatively conscientious human being. Trying to shame me into not advocating for the suffering is something i would not expect to find in a “civilized society”. Still, i suppose that those who would make fun of those who suffer may also be the kind of person to try to prevent advocacy on behalf of those people.
there was no personal insult, someone had to go out of their way, make a scene, just because they didnt like a joke. people are offended by many things, and so what. if another enjoys it, more benefeit to them.
the question is why be offended if the person didnt mean to offend you. let it slide.

Let’s say that you, or someone you love, suffers from depression - so much so, that it is significantly interfering in their/your quality of life. Now some idiot comes along and makes fun of you/your loved one. You may not feel offended, but if you are a feeling individual, then i would suggest that you would not be happy to “let it slide”.
having trouble relating? How about if someone makes fun of conservatives, gun owners, military personel, your mother? I"m not about to make fun of these people, and to be honest, i would consider it in bad taste to single them out for ridicule (except for Bush, but i’m sure the most powerful person in the world can handle himself).
My point is that although i am not personally offended, at the same time, i do feel that it is appropriate to stick up for people who can’t or are not here to. Just like M36 - making fun of these people is cowardly.
Now i am not going to take it on myself to be offended, but please forgive me for pointing out why these kinds of jokes are “in bad taste”. Still - you don’t know if i suffer from bipolar, ADHD, depression, schizophrenia etc. . . .
if he makes fun of you personally to your face is of course different. but if he makes fun of canadian doctors, let it slide.
friends can make fun of each others moms, and let it slide.
i dont care if someone disses conservatives or guns or something. i just laugh at the stupidity. there’s not much that can be said to get mad at.
Why does what one person says affect you? ? ? i dont comprehend.
So this Canadian Doctor walks into a bar…
Sorry couldn’t resist.
