I dont know if its a cultural thing. How is Heather having only one leg, Heather making an idiot of herself.



Im sure it happens in the US, but that doesnt mean I have to go mainstream and find it funny.



Jokes I find funny dont involve someone's physical disabilities, birth defects, skin color or mental status. I just dont think that is funny. But hey thats me and Im allowed to think so.


Okay so I got one for you.



Koan was walking through the park one day. A squirrel ran up her leg under her dress. She just laughed she didnt care she knew she didnt have any nuts.

Ok Jimbo and Spot- you need to back down a little! So DG doesnt think jokes about disabled people are very funny! Thats her own opinion weather you like it or not! She has a big heart and doesnt like that sort of stuff ok? Back off a little! Geez! :-5

thanks for setting the record straight on that, YZGI

It is the opinion of a number of members that these jokes are hysterical.

haha read a little more- I said my husband looked like a giant penis- hes 6"4 and his head is shaped funny- and shes not trying to say you are racist- she has a huge heart and can't stand people being made fun of! So at least respect that.

I got it..she didn't find the joke funny, does she need you to come here demanding that someone should apologize?

It seems as though Jim wasn't the only person to find it funny.

I'll make a note for future though, that anything that may upset your friends we MUST apologize for. Noted

You would have thought that if she was offended by the joke then she would have stated her piece and never re-entered said thread. That way she would not have been offended any further. JMO

Spot, I didnt even mention you to apologize did I? I just said you shouldn't be so harsh

Learnt from the best ST

There is nothing that rates one person's opinion more valuable than another's. If an apology is needed then apologies are due on both sides.

There is this strange phenomenon that I keep hearing of that when one person takes offense at something then everyone else is suddenly crossing a line. In this case we've got one(perhaps two) people who don't like these jokes. We've got a larger number of people who are having lots of fun with them. DG received an apology so I think she should now apologise to jimbo for insulting his sense of humour. Just my opinion.

Ok, I'm sorry spot, I didnt mean you- I meant someone else- please forgive me- i got your avatars mixed up for some reason

Does anyone else think this has all got just a little silly?



Jimbo made a tasteless joke, DG didn't find it funny, OK fair enough but Jimbo makes jokes (some of them are even funny), DG is obviously a sensitive person who doesn't like this type of joke - which is her right.



Perhaps it would be best if DG ignores Jim's funnies and Jim never ever makes jokes again:D but could we stop having a go at each other on a thread that is supposed to be fun!!!

It'll be the other archangel slaying dragons then. I often get confused myself.

You have to be kidding me! No one was insulting his sense of humor! His personal opinionwas that it was funny, fine! Dg's was that it wasn't funny, fine! Its when Jim was rude about her not liking the joke that the apology was necessary! Geez! for a forum who is all about everyone deserves their own opinion, ya'll are heartless!

you take insult to everything- not worried about it

Sweet Tooth;547737 wrote: you take insult to everything- not worried about it


so if you aren't worried about insulting me... because I'm so ultra sensitive, why should anyone be worried about insulting DG?

Just forget about ST. There are always going to be people out there who find humor in the misfortunes of others. Let them be. They're the ones that look like jerks on the outside.

And just for the record Jimbo: I dont make fun of bald, fat, acne-ridden, mentally handicapped, physically handicapped, birth defected, or any other person suffering an illness. I dont make fun of jews, hindis, arabs, blacks, or indian people. And Im fine with that. I like being that way. Im sorry all of you think I am an uptight, immature ultra-sensitive bitch. I said what I had to say, gave my opinion, defended myself, and even answered a few questions along the way. I dont want or need an apology.

oh, I see. You get to decide when the insult matters. That explains a lot. Thank you.

Did I forget to mention I was also an amputee?

Hey DG, I'm really sorry to hear that :-4 It is really hard to live with disability. I am sorry that you have been offended with this thread

There have been many threads discussing things that I have personal experience with and that I find uncomfortable. If I enter the thread I either make one statement and leave or I tell people why I have a vested interest in the topic. If she didn't want to divulge personal information then she could have stayed out of the thread. These jokes will always exist. It was never personal.

Sweet Tooth;547773 wrote: just asking- whats blinkered stirring?


ST - my apologies, I thought you were acting just to wind things up, I have just read DG's post that she is an amputee. I can see why she is sensitive to jokes along those lines. I have just deleted that post as it seems it is inaccurate.



DG my apologies too if I have offended you, it was never my intention.

Sweet Tooth;547768 wrote: OK? NOW DO YOU SEE?!


Hey ST - no hard feelings :-6

I think the problem is we always want to protect people from things that will hurt them or their feelings, it is a natural reaction.

Everyone handles disability in different ways, The thread was in no way meant to hurt DG's feelings.
