What do you hold sacred?

[Phantom]

Anytime I hear someone tell a joke concerning Holocaust victims, dead or injured children, "starving Ethiopians," or animal cruelty, it makes me cringe. How can people be so callous? How can any sane person find these things funny?

 

Even the most laid-back among us has a few topics they consider taboo. What is something you hold sacred and would never consider joking about?

 

A little off topic but I just read this article and it broke my heart. I can't stand hearing about things like this.

 

In my opinion, children are SO precious and are a blessing to all of us. Shouldn't some things in this world still be considered sacred or is everything fair game nowadays?

so now would be a bad time to go into my barage of dead baby jokes?

[snafu]

Before I read anything, my first thought was my family and friends. I do hold them sacred. But I don't think you'll get to many here to spill out their vulnerabilities.

That wouldn't be wise.

That's ok. Unlike some people cough Kannibaal cough I don't care if my threads have 30 pages of replies consisting of people calling me "fucktard" and "cum bubble."

 

Another thing I can't do is (Warning: Holy Roller Alert) use he Lord's name in vain. There are so many creative vulgarities to use before resorting to JC or GD.

Family and friends for me too.

 

The rest, fuck em'..

[Phantom]

You guys are some real hard asses. Family is a given. Anything else? I'm surprised none of you mentioned your spiritual beliefs.

[eddo]

I don't make fun of my spiritual beliefs, but I won't go off on someone else who does.

 

What's the difference between a pile of dead babies and a brand new cadillac?

 

 

 

 

 

 

There certainly isn't a brand new cadillac in my garage...

[phreakwars]

I hold my own personal virtue sacred. Even if others oppose it.

I remember this story. It was made a big deal here in Indiana. Piles of leaves were seen as makeshift tombs.

 

Its hard to find humor in that case. Well.....maybe if the little girls name happened to be Autumn. Or maybe if at the funeral the father looked up to the sky and cried out "God why, why would she leaf us this way". Hello....hello...is this thing on...?...?...?

 

I hate to be so blah, Phantom, but the only thing among my friends and I that is considered taboo to joke about is our kids. We exchange jokes about our mothers fucking our uncles and what not, all in good spirit. But never a joke about our kids. Thems fightin words.

[Outlaw2747]

My own life is sacred. My family is sacred no matter how many times we fight. My friends are sacred. My beliefs are sacred.

You do know where you going for that comment don't you? lol

 

That story tore my heart out, it really did.

 

But your comment made me spit my drink all over my keyboard.. You bastid'

I'm going to laugh my ass off when the two of you are burning in the flames of Hell for all eternity.

Well at least I will be warm!

I'm not welcome back there after the last time. I made a real scene and they asked me not to come back.

[Msixty]

what is the difference between a jew and a pizza?

 

lol, just joking, really, i only find my dead family off limits to bashing, everything else is fare game, it's not like we are actually doing something, it's just print on an internet screen, jesus h christ! (i wonder what the H is for)

[Jhony5]

jesus h christ! (i wonder what the H is for)

Herbert. Its in Psalms 2:12

[Sly]

To this day, I've not found anything I can hold dear ... for very long it seems.

But alas, It's not my task to regail you with tales of lonliness. sigh

[rizzo]

Jokes about hurting kids I don't find funny, or jokes about animal cruelty.

[Phantom]

...it's not like we are actually doing something, it's just print on an internet screen, jesus h christ!

 

Hello, people! Not every thread I start is inspired by something that occurred on GF. I do have a life outside this place.

who are you trying to kid?

[ToriAllen]

It would have to be child abuse jokes for me. There was an email about the ten things men shouldn't say in Victoria's secret and I found all of them to be funny except 'Do you have this in children's sizes'. Something about this kind of joke makes my skin crawl. Child abuse and child molestation are very touchy subjects for me, and I take them very seriously.

[Phantom]

I do! There are at least 250 other forums I visit on a daily basis.

I agree: YUCK.

Oh come on. Thats funny as shit and you know it. Humor is a sense, I guess. Like any other sense some of us just don't have a well tuned one. Or perhaps you let your moral fiber deflect any joke that spawns from a touchy subject. I don't think that pedophilia is funny. However joking about pedophilia IS funny. How is it any worse than joking about midgets or blacks? A joke is a joke and a fucking joke isn't meant too hurt someone. A joke is not a joke when it is said with the intention of hurting someone directly. Its about intent. Take your joke about the lingerie. If I told that to my friend, than its funny. If I told that to a person who's parents forced them to wear lingerie to make child porn to distribute it on the internet, than thats not funny.

 

I think the sense of humor is largely divided along the lines of sex. Women are too damn sensitive about feelings being hurt. Whereas a man could give a shit less for the sake of having a laugh.

A joke for Tori:

 

What's the worst thing about eating bald pussy ??

I thought this was about what do we hold sacred in life not how much we hate anti-baby/children jokes.
