Jokes may make sensitive snowflakes burn in anger. But you're wanting to normalize and even go farther than that, to institutionalize this sensitivity to words. It would make the United States a pathetic society. We won this from the British when we decided that we wouldn't take it anymore. We didn't whine or cry, we got our guns and took the nation rightfully. But the snowflakes won't win. Most of the people here have disagreed with you, and in my humble opinion, sanity and reason has prevailed. |
Conservatives sure do love their fan fiction. Tell us about the one where the imaginary lib got red in the face when someone said Merry Christmas to him! Jumpin said:
Jimmy Carr has plenty of jokes about the Holocaust. Jojo Rabbit is filled with anti-Semitic jokes. A ban on Holocaust humour would be a ban on that comedian and that film. Jimmy Carr was attacked (cancelled, if you will) by a horde of angry righteous crusaders. A comedian who leans dark and satirical and the joke was on a special called “His dark material” which came out in late 2021 - but the cancel-mob didn’t get around to clipping and cancelling him for several months afterwards. Tell me, what harm did his Holocaust joke do? Or any of his Holocaust jokes do? Anyway, Jimmy Carr has a response for the next time he gets cancelled: |
You've completely misunderstood what I'm saying. Comedians can make jokes about the Holocaust, about gay people, about trans people, about black people, etc. I have even posted a bit about black churches in this very thread. The key is, are they actually telling jokes, or are they spreading thinly veiled hate speech. |
I'm a swing voter and swing both ways as well, voting for Biden fwiw
