Well LHC obvioulsy has the mentality and sense of humor of a 3 year old.

thing is even in a twisted way his piss taking isn't even funny.. just pathetic trying to be an attention seeking whore by beeing controversial... what a dick.


Yeah, I'm sure he has the mentality of a 3 year old... because we all know that 3 year olds have a firm grip on reality and what death is. They also find it extremely humorous when they find out about what it is... It's fun to compare things that aren't even close to each other and act like they're the same, isn't it? He's not being an attention seeking whore, he's being serious. People out there who think like he does actually do exist. In fact, I think in a similar way, but not right now. I didn't think that this specific incident was funny, but there were a few "tragic" events that gave me a good laugh. While I normally, unless extremely pissed off, would not have made the comment he initially made, what he said is true. It's not his fault that they died, and there's nothing wrong with finding humour in the situation. I've seen people cheer and laugh over the deaths of others, and the only difference here is that they weren't his enemies OR allies. He didn't know them at all, and he's displaying his laughter to those who either did know some who died or are close to the place where the attack occured. And if you think he's such an attention whore, then ignore him becuase you're only adding fuel to the fire that you want to extinguish by bitching at or about him.

Um... I believe I just mentioned that I don't normally tell people that I think something like that is funny for that exact reason. I only do it when someone's pissed me off because I know it'll strike a nerve. I didn't find anything funny about the incident in London, and I didn't say that I did. And while he should be keeping it to himself, he already let it out... And like I said, by bitching about it, you're just adding fuel to the fire. So perhaps you should take your own advice and shut the fuck up, especially when you're talking out of your ass by saying things like "he has the mentality and sense of humor of a 3 year old." That doesn't even make any sense. Even if he was being stupid, which he certainly isn't doing, age is irrelavent so stop acting like it's not. That's the most retarded thing I've ever heard. Whenever someone's arguing, one person almost always says something about the other acting like a young child... It's unoriginal, it's lame, it's stupid, and it doesn't even make sense in most cases.

By the way, how exactly can I "half" do something? I have 3 choices. I can either do something, or I can choose to not do something... Or I can choose to do half of what I was supposed to do, however I still did what I did. Make some damn sense and quit talking like a retard.
 
Thank you Magus.

I'm not laughing at the incident by the way. I'm laughing at the joke. It's quite clever you see. Because normally a joke of this nature would go:
A guy gets onto/walks into _________
Punchline
"Boom Boom"

but here it takes the "Boom Boom" as the punchline, in light of the events because bombs go boom, get it lol?

I also don't find it particularly controversial to pass on a joke made up by someone else. In fact it's probably a joke that has been applied to various explosions, and just made to fit this one. I bet you wouldn't all be so upset if this went "an israeli walks on to a bus" though.
 
I would.

But then I'm a filthy ultra-liberal who thinks that ALL human life is precious. Oh and I also have at least a little tact and sensitivity. Sharing a joke like that with a group of people you know share your sense of humour is one thing, blurting it out on a public forum where people may have been affected is quite another.

[edit]
And by the way, it would have been much funnier if you'd just linked straight to the picture after the set up line.

[edit2]
I feel much better now that Magus has started to post shit again

I already explained that just because you are ignorant of a point of view doesn't mean it doesn't exist or that it will go away. Get over yourself. For the record, I wouldn't consider someone that is deeply offended by a two line joke to be "ultra-liberal".

I agree, but not everybody knows about Basil Brush or what he did.

"Two londoners get on a bus.
FOX"

Doesn't have the same effect.

I wouldn't say that all human life is precious, but rather that it all has equal worth. It's not really precious, but not really expendable, somewhere in the middle...eh? You feel better cuz I'm posting "shit" again? do you mean shit as in stuff you don't agree with, or shit as in just stuff, period?

I don't like what you say but I defend your right to say it. The same goes for believing it's ok to tell an insensetive joke to a group of people about a major attack just after it happened. My right to call you a fucking tactless insensitive asshole should also be defended.

I meant I don't care if you think I'm a "tactless insensitive asshole", because it's not going to stop me defending myself.

I don't think it's relevant when the attacks happened. If it will ever be funny, it's funny now. Frankly I found that joke funny, and I'm not going to apologise for it.

There's a little word called context. I'd like you to look it up and think for a minute.

It is surely contextually better while it is topical.

e.g. Boer War jokes aren't particularly funny now.
Oh hey I'm at your dads funeral, he died of aids. HEY LHC WANNA HEAR MY AIDS JOKE? WHY NOT?! IT'S TOPICAL!

No no he's here in my house :huh:

Yeah I get it.

The point is, while I would probably get offended if you said that joke to my face, there would be no problem with you laughing at my dad dying of AIDS to someone else. That's why AIDS jokes are funny.
 
Klown, you just don't get it, do you? If he's pissing you off, then STOP TALKING TO HIM! You're only making the situation worse.

And LHC, if he's gonna continue being an idiot, feel free to continue what you're doing right now... of course you'd probably do that anyway whether I told you to or not... Have fun.
