root said:that's the point... where do we draw the line?
sexism, racism and homophobia is out of bounds?
why? I've heard plenty of racist sexist homophobic jokes that I've found hilarious...
can I make jokes about terrorism, 9/11, people dying etc? you might find it funny, but that might be because these things don't happen to you. I have enough responsibility to not make these jokes.
the point is this...
and I'll try to make this as clear as possible...
1, yes, I agree that things can seem a little up tight around here, but there is a good reason for that.
if you make sexist, racist or gay jokes DJ-CHRIS is going to be offended, (he's already written that).
if you talk about taking away american rights, (specifically right to bear arms) Seti is going to be offended.
if you mock the american way of life, Jon. will be offended.
if you fill your posts with cuss words Brookfield will be offended.
if you get posts about drugs Nate will be offended (he's not on his own on this, I have recieved PM's about my views on drugs displayed here before from others that were offended).
nobody should have to feel offended by what they see here.
2, This shouldn't be about the mods clearing up after your mistakes, this should be ablout personal responsibility, IMO if you're responsible enough to be allowed onto the internet then you should be responsible enough to know that the internet is accessible by lots of different people, and you should have the personal responsibility to be adult enough not to offend them...
Ladies and gents of CF, lets grow up and start taking some responsibility for what we post.
It's not the jokes that really harm. Their are boundary lines for everything.
I've found tons of gay jokes, race jokes, and sex jokes funny. It mainly depends on the tone, as quite a few people here these issues would not be a joke, they'd have radical right wing views such as "women should be forced to stay home and look after their children", "being gay is a choice" and "black people are all criminals". These are extreme and would not be considered a joke.
As long as I don't think people something in a harmful hating way, I don't really get offended at jokes.
