How about this for funny.
Sometiomes things are funny. Personally, I dont like “nigger” jokes, or jokes about molesting babies, etc.
This does not mean that I dont find the idea of torching a brand new ferrari in front of my local dole office funny.
I think that the IDEA is funny, but I wouldnt be impressed with actually DOING IT.
and Hamadryad, a lot of people care what you think. me included.
Ah, got it now… 
Shucks, I’m glad you think I’m the caring sort.
Er, stofsky? Theres just one leeeeeetle problem. You said:
Conversely, get it through your head that not everyone draws the line in the same place you do.
I must say that apparently the OP and I think alike in many, many ways.
But I completely disagree with the OP.
Look, stofsky, this is an open forum. Feel free to say what want (I’m famous among my friends for my collection of jokes in poor taste and my generally twisted sense of humor–Showgirls is one of my favorite movies, for godssakes!), but be prepared to have to (gasp! what a burden!) ignore the humorless gits who pop into a thread merely to toss a wet blanket. By telling them to keep it to themselves you’re guilty of exactly the same intolerance that they’re accusing you of.
In other words–I’m not advocating more tolerance and warmer tea on all sides; I’m saying you must allow for mutual intolerance. The posts you quoted in your OP were all written by people who just don’t get it. Don’t rail against them; ignore them.
And by telling others to not say certain things, they’re guilty of the same…see my point? Actually, you’re making my point. But it’s the PC Cops who come in and accuse first.
Yadda frickin’ yadda, round and round and round.
You didn’t really just say, Wull, they started it," did you?
Get down in the jello and fight it out with them, or ignore them. Your choice.

No, I guess in a roundabout way, I was saying “yadda fricking yadda, round and round and round.” It’s a vicious circle–someone trampling on someone else’s free speech.
Awwww, fuck it. It was a pit rant. Hell yes, they started it, telling people “you can’t say this, you can’t say that.” Fuck a rolling donut and get a life. It’s ironic to me that the same liberals (I’m damn near socialist myself) who beat the equality drum are the same ones who are tearing away the first amendment. And Andros, the line’s easy to tell–a joke’s a joke and getting in someone’s face and saying “fag” is something different. One I might laugh at, if it’s innocent enough, and the other I’ll be right in middle of. Educated, sensitive, realistic adults can tell the difference, when we don’t have our respective underwear in a knot.
Stofsky, my child, rise above the fray.
The world is full of humorless gits: so has it always been, so shall it ever be. The First Amendment is in no danger from PC whiners.
Though they are (obviously) a threat to your sanity, they are not a threat to your freedom. They are like unto a very cloud of gnats, whining about your ears, causing you to flail about and hit yourself in the head, even with your own hands. And lo, though you are scratched and bleeding, the whining abateth not.
Taketh a pill, and devise a mean joke about PC whiners.
