Gee... you think with the screen name and deliberate typos that this poster
is remotely serious about his observation that we shouldn't tell "goth
jokes"...? Word to the wise, Dumbo: unless you're just stirring to be
stirring, keep the irony to a minimum. Most people's browsers don't
support Sarcasm Sans Serif.

A joke is usually just that: A joke. That a person tells a sexist joke does
not necessarily make them sexist. It is often the case that the fact that a
joke can be considered offensive is what makes it funny. One laughs at the
fact that such ridiculous claims and views can be, and are, held.
Affectionate ribbing is commonplace amongst friends and just because I call
my mate a fucking bastard does not mean that I think that they are a
gratuitously copulating illigitimate child, nor does it mean that I think
that there is anything wrong with gratuitous copulation or illigitimacy.
These jokes mean that we can see the funny side of a view, belief or thing.
Why else do you think that a comedian/enne can get away with what could be
termed 'inciting religious hatred' when uttered seriously?
If you truly beleive that the jokes made here are offensive then either try
twisting your world view just a little to accomodate or understand, since
you have joined after all, or make a more helpful contribution in saying
so, rather than just stating how you feel. I would be delighted to espouse
more of my views on humour within the context of a lively debate on the
subject, or even an argument so welcome to shmeng and try to change some
minds. ____________________ Eritis sicut Deus scientes bonum et malum.

something severely wrong. ____________________ Anata ga sabishii toki, bokumo sabishii n da yo |

and on another note Gothic_Beauty even though, yes, that persons post was
useless... i believe at your ranking of two posts you wouldn't know much
about the structure of what we here find useless and non. Though feel free
to make an ass of yourself like a few new members have... I find it quite
entertaining to my shitty day =D ____________________ Anata ga sabishii toki, bokumo sabishii n da yo |

Well, the trolls seem to be taking a break so the noobs are filling in the
blanks. Tends to happen that way.

I may be paraphrasing, but I believe there is a saying of:
“If you can’t laugh at your self, then how can you truly laugh at
anything.” –Somewhere/ Someone
Seemingly others have failed to point out to back up your claim of
goth-ness with goth test results. However, maybe we’re actually poking fun
at the Goths of barbarian Germanic tribes whom would later conquer and
settle most of Europe after the fall of the Roman Empire. I mean jokes like
“I’m so Goth I’m dead.” Are technically accurate, given that the Gothic era
died out with the rise of the Catholicism. ( yes, I know this summary may
be grossly inaccurate but just go along with the joke)
All hail Bettie, for she has mused a new clothing label…Geeez, I can see it
now; army boots with cute rounded ghost skulls on them all about the
streets of Tokyo.

I seriously hope that this was someones idea of a joke... and who uses the
word reckon ? I know some pretty redneck people that don't even use that.
Uggg... I can feel my I.Q. dropping. Anybody have some I can borrow ?
P.S. Bettie, where can I get spooky boots ? ____________________ Chasity - the most unnatural of all sexual perversions... |

I use the word "reckon" quite a bit in my day-to-day speech... as well as
"ken" and "conjure". Good to know your stand on the issue, though.
And, yes, I think the original post was a joke as I mentioned when it first
appeared. ____________________ "I believe that woman is planning to shoot me again." |

Maybe it sounds too much like "rectum" and since he has one, maybe he was
offended. |
