Re: FLORIDA COURT SETS ATHEIST HOLY DAY
This joke was sent to me by email. I thought about putting in the "joke" thread, but then I thought it would be too obvious.
Please everyone, don't attack each other over it. Maybe I didn't think before posting it. Goodness knows it would not be the first time. |
Re: FLORIDA COURT SETS ATHEIST HOLY DAY
Probably does belong over in the jokes thread. Per Snopes, it's untrue.
That said, I agree with FSA that Carrotdude's comments crossed a line, or at least came close to it. FSA was, IMHO, very polite in his response and made sure not to cross a second line. Wellard blew us over a third line with hurricane-force winds ;) That line between humor and offense can be razor-thin, sometimes... so let me feebly push back over with an old one: A priest, a rabbi, and a lawyer walk into a bar. Ouch! Hmmm... I don't think that's gotten any better with age. |

I'm very dissapointed and suprised in you claiming carrotdude was over the line Bung, you of all people. maybe you can point out in his post where he differed from the joke? If I make a remark about Canadians being idiots would it be so wrong for Variol to call Australians idiots in return? But then have some shit stirrer come in and say it was offensive for Variol to call Australians idiots? ...there is no absoloutley no difference is there. We have the benefit of knowing Variol over many years and know that he is not a nasty or vindictive person, so we don't read anything wrong in his joke post, I certainly did not. Carrot dude may or may not know Variol as well which may or may not have influenced his reply but I see nothing in his reply that was not already in the joke. |
Re: FLORIDA COURT SETS ATHEIST HOLY DAY
Thanks Wellard,
I think the mistake was mine by not putting a little comment, or smiley in there to make it obvious. Or better yet, post in the joke thread. I'm sure nothing would have happened, had I placed it there. I think carrotedude's comment was a bit harsh and perhaps unnecessary, since it's really a mute comment. Of course, even atheist and non-believer is going think that. I will say though, that I have never, ever found a non-believer who has asked to work on a religious holiday, because they don't believe in it. They all seem to enjoy the day off, just the same. ..and sometimes I think we are idiots; up here freezing to death!! ( is there a freezing smiley someone can add in here?) |

You, on the other hand, did cross the line by resorting to personal insults and profanity. Responses like that are what led to the moratorium in the first place.</font> |

It's all goo, Variol! I took it for what it is. |
Re: FLORIDA COURT SETS ATHEIST HOLY DAY
Did no one notice Carrotdude's ":P" in the title of his comment?
Personally I found both the joke and the remark amusing. *disappears back into lurking* |
