Do you believe anything and everything can and should be joked about if done right?

No matter how offensive, if something is said with the intent of making someone smile or laugh, is it ok?

    I admit to being rude and crude. I was a fan of Lenny Bruce and George Carlin. I never miss a Bill Maher show. Very few things, are "off limits". If we can't laugh at ourselves, we have pretty much failed as human beings.

    You mean like at a FUNERAL or FATAL ACCIDENT?

    Yes, especially at the Nudist Colony on a cold day.

    You have no boundaries, no common sense, on Yahoo. I can't imagine what you are like in person. You aren't humorous. You are "mental." An example? "What would you do if you woke up one day and went to eat a piece of jam but there was a 6 inch version of yourself swimming in your jam? If you try to pick them up they shriek, squirm, and slide out of your grip. They're just sitting there harmlessly singing your name followed by your social insurance number and date of birth. Also you're in a white room with no doors or windows but there's a radio that can play one song... gangnam style by psy."

    No. Certain subjects are too serious to try to joke about and not receive backlash.

    Holocaust, Race, Religion, sexism, GLBTQ, poor people, handicapped people

    A movie like "Blazing Saddles" could never be produced today.

    I have a pretty dark sense of humor, but even I have boundaries.
