Suspenders, a tin of laughing gas, a noose and a blow-up 6yr old imo.
Is that also when the American's say, 'Way to go!'

Guys, humour is natural when we deal with death and tragedy. I have had this conversation tonight and been called "small minded" for making jokes about death. I think the truly small minded are those that can not accept that people have different ways of dealing with things, and that not everyone shares the same emotional attachment to the death of someone they do not know.
Reports now coming in that Jackson died from food poisoning, from 12year old nuts
I'm sorry to say Michael Jackson has had to cancel all of his upcoming dates...
They were: Chris aged 11, Thomas aged 9, Philip aged 12....
because he liked to.... small kids... yeah... i demand a better joke/punchline!!
Apparently the reports of Jacko dying of a cardiac arrest are false. He's in the childrens ward having a stroke.
Sure, coping is different from malicious jokes RIGHT after a death.
There's a time and place.
If it's true, it's a real shame.
And you are the one to decide when that time is and what that place is? There is no set rules in this kind of situation so you can't make claims like 'this is wrong' because it is a matter of personal preference. If you don't like the jokes you don't have to read them.
I can't make a personal statement that i think soething is wrong, because it's a personal preference if it's wrong?
While we may disagree on many things, i agree on this.
Any person, ANY person, making fun of the recently deceased, is in the wrong.
It's disrespecting, it's wrong and it sure as hel ain't funny.
Ok sorry to clarify; what I was getting at really was your wording.
In this you were telling people what is wrong and what isn't funny. It makes it seem as though you are trying to tell us what we are and are not allowed to say. If you had put 'I think that...' then I would have no problem.
No toht, there is no "time limit" a joke is a joke, if you see malicious intent then so be it. I think you should be very careful telling people they are being this that and the other though, you are making huge assumptions about people posting jokes.
