My mother is deeply, spiritually offended by abortion, so we should abolish it, right?

I'm not saying we don't have the right. I'm saying that as grown ups we shouldn't throw a temper tantrum every time something offends you.

I'm pretty well rested. Still in bed, in fact. Could you pray to your Invisible Leather Daddy in the Sky to send me another pillow, though, my back could really use the support.

That's so stupid. Being offended by things that cause us no actual harm should not be the reason we boycott things. Yes, you have the right to try to stifle anything you don't like, but 9 times out of 10 you're going to fail because Free Speech is our First Amendment.

That is an article about stereotyping women. I understand that a joke could feed on those stereotypes, but often the point of a 'rape joke' is to play off them, often satirically.

Not all generalizations are wrong. Resenting generalizations is, in fact, a generalization.

Well, apparently my last reply got deleted, so I'll try this again minus the 'language':

No, I'm equating making a joke about racism with making a joke about rape. In some cases, the joke falls flat or it isn't actually funny, but in other cases the joke can be hilarious (Sarah Silverman slays with rape jokes). I'm saying that if the only problem you have with a rape joke is that it offends you, that…

People say this all the time as if this is just established fact, but where's the evidence that this is true?

The Tosh example is kind of bullshit, because there's never been any confirmation that he ever said that. The one friend of the woman who was there claimed it happened, but both Tosh and the comedy venue owner denied it. But, of course, the internet in it's "collective outrage" machine just decided it must have…

This won't be a popular opinion, but:

Thank god you got it, huh? I mean, that's a real lucky break. There have been billions and billions of people born that didn't have the discernment that you were given, and those poor bastards went to hell. But not you.

There are also millions of "experiences" that are in contradiction to yours. Muslims swear by their personal experiences of the supernatural, and Mormons, and Scientologists (whatever you want to call that). And just as you dismiss theirs, we dismiss yours.

Uh, apparently you've never met any Fundamentalist Christians. To them, It sure as hell matters that it "happened."

Though, on the other hand, if someone made Song of Songs into a movie, they could only play it in very select theaters.

Where's a rimshot when you need one.

Like saying it happened?

Yeah, the bad puns are our job.

Snare drum?

Simple Jack?
