It's about time there was some kind of "anti-death-joke idiot" movement. How do they like being on the back foot for a change?

My theory is that the mobile networks pay people to do it because it encourages people to send the texts on, which is therefore encouraging people to spend money.

Honestly Shtove? You going along with something that is the opposite of social moral decay? Is that actually possible? You'd have to step down as chairman for your first move.

This thread has too much moral outrage when their is little need for it. Grow a thicker skin and move on.

I think we can all agree that jokes like the one posted are in extremely bad taste, and show a lack of humour on whoever made it up. Fine if you want to joke about it in a year or so, but at least show the man some respect now.

Agree Laceta but there is still one option
If somebody likes to post a black humor ideas here do we have rights to stop this poster
Very controversial thing right?

in the start of this topic I agreed your post to stop joking about someone's death
there will be people who will like to joke about my dead closest relatives and If I catch him or her :SHABLON_padonak_03: :SHABLON_padonak_03: :SHABLON_padonak_03: :SHABLON_padonak_03: :lol:
but still, being strict against somebody's posts I don't think will stop poster
otherwise I agree you undoubtedly

Well, I think we can all agree there will always be assholes who don't give a **** about other people's feelings or the hurt they cause.
Sadly.

Uuuuh, I think you lot are talking about me - but only Iversen has called me on it.
Must get back to the TV - the national state broadcaster of the UK is spending twenty four hours on the highly significant death of a poverty stricken drug addict.

Not sure I'd call it a good day Or one that deserves congratulations.
To be honest shtove, since I doubt you made that image, I'm extrapolating to assholes in general, and one asshole in particular. So while I think your joke was in bad taste, it's possible you just employ very odd humour to let your point come across. It just served as a stepping board forme to ponder a bit.

Glad you agree that there's some really poor form around from people, Laetca. I also have pondered it a bit and I realise something. These "people" seem to realise quite clearly that they may cause a reaction with their comments, but make them anyway. Seeing that they are annoying people seems to actually push them to post this kind of thing even more, because they like to know that they've caused people to feel bad.
The usual security blanket which gives them license to offend even more is that they tend to see it has having the right to. Freedom of expression is often used as a tool to knowingly cause others discomfort. Then there's the things that they can say about those who stand up to them, "Grow a thick skin", "Get over it", "It's not like this affected you personally"etc. The obvious intellectual defence is make it seem as though we are the problem, even though we didn't initiate the behaviour.
The most common of all defences (and the most sickening) is the dehumanisation of the subject, most commonly pointing out the errors made in their life as if to deny any good acts at all. In so doing, they attempt to achieve the aim of "justification". This justification is usually backed up by other like-minded individuals and then enables the next layer of security by providing themselves the defence of a receptive audience.
The intent doesn't seem to be to explore their right to expression, as the people who take part in this kind of behaviour rarely display something original in composition. The intent is to greedily indulge in the fullest extent of their liberties and in doing so make sure that they've denied others an enjoyable experience.
The awareness seems to certainly be there that the birth of a new life and the death of an older one are perhaps the most seriously important moments in any indiviudals existence, but their own liberties are always placed in front of this.
This behaviour is largely taken past it's logical extreme in one forum more than any other, the internet. Thats the final security blanket.
My own perspective (having lived a less than fully righteous life myself) is that I'm not a religious person, but a certain phrase seems apt, "Judge not lest ye be judged yourself". Which to me certainly seems to endorse and acknowledge the way in which "karma" or "luck" seems to intervene in our lives. We nearly all experience it. Do something wrong and then later on something goes wrong for you. It seems to balance out and is fair in nearly every way. Except one. Sometimes it seems to not come back on some people regularly, but comes back later on in much larger concentrations. Like a lump sum if you will.
Good luck, Shtove.
