Jokes about the people who died is offensive.
Jokes about bonfire: not very offensive.
It's a common thing to make jokes about those terrible things that we don't know how to emotionally deal with.
Jokes about starving Ethiopians. Helen Keller jokes. On and on.
I just hope you Aggies realize, that SOME of your jokes, are just as offensive as jokes about dead bodies in the bonfire rubble, to Mormons.
I apologize for repeating a bonfire joke. But I did it to make a point. That some things are offensive, and it is even more offensive when people tell you to shut up and stop being a ninny.
Are we in agreement?
