Wedding Etiquette Forum

:: Fishy::

Okay, your staying true to form here on giving me stuff to chew on.Something you said a while ago was, you think making a joke is okay if it was intended to be funny, even if it comes with a hint of controversy. so then you say this:Here's the deal. I respect republicans, as long as they are well informed and know why they vote this way. I also say that about Democrats, though. Informed decisons are respectable in my book.I understand that Fox News has a right to report on whatever they like. Just like every other news station.But I don't get or respect likening the president of the united states to a bridezilla. That's an emotional response, not a very well thought out or educated stance, and it's no way to start a political debate.I know you also say later that you think a controversy was bound to happen.Don't you think the rule applies here. I mean I didn't read the whole thing but from what I saw she posted and ran. If she had stayed and presented a logical case, then what would your stance be? Sorry this is so long but I am still mulling over the funny controversy comment you made the other day. I have yet to form an opinion on this, and here we have what seems to me an example of it maybe. so I want your take. AAAAANNNDD go.

  • Shiit, I dont even remember what I say from day to day, so I'm suprised anyone does. And I don't even know what you're asking, but if youre asking about jokes...Ummm...I'd say, there's a difference between a joke and disrepsecting/insulting people, is maybe where I think I'm going with this.If I say that Alix reminds me of a heifer because she's so fat and she should go eat another cheeseburger, that's just mean and not at all funny. (I picked Alix because she's a toothpick)If, in jest, because Alix and I are friends in a number of arenas and she said, Fishy your shoe taste sucks, and I call her a heifer, that's funny because she gets me and she knows I'm kidding.If I started a thread on a board with a great number of republicans with the statement directed at aboslutely no one in particular that said "George Bush reminds me of a second grader only dumber and whiny-er who else sees it?" That's not funny. It's just stupid. And I would come off as an idiot.I would have started that thread (if I were her, but I wouldn't because I'm an Obama supporter) with something like "Hey, what are your thoughts about Obama's recent actions? I think he's acting immaturely."OOORRR, I would have paged a fellow Republican and made a joke...but one that was actually funny. Or like...because I know heels and sarah and we're buddies and shiit, I make some jokes about libertarians to them, and it's funny. If I was a complete stranger and didn't know them and started a post with "Libertarians remind me of Hannah Montana because they want teh best of both worlds and they are big whiny babies" that just wouldn't be ok.

  • BUT far be it for me to think I'm the fuucking joke police. Maybe someone thought what she said was funny, I took it as trying to insult people and instigate a fight. That to me is not funny.

  • Fish, I think your breakdown of proper joke etiquette is fab.  Let's make it sticky.   OR do you have a flow chart for that?
