Okay, I've got a question.

There is a thread full of "Politcally Incorrect" jokes that proceed to mock and insult "faggots", "jews", Blacks, and several other races and religions, those of us that were incensed were told that we need to get over it because "It's just bleeping jokes guys.",

another thread was later started entitled "how come I am surrounded by so many f'ing BLEEPS...", and when it was later understood that 'f'ing BLEEPS' means f-ing faggots the thread was not in any way censored, moderated, or locked(which would probably be most appropriate), fortunately the majority of the posters managed to turn the thread into something a little more constructive and interesting...

anyway, my question is, how come when threads like these exist we are told to lighten up if we are offended, but when a thread comes by that OBVIOUSLY is joking about potential alternative uses for a bible the thread is locked after 11 posts because "making fun of one's faith isn't funny".

They're "just bleeping jokes" after all.

I dont know how the people involved think,
But I can tell you that most humans think differently,
and have their own opinion on what is 'allowed' and not.

Got it, thanks for clearing that up.

I guess Judaism isn't a faith.



sorry for sorta' inadvertantly potentially highjacking the thread, I was caught up in the moment.

The last storm we had, a neighbor said he saw lightning do some really really strange stuff, he explained that it didn't "strike" but rather appeared at the top of his hill and "rolled" down it breaking apart into several smaller balls when it hit a puddle, at which point the balls of light zipped up into the sky and vanished, never making more sound than a buzz.

Ball lightning??

(can't find a good page on it for link)


drugs??

aliens??

If I know it correctly, in the jungle there's a serious lack of proteines. Cannibals eat their enemies to get these proteines (as far as I know cannibalism by humans mostly only occurs in the jungle).
Scientists believe that cannibalism can cause the mad cow disease. A disease quite similar to this disease occured a few decennia ago in Papua-New Guinee.
The bio-industry is so wicked today, that they let cows eat cows (that is, grinded unusable remnants of cows).

There are many spiritual reasons behind cannibalism among humans too, often times it is believed that to eat a portion of another man is to "gain his power" so to speak.

Among animals, specifically cats, it is most common for a mother to eat her kitten if there is some notable defect with the kitten that the mother has identified.

Except that certain herbivores eat their own poo...

Many animals eat their own poo in order to restore beneficial gut flora that has been lost in the excrement.  It is also common for many baby lizards to eat the poo of their mothers in order to start said bacteria colonies in their own digestive tracts.

Regardless, I imagine that poo would taste like {bleep}!
