Everyday, a person dies, over thousands are having sex and others are taking a dump or taking a trip to the golden gate.

And well, you are, sitting here reading this.

Okay, getting serious now.

I've had multiple pets and loved ones die on me and I'm not really offended by death jokes.

Currently suspended Metallo, if joking about death is really as scrutinized as you claim it is

Then
Why
Is it
All over
The media?

How am I supposed to know that? I'm 11, I spend my time during Family Life closing my eyes, and holding my ears, cause I'd rather not see a diagram of genetalia.....

When I was 11, I didn't even know what a period was. I just BARELY knew what a vagina was. Be thankful for what you do know.

Metallo, it's just disrespectful to joke about death. It offended me, and it could offend many more. You are right that death happens every day, but it's just something you shouldn't joke about. Death is not a joking matter, it's serious. I hope you know how many people get offended by these jokes: many, several, a lot. Especially since I just lost someone very close to me.
And then you said that said person I lost was happy because they wouldn't see me. Well, she was my neighbor. We were close. We've known each other for a long time. It's going to be hard for me, because I've known her for a very long time. And for you to joke about death breaks my heart. But you don't even care, do you? You don't care if you hurt someone, do you? You just make offensive jokes all day, without caring about the feelings of others.

(I'm sorry, I just had to get this out.)

Most of darkSpyro is convinced that you are a troll. If that is untrue, I sincerely apologize.

If it IS true, I regret nothing.

And you're the spokesperson for "most of darkspyro"?

As Wild pretty much summed up, there is a time and a place for everything, as well as a method.

For example, I joke about things related to me dying quite often. Some people are OK with it. One person who I was once really close to, hated it when I mentioned myself and death in the same sentence, at all.

Jokes related to anyone else dying are ones I tend to avoid, though.

Joking about the concept of death is not taboo in the slightest, though.

Quote: Metallo

Sex is natural; it happens EVERYDAY. There is probably someone in your city having sex right now. It's everywhere, and every living thing does it in some way, shape or form. And that's why it's acceptable to joke about sex.

We joke about using the bathroom.

Using the bathroom is a natural process that our bodies do to get rid of wastes. It also happens EVERYDAY, and every living thing gets rid of waste in some way, shape or form. And that's why it's acceptable to make bathroom jokes.

You know what else is natural and happens everyday?

Death. Everything dies. There is absolutely nothing we can do about it, it's going to happen to all of us at some point.

SO WHY IN THE HOLY MOTHER OF SEINFELD IS IT NOT ACCEPTABLE TO JOKE ABOUT DEATH?!

Because at any point of time, somewhere, sometime...someone is being offended. I call it the "state of the offended".

People need to get over themselves.

Metallo, I hope you NEVER return to darkSpyro. This, and the other topic, has made me furious! Of course it isn't acceptable to joke about death! Someone very, very close to me has a lung tumour and he may not live long, god forbid. Also, think how this makes suicidal people feel. They'll feel even more unwanted. Sex jokes are funny to immature children in the school playground or at the back of the library. You're an arsehole, Metallo, and it'll be good for you and the rest of the world if you grew up and learned when you're going too far.

We joke about your suspension too.

metallos sexual revolution

because sex and takin a dump is the same thing as dying

Well, I'm not. That's your job.

Not quite. I admit sometimes I do pose some rather...controversial...material, but if I was really TRYING to troll, it'd be much worse than this. Much, much worse.

And the fact that you are trying to push this on me only reassures me further of your trollocity.

It was a joke Metallo. You should know, you make them every day. Besides, the real troll is Big Green.

fine i will be taking that avatar back you ungrateful frick

Let's joke about Metallo, 'cos let's face it, he is a joke.

I see. I guess I'll go do that.

Go beat him up! :(

Quote: Samius

I see there was a reason for all the disdain.

Indeed, people aren't too fond off people talking about them dying or being raped by a horse. ;^.^

True. Lemme just say that this joke
"Why did the chicken cross the road?"
That's a death joke

A man is dating three women and wants to decide which to marry. He decides to give them a test. He gives each woman a present of $5000 and watches to see what she does with the money.
The first does a total make-over. She goes to a fancy beauty salon, gets her hair done, new make up and buys several new outfits and dresses up very nicely for the man. She tells him that she has done this to be more attractive for him because she loves him so much. The man was impressed.
The second goes shopping to buy the man gifts. She gets him a new set of golf clubs, some new gizmos for his computer, and some expensive clothes. As she presents these gifts, she tells him that she has spent all the money on him because she loves him so much. Again, the man is impressed.
The third invests the money in the stock market. She earns several times the $5000. She gives him back his $5000 and reinvests the remainder in a joint account. She tells him that she wants to save for their future because she loves him so much. Obviously, the man was impressed.
The man thought for a long time about what each woman had done with the money, and then he married the one with the largest breasts.

The more you know.

Quote: Wild

It is acceptable to joke about death, as it is acceptable to joke about sex, and as it is acceptable to joke about bathroom stuff, for this all depends on your audience, judgment, and timing. You are being far too general when you say "death", because I see and hear jokes everyday related to "death" that are widely acceptable to plenty of audiences.

"Offensive jokes", I know, are not always ill-intentioned, for humour is often used as a method of dealing with things, and making light of situations, even if they would offend. People love joking about survival and things related to it because on many cases, we are able to joke about these things nowadays because we are nowhere near struggling to survive on most cases, but death? Death is inevitable and not many people make light of it easily, and so the audience is not nearly as wide as other things relating to survival.

In the end, maybe you're just hanging out with the absolutely wrong people. Go clone yourself, or something.

I swear, if somebody had went "hey, no, no joke about death" whenever I said something like "dies" or "im dead", I would have plucked out my eyebrows, and worse, by now.
