Pam S. disgusted by her stupidity Pam I get the reference (it took me a minute, though)....and it IS just plain weird, isn't it?? I know you have a wonderfully irreverant sense of humor, and I also get that you wouldn't ever offend anybody on purpose. I remember when I got spanked but good just for using the word "lifestyle" in blessed ignorance that it might be an offensive word. Hell. I didn't know. Oops. Can I say "hell?" Maybe you offended some people, now you know. Kick yourself around for 2 seconds then forget about it. But keep your sense of humor. That's what keeps us sane. Sherry =============== I'm sorry. I got an email from a friend to warn me about this and sent one back saying I could handle it. And I did. Then I saw that email from Kyla to Susan about Grandma Shirley's death and lost it. That email was in as poor of taste or more as my stupid joke, but not one person said anything to her about it. Some of the very people who jumped on the politically correct bandwagon probably thought it was marvelous. I'll tell you, if Kyla sends something so disgusting to us when Rob is fighting his last battle, I'll do something violent. There you go. Here I was thinking you had been so terribly wronged, which you had, and you have to prove that your post wasn't so bad by attacking my friend, who sincerely means well. -- Will in New Haven "The welfare of the people has always been the alibi of tyrants, and it provides the further advantage of giving the servants of tyranny a good conscience" Albert Camus |

How do I always get dragged in this :-)
Ps also I am young than I lead on that I am but that is the age I feel;-) "hopitus" wrote in message ... I'm sorry.

For what its worth Matt and I were posting re the largest age group, 50&60+ women, parading around their block naked - no thought of Muslims at all in my head. Someone who got on the PC bandwagon, as you call it, in the heat of passion, posted their "edict" i.e. "if you post this, you will __________ (fill in the horror bestowed) ". I feel embarrassed for my peers who post empty threats and edicts. Unfortunately MaryL thought I meant her and got confused as my next non-plonk (oh, for a plonk) was all about the cheery "feel-better" "death greeting" you mention. I was about to blow my top over it but that is not "family" behavior here and if insensitive, clueless "compelled" (LOL, yeah, right - finger pushes "send" long before brain engages, if ever) repeated the "death greeting" again today, just in case we (or Susan, God forbid) missed it - I bailed and have been in the hacker ngs I favor. Those people are insulting also but they are not stupid...but they *are* smart. Thank you for your take on the "death greeting". Hope MaryL understands what I was about and it wasn't Muslims, LOL. |

Pam S. disgusted by her stupidity Pam take it from a person that has been in almost everyone kill file at least a couple times. People are going to say what they want how they want and when they want even if they put their foot in their mouth and still won't shut up about it. If some was offended by that Well IMO they can just deal with it . I am a straight shooter and tell it how it is. I won't hold back I will call a spade a spade. I did promise the group I would be nice and keep the peace but sometimes you just need to tell people get over it and move on. You did not mean anything out of it and if someone read this well that is that person problem and sounds like they need to get thicker skin. I don't know how many fat jokes or native American jokes that I have heard over the years. The fat jokes happen every day even on TV, the movies are the worse and EVERYONE OF YOU are guilty of it for you know you laugh. I know I do Native American jokes? Since Joel is 1/4 Native American, any chance you can share some (via e-mail?) - as you can imagine, they don't tend to get alot of mileage here in Australia. Yowie |

Pam S. disgusted by her stupidity Pam, you're made of tougher stuff than this which makes me wonder if you're simply down right now and could use a hug so {{{Pam}}}. So you'll never make your living as a comedian, you're a hell of a storyteller and we all love you. I have not read the entire letter you mentioned nor the child incest messages (I only read one or two of the messages on that thread today after someone made mention of it). I rarely read OT messages unless they are from long-time contributors and I always read everything you post so I caught this one. I'm sorry if anything I posted hurt your feelings. I care too much for you to ever want to do that. Please forgive me. Julie |

Pam S. disgusted by her stupidity Pam, I didn't post a reply to it, but I thought it was funny. I've seen the same joke on a couple of mailing lists as well. If we can't joke about current affairs, then "they" have won, whoever "they" are. There's a big difference between posting a mild joke and posting hateful stuff. I can laugh at jokes like that without hating muslims. Just like I can laugh at Paddy jokes that make fun of the Irish without hating those that tell them (I'm of Irish descent). I must admit I didn't read the replies that people did post. If anyone got offended by your post, then my advice to them would be "it's a joke, get over it". Dan |

Air Force One: No frequent flyer miles One of my favorite Mexican jokes Pedro: Pedro was driving down the street in a sweat because he had an important meeting and couldn't find a parking place. Looking up toward heaven, he said "Lord, take pity on me. If you find me a parking place I will go to Mass every Sunday for the rest of my life and give up tequila." Miraculously, a parking place appeared. Pedro looked up again and said, "Never mind. I found one." |
