Now now dan, i asked for proof from just one person that your "joke" was funny.

You pointed out that two people clicked like on the post.

Are you going to sit here with a straight face, and claim that this constitutes proof?

Yes, you idiot. If two people meet condition X then, by mathematical definition, one person meets condition X.

You nether said nor meant that only one person found it funny. Such intent would not make sense with the point you were so desperately trying to make. Nor is it humorous or poignant to pretend that was your intent.

Finally, you are still avoiding the heart of the issue which is why you or anyone else should be an authority on what is acceptable and unacceptable humor. Your position is very Orwellian.

Take a deep breath, Dan.

You shouldn't get so worked up when someone opines that your jokes aren't funny.

Because i've read your attempts at humor before, and you suck at humor.

Get some thicker skin. One person saying your joke sucked shouldn't trigger a million word meltdown.

the first step, is opening yourself to the possibility that you suck at humor. The next step is going back to the drawing board and getting some better material

When i click like on a post, that means i liked the post. It could also mean that i found it funny. However, just because i liked it, does not necessarily mean that i found it funny

Fuck, for a smart guy, you sure are dense.

You know your joke is funny when you have to spend an hour explaining it

Another childish straw man argument. Just because I'm calling you on your bullshit and making a fool of you does not mean I'm worked up. You are making that accusation because you lack the intelligence or the wit to respond to my actual arguments. It's childish and transparent.

Oh, and the reason I'm calling you on your bullshit is because it's not just you whose advocating Orwellian political correctness. As the various videos shown above demonstrate, this is a wide spread phenomenon and one worth opposing. You really need to start reading your opponents posts before responding to them.

Dan8267 says

But that's not the real issue, is it? This argument isn't about that joke, which is just one of billions of jokes floating around on the Internet. Nor is this argument about you or me or what's funny. We're not that important. No. This argument is really about whether or not humor must be suppressed. The philosophy you are advocating, whether you admit it or not, is that there is some criteria that some people -- clearly not all people, but some -- decide on that justifies crushing a form of free speech and belittling those who participate in or listen to such speech. And quite frankly, that's a very Orwellian view.

Reading, it really does help with making counterarguments.

Dan, this is a free speech forum. Say whatever you'd like, and try as hard as you may, i promise you won't offend me.

Simple question.

Is it possible for a joke to not be funny

Correction

Who was Seth Rich

He was an unfortunate soul who caught a glimpse of IHLary tossing babys to the Dworkin Golem, so the Clintonfucks had him snuffed out

Where is the media on this and the jihadi dad ? Barely a few mentions, meanwhile trump's gaffed gets center stage attention on all the cable shows. DEmented , soulless freaks.

The MediaFUCKS!! are in complete collusion with the CORRUPT CLINTONS in a bid to CORONATE the KKKUeen of Terror!

What are you talking about? A guy got murdered in Washington DC. It got the usual amount of attention.

Conspiracy theories don't typically get a lot of mainstream media coverage because they are almost universally wrong and easily disproven.

Well, yes, conspiracy theories do get a lot of mainstream media coverage when it suits the MSM ideology...

The fact that you would call this a "conspiracy theory" just shows how far down the wacko road you are:

"Hillary wants to abolish, essentially abolish the Second Amendment. By the way, and if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks.

"But the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don't know."

There is only one way to interpret that quote. I thought Trumpeteers were all about common sense. Well, use some of that common sense on that quote.

wikileaks is now offering a 20k reward for info leading to the arrest of the murderer of DNC staffer.

Oh and the extensive coverage on the nYT about Trump's treatment on women-where all the vicitms featured came out in support of Trump-I mean come on. Then the mass coverage of Trump posing his publicist or some such 20+ years ago. Meanwhile an iranian scientist gets executed, allegedly due to Hilalry's email and nobody cares.

I thought the joke was mildly funny. The reason it wasn't very funny is that it was kind of obvious. The outrage over this joke of all things on patnet is funnier than the original joke.
As far as the op is concerned, assange didn't say he was a whistle blower did he? He said a variety of sources are concerned when that kind of thing happens.

Come on--Trump courts publicity. It cuts both ways---he gets lots of press and it helps his campaign, but bad press also comes with the territory. MSM is a business--they write what gets read. Iranian scientists aren't as interesting to most of the public as Trump's sexual harassment victims. Right or wrong-that's the way it is.

I liked the joke.

Stop being sniveling bitches.

I'd like to know more about the murder, rather than read over this weak thread-slap-fest. I remember more exciting fights in Hebrew school.

So far, we've had 2 attempts to kill trump, left activist murder of 10 cops, and now this poor hero of a kid is killed after he released DNC emails?

How can we look at our current political environment and suggest the left are the good guys?

I take it back Dan, some other people share your lame sense of humor

Joke was funny

EDIT:

I just watched the video... JA does not say SR was a source. reserve judgement

Bullshit! When I heard him say it, I didn't hear a joke, at all. I only thought he meant that, gun owners, as a large group of people, could provide a large voting block if they worked together. You are out of your mind and determined to see a predetermined meaning in everything Trump says. That's your problem, not his.

"Maybe there is? I don't know?" He's not sure if people can vote?

Ironman says

No, there's two. The ones with common sense and DON'T take statements out of context, and people like YOU and YESYNOT and the MSM who suffer from MAJOR Trump Derangement Syndrome

OK, please put it in context then for us. Let's see how the context changes the interpretation.

Here, I'll help you out CIC. This gives the context, right?

Completely agree.

Dan8267 says

At this point you are demonstrating the same kind of refusal to listen to reality that conservatives often display in their bubble.

Did you mean :....that conservatives display all the time? lol

Ironman says

Here's "context" for you Tatty. I'll post this here too. It's 31 seconds, TWICE as long as your "context".

Great--so which is it then? A casual joke or a call for gun owners to vote?

Sociopathic KILLARY is praised to the heavens by an adoring legion of MEDIAFUCKS while Trump's every utterance and fart is meticulously analyzed for a way to take it out of context. Just like a fucking woman to take everything you say in the worst sort of way possible!
MEDIAFUCKS!

Democrats are a party of entitled brats, gays, lesbians, sexually confused (whatever the term they use these days), feminists and communists like Dan.

Dan, this is a free speech forum.

That's a straw man. It is a sign of a weak position for you to imply that I am in any way opposing free speech on PatNet.

And I promise to not give a rat's ass if I do offend you.

Bill Maher said it best. It happens mostly on the right because they have a much larger batshit crazy base, but the left is also guilty of it.

An important topic, with 80 comments, of which maybe more than half were off-topic. Good call to end that spergy discussion.

Ow, jazz. You really misunderstood VERY badly what I was saying. Hint: IT WAS NOT ABOUT YOU.

tatupu70 says

ranian scientists aren't as interesting to most of the public as Trump's sexual harassment victims.

Except all his victims came out in defense of him . Hilalry's victim has been executed.

lostand confused says

I'm not saying he's guilty, just that the sexual harassment scandal is much more interesting to the general public.

But, the Iranian scientist thing has been thoroughly debunked.

tatupu70 says

Only by the LameStreamMedia and their propaganda machine. Those with tin foil hats on know the truth. Add one to the HRC body count.

Sure, gunned down from behind in broad daylight with his wallet, phone, and watch on his body. Sounds like a typical robbery.

How many people listen to right wing AM talk radio?

My Sirius politics channel are often hard to stomach, but most of them are lefty shops. Its pretty much nonstop "trump is so bad. Hahaha, we are so smart to know this! Vote against Trump in '16"

I know it's hard to keep the conspiracy theories straight, but I'm pretty sure the Iranian scientist wasn't shot in DC.

So many possibilities:

1. Hillary had Rich killed to prevent him from leaking even worse things. Rich was not smart enough to create and let them know he had created a "dead man's letter".
2. Gang initiation. They have to just kill someone at random to get into the gang so that the gang has something on them.
3. Actual robbery gone bad. Robber noticed someone and fled before taking wallet.
4. Trump killed Rich to make the DNC look bad.
5. Putin had Rich killed to make the DNC look bad as an unasked favor to Trump.
6. Assange is just making up random shit because he doesn't like Hillary.

I think #1 is the most likely. The Vince Foster "suicide" never sounded quite believable to me.
