12-year-old tased by police officer

What you said on page one was extremely clear. It was a jackass personal attack.



Would you rather I have told a Michael Jackson joke?

Or...Here's a thought: You could not make jokes about child sex abuse. Whether you are trying to make fun of the pedophile or not, the point is that it is coming across as you thinking child sex abuse is funny. If you want to derail the thread about whether or not a child should be tased--whatever but, to take it to the level of thinking sexual abuse is a laughing matter then, I have a problem with that.

This makes me think of a friend of mine who is a nurse and makes jokes about people who are mentally handicapped. I would never send my family members to a professional who makes light of something so serious. The same could be said about an attorney who views child sex abuse as something to make light of on a chat forum. I sure hope you never work with victims of sexual abuse since it appears to be a laughing matter for you.

You know nothing about me. In fact, I do a rather large amount of pro bono representing victims of abuse in juvenile deprived court after being taken away from abusive parents by child welfare services, usually trying to terminate the parents' rights. It's a very serious matter. I suppose you've never told or laughed at an off-color joke in your life?

I wasn't trying to be tasteful, neither were DrPhil or cheerleader, who think it's okay to throw around words like racist without giving it a second thought.

So either you're sheltered and have no realistic idea as to how badly the criminal subset can behave when confronted with folks in positions of authority or you tend to side with criminals over law enforcement because you have some sort of problem with authority. Either way.

IRONY ALERT!!!

That much is obvious.

By the way, coward, stop pretending as though you attempted those sexual abuse jokes in response to Iota Man and me. By the way2, since you are delirious and therefore cannot read, stop fantasizing that I called you racist. That may be your life's dream but (as I have said tons of times on GC over the years) I do not call individuals racist. Iota Man called you racist and believes you are racist based on a previous thread.

Depends on the authority. Your post suggest that you also support this shit:

Dude was "breaking the law" and going against "authority".
http://youtu.be/ifCN7ezlDQg

They were "breaking the law" too.
http://youtu.be/o54n7HXwOhc

Dude "broke the law" by whistling at a white girl.
http://youtu.be/OMdSYxZqIXc

She "broke the law".
http://youtu.be/15p5HB-FpjI

It was the law then, so if you were around then since it's "breaking the law" and going "against authority", then you support that too. What your dumb, racist ass doesn't understand is times change, but people do not. It's the same shit, different day, you idiot.

Aha, the construction of law abiding behavior and authority. Well played.

I disagree with the bolded and underlined and your spelling of "KKKevin".

Huge fail. Epic.

No, Iota Man gave a general response to your failed assumption and your failed attempt at a general conclusion.

Huge success. Epic.

You apparently could not get over it but now you know your interpretation was overwhelmingly a figment of your imagination.

In contrast, what you said in that other thread was not a figment of our imagination, it was interpeted exactly how you intended, and it remains applicable.

Nope. Not even close. Kevin says things that I disagree with (along with things that I agree with) and is clueless about certain topics. That is not the crux of racism or the Ku Klux Klan.

As entertaining as this all is, I would like to know why Kevin seems to be cyber-"mad" at me. LOL. Tell 'em why ya "mad", Kevin.

Okay, first, sorry to lump you in with Iota. I'm still butthurt over page 1 of this thread. I took that as kind of an out-of-the-blue accusation that you believed I'm only fine with this because the alleged victim here is black. I still don't see any other reasonable way to interpret what was done there, but I'm over it.

For what it's worth, I've learned a lot over the years from you regarding racial issues. I just tend to (as you may have picked up) disagree with a lot of what you've said... and before you ask for specifics, I can't even think of anything specific at the moment.

Aside from that, I have no problems with you. Hatchet buried.

I feel you and it isn't, but I will have to agree to disagree with you here, because I'm just not feeling dude when he tells somebody to "get over" something that still is going on today. You and I just feel differently about his comments.

This is on par with saying, "I have friends who are black so, it's okay for me to make racist jokes." As far as it being an "off color" joke, I don't see how making a "joke" about children being sexually abused is supposed to be funny and no big deal. You tried to derail this thread by making a joke at the expense of abused kids. Way to go, pro bono attorney!

The joke about Joe Paterno looking the other way was also lacking taste. What is sad is that I generally agree with some of your views but, now I question your character.

What do you do for abused children? Seriously.. get a sense of humor. I don't care about taste, I do real things for real people. Thousands of dollars of billable hours each month go to abused children. Glad to see you're taking a stand by raging against jokes on the interwebs.

Be glad for everybody else on here who has an opinion about shit they want to post too.

Kevin, quit with this elitist jargon, boasting about the "favors" that you are doing for those who are suffering. You know good and well that this does not make sense. Defend your "joke" all you want but surely you can see the problems with your rationale. You better care about tact and for conveying respect for the "real people" you do "real things" for. You would most likely not make these jokes in front of those abused children and their caregivers. We can defend our racy humor all we want but there are reasons this humor does not work with every audience and tends to be reserved for particular audiences.

By the way, since your last sentence reminds me of earlier in this thread when you lost your mind and said things like "you're expecting thread on the interwebs to lead to new understandings of commonalities which could lead to greater understanding of...", people can call things out and address misconceptions wherever they deem necessary. Surely you can relate.

Wait, didn't you tell als463 she shouldn't make assumptions about you, saying "You know nothing about me"? If you don't want people to make assumptions about what you do or don't do, you might return the favor to them.

And don't act like you didn't know your joke was tasteless, or at least might be perceived that way. Why else would you have asked "too soon?"
