Walt >I posted it. > Gwen [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >> >> Adelle That is really surprising. It was really offensive humor. And it didn't even have the redeeming feature of being sly, intelligent or charming to make the offensiveness tolerable. Not sure what to say. It reminded me of the caricature stuff about 'Japs' and the red threat. Certainly propaganda, with the only aim to puff us up while dehumanizing the enemy. Sadly, modern terrorists look just like us - on purpose. They are taught to blend in - to eat and drink the same things as their neighbors. To be totally hidden until they act. They are often science majors; they can build bombs, infiltrate computer networks. They are not camel jockeys whose wives smell like livestock. And - there are many of us who are not inclined to become terrorists simply because our religions include neither Jesus nor Christmas.

Ya see Gwen,,,,, you really can not win posting this kind of humor. Right off the bat,,, all the no war at any cost people get offended that you want them to laugh at their personal pain involved in this subject. Right off the bat,,,,, the people that think your joke is involved in discrimination against a people get offended... The people that have lost family or friends may not be able to laugh at anything yet and may not be able to for quite awhile. You have people that any kind of post that seems to support the present government Causes them pain and they are going complain about the joke. All kinds of thought about your character just because you posted a joke you thought was funny,,,, can be laid at your doorstep. These small minded people do not know you like many of us do that have read your posts over the years and know better. I say small minded because they can take one post and say things that are clearly not correct when you look at the person as a whole. In a newsgroup about support,,,,,, it is just best not to post things about politics, the war, the people in the war or anything like that because people who already have problems and pain do not come here to read that kind of stuff. It adds to their pain and that is not support. Harv Ps love ya anyway...... Thanks Harv! Gwen > > Everyone seems to be wondering why Muslim terrorists are so quick to > >>> >> commit suicide.

You missed the simple detail that the content posted is clearly going to be hugely offensive to a great many people, and even if posted in "innocence", (?), should, at least in ethical terms, receive "robust comment". To avoid such comment is to lend tacit approval to it. If the poster is indeed innocent of intent to offend, then a simple statement that they did not intend to offend should suffice, and those who would make more of it could be seen as demanding their own followups. Whatever, it was in bad taste on each of it's recyclings. > In a newsgroup about support,,,,,, it is just best > not to post things about politics, the war, the people in > the war or anything like that because people who already > have problems and pain do not come here to read that kind > of stuff. It adds to their pain and that is not support. Now that makes sense.
