Oh dear. I've managed to offend 2 total strangers in one night on FB, and I've only been on for 10 minutes! :cool:
Responded to a mate commenting on a recent occasion where I accidentally sat on my rape alarm and set it off, where I said "that's the nearest I've come to getting any". Where her friend (unknown to me) launches into a diatribe about how rape does not equal getting any and do I not understand the feminist betrayal of what I'm saying, etc. etc.
Secondly, I made a joke (with someone known to this parish) about him coming from the Australian hills in light of this week's incest news. To be followed by a PM from someone entirely different saying that they found my joke incredibly distasteful and could I remove it please (er, that'll be a "no" then).
It ain't big or clever, but neither is my sense of humour and trust me, that's toned down compared to what I would have posted a few years back. Also saw someone having a strop and a half because their ex-husband's mate jokingly - and very lightheartedly - slagged off her cooking, going on to rant for paragraphs and paragraphs about what a bastard he was and making a complete tit of herself in the meantime.
Anyone else encountering a complete and utter sense of humour failure lately on social media? Get a bloody life people and take the rod out of your arse. Or better still, ignore and take me out of your news feed if it offends ya that much. Sheesh!

I found that I was getting irritated by reading about the minutiae and the drama of people's lives every day so I stopped using the place.
I don't miss it either.
I keep in contact with my closest friends in all the ways that we did before FB.
That place can take over your life if you let it.
AhHAHAHAHAHAHAHAaaaaaaaaaaaaa..............:D:D:D
Oh dear me...bahahahahahaaaaaaaa
*breath*
Dear God in Heaven....lmfao
Have you been on the pinot grigio young lady?
Ha, for once in December I'm actually sober. I'm like Frankie Boyle on t'interslice when I'm sober, and calmer when I'm drunked.
One one hand it's incredibly distasteful. On the other hand it isn't so bad. And on the third hand...
So you usually spend all December drunk or just the past 11 days?
I don't think I've managed to be offended by anything I've seen or read in my 35 years.
So youre right, someone will always take offence to something
When I read that even I sounded drunk
On the third hand it was about me so I think the defence of "Fair Comment" comes into play here
Erm......
FFS my brother is deaf and we tell him to thank his lucky stars he's never heard the Spice Girls sing. By that logic she must get offended when she overhears people tell each other they look beautiful because "what would a blind person think? "
Stuporous funkers.
It's life people no one gets out alive
Ms Grigio I salute your sense of humour
Careful mind they'll probably hang themselves if you carry on
Trouble is far too many knuckle draggers have discovered with the internet that because they can publish their thoughts on all things, to the waiting world, they have the right to police the internet as they see fit.
We on DS are not knuckle draggers, of course.:D
You do that, dear.
I posted a Max Clifford joke when he got arrested, and that upset someone, because poor man hasn't been found guilty yet. This was the joke:
I asked members of the angry mob who had gathered outside Max Clifford's house, burning effigies and screaming "Scum", whether they were overreacting to unproven child abuse allegations."What child abuse allegations?" they asked.
See, I thought that was funny. And doesn't say anything about him being guilty, just highlights the fact he's a twerp.
Post a joke about how rape is never funny, unless you're raping a clown. You'll offend them more, plus any clowns or would-be clowns on your list.
