Well, do you understand the difference between: 1) joking around, and 2) verbally assaulting people under the guise of a joke?GumbyCT wrote: Why do you feel that everyone except Gumby can joke around? [referring to ButtUgly joke]
Joking IDEALLY makes people laugh, including the recipient or subject of that joke. Therefore, joking is ideally a gift we decide to bestow on other people. We want to make ourselves and others feel good by joking and laughing. But verbally assaulting people under the guise of a joke is not at all a gift we are bestowing on others. Rather that kind of joke is delivered as an insult with the intent of demeaning that person. The term "ButtUgly" is not a kind thing to say to anyone under ANY circumstances----unless that person agrees to and expects that kind of humor because they too find it fun...
Find peace inside your heart and among those around you, Gumby. Take good care of yourself... I mean that!
