What Do You Think About This Joke..
43 Answers
I think my mind has been affected by the nanny state - jokes I would usually find funny and harmless are making me think whether I can laugh any more at a minority group. made me feel uncomfortable - like I cant chose what I think any more.
What do you feel when you read it.

Its just that I read it alone and my mind didnt need the presence of a stutterer to make me think - hold on - is it ok to laugh here?

When I put a joke on here I do not intentionally mean to upset someone.
With jokes you'll either laugh or you don't we don't all have the same sense of humour.
I admit I laughed at the joke and at no time did I think " that could upset a person that stammers" but then that's just me.
I put a joke on a couple of months ago to which 2 people were offended so now I watch what I put on ....as I said what seems funny to me others might find it not funny ...where does it end!

I think thats my point chilldoubt - I suddenly found myself thinking - is it ok to find this funny. Normally I wouldnt have thought that - it would either have been funny or not and i would have moved on.
It isnt really about that particular joke or even jokes - I feel there are certain topics that I cant freely express what I think anymore.
