    LOL. The politically correct police are on your ass tonight!

    I cannot believe the seriousness of these replies. What is it the kids say? “Touch grass”?

      It is amazing how so many people cannot simply joke around. Politics so consume their lives every single thing in life is viewed only in that context. And not only cannot they not simply joke around they are on a mission to impose their views on anyone who disagrees with them. What a sad way to go through life. Social media in general is all a joke. And this group specifically is all about just getting a laugh.

        Impose their views on people who disagree with them? Damn that’s crazy, people want others to treat people with respect and not be bigoted? How political

          Of course “bigoted” is in the eyes of the beholder. And those judging have no real idea if a person joking around is actually a bigot.

            Of course it’s in the eyes of the beholder, like anything is, but from the reaction of others, it seems like most people in this thread agree with me or have a similar viewpoint, so I think it’s worth considering why people had that impression. If it’s not your views coming out or your intention, fix what was pointed out and there’s that.


            they are on a mission to impose their views on anyone who disagrees with them. What a sad way to go through life.

            Nevertheless, I don’t know about you but this doesn’t look like a joke, nor does your initial comment, as it seems you’re taking what you said quite seriously, I don’t see why you’d say that if you weren’t.

            But anyways, bigoted jokes are just that: bigoted. Not that great of a defence. Nobody has a problem against “joking around”, it’s more about what your comment was full of.
