Well yeah a person can speak out against whatever they choose but can their opinion really hold much weight if they laugh about the same subject matter coming from other sources?

Naw if you find it unfunny and it crosses the line then sure it's fine to speak on it.
But if the other person finds it funny then that's fine too.
It's all about personal taste

So it's basically what jones is saying then...nothing is off limits as long as its funny to you the individual. it's all fair game that can't really be judged without making yourself look like a hypocrite. So the response should just be not to laugh but also not speaking out against it?

theres a difference between a story teller telling a story in which something is funny, and people making jokes about something that you know is offensive to get laughs.

I hear what you're saying, lb.
I do agree that it's dangerous when jokes become misconstrued as facts.

I personally don't clown anyone in that way,
But if the person is giving it right back then I don't cape.
I actually think that's insulting to the person.
Like when you said you would dance for him out of pity or something.
IMO that was the most insulting thing said in the whole thread

i think some of the most ignorant statements believed by the masses were first made in jest and repeated as fact.
