I am so god damned friggin sick of this asshole saying his sense of humor
is not activated by this joke.  He has been whining and moaning and bitching
on net.jokes ever since the original joke was posted, as everyone ignored
him I guess he decided to move it to this group.  Just because you don't
like a joke and/or find it offensive, doesn't mean it shouldn't be posted
where others may like it.  He says he isn't into censorship, but he also
says these types of jokes should be censored.  I don't like pro-christian
articles, why don't we keep them off the net?  Chuq doesn't like light
bulb jokes, lets keep them off the net also.  Being a somewhat tolerant
sort of soul, if I find a posting offensive to me I don't read any of it's
followups.  If a person posts enough offensive articles, I don't read
anything he wrote.  I DO NOT post shit all over the place advocating
censorship.

He says jokes are fine, but please keep offensive postings off the net.  I
find his sort of postings to be the most offensive of all, because if he
gets his way he will be deciding for me what is offensive and what I will
and will not like.  No thank you, I prefer making such decisions myself.
