"This is a free country" Exactly right. Others have the right to voice their views; I penned my opinion even though I was pretty certain it will be to your dislike. "If everyone expressed their distaste for a joke they didn't like, that didn't meet their taste, or which offended their value system, we'd have more posts like yours then we'd have rerun jokes." This is one lame excuse to defend your position. People tend to think many things are funny as long as they are not at the receiving end. Granted that we cannot please everyone but keep in mind that in most (many?) cases the issues in questions are defended by only "a few". We can joke just about anything but to laugh at someone's death is sick. Care to disagree that an overwhelming majority think that one ought not to joke about death especially ones that happened just a few days ago?
