He's a good man! I think I'll just start another thread so I don't hijack this one, but......
I'll admit that maybe I'm too careful and too sensitive. But I'd much rather make the mistake on the side of sensitivity than insensitivity. Why risk offending? What could possibly be funny about a man slapping a lady in the face? I can't possibly understand that.
I saw some people here on the forum making fun and laughing at the "special short bus." Well that dug a little deep for me for specific reasons that are very close to me. And it indicates the way that we, as a society, are dismissive of people with special needs, and for me, there's no greater offense than to laugh at something that we, as WHOLE people, should be caring for with all our heart.
I remember as a child that I would joke with my sister about people that were mentally handicapped. I didn't know any better. I have sorrowfully and tearfully begged God for forgiveness many times and it's honestly been hard for me to shake. I'm choking up as I type this.
I just think we should think long and hard before we laugh AT someone. For, "inasmuch as you have done it unto the least of these, my brethren, you have done it unto Me."
The thread you are referencing is titled, "Ferd, A Little Humor For You". I am aware that you are familiar with Ferd's sense of humor. With that being the case, one wonders why you would open the thread?
You COULD have chosen to ignore it, you made that choice knowing Ferd's humor and more than likely knowing what type of joke you would find there? It does make one pause and wonder if maybe you were looking for something to be offended by, in order to start another verbal sparring?
It is because your friend has taken it upon himslef to be the arbitor of what is funny and what is wrong with Ferd (and others)
I never like bullies. generally speaking they never have liked me either.
