This thread is for discussion of where balance is found on the continuum of comedy.

Most of today's top comics are absolutely unafraid of offending people, they will joke about any topic under the sun.

It doesn't matter if some people don't like it. For some odd reason, people not liking it has very little effect on the success of these comics.

Why?

So this guy goes into the doctor's office and...no. That will offend sick people.

So George W Bush says that....no. Just never mind. mumbling

I think when a comic, can find where the line is drawn, cross it, and still be sucessful. I really believe that is true genius. I also believe, that it is beneficial to society.

I can't believe you said "marsh"!

You're so insensitive!

It's "dry soil challenged", or "drainage impaired" you lout!

Almost everybody loves humor. Almost all of us love to laugh. Alot of what makes comedy funny is the element of truth.

Where are the limits of tolerance?

Are there really subjects that are too serious to joke about?

Is it true it's okay to joke about Jesus, but Mohammad is off limits?

Or is the above only true on television?

Is the Muslim faith more serious than the Christian faith?

Or do Christians need to start more explosions to frighten people into submission?

Or is the submission only intended for television?

If Bill makes a joke, and Ted finds it offensive, then who's problem is that?

Is it Bill's problem, or Ted's problem?

Surely someone has an opinion on this.....

Probably my title offended anyone from reading furtherdunno

The laws being what they are today, it would be Bill's problem.

You might be right.

Bill needs to carefully monitor every single expression he makes, and be certain that the only thing he ever does is blow springtime fresh, rosey colored smoke up people's arses.

I didn't mean to put words in your mouth....

Could you please elaborate?

Did you mean that strictly from a legal perspective?

Yes, from a legal perspective. The problem is that the same laws may not apply to Ted.

The political correctness of this country is slowly destroying it.

I know that I oversimplified the question...

But I think that in general, whoever is offended is the one with the problem.

My emotions belong to me, I cannot hold anyone else responsible for them.

Exactly. Incidentally, I've had my balls busted a few times here for inappropriate humor, Diogenes. I guess I must be one of those beneficial guys...wine

The genius is to do it without getting you balls busted. I think I have about a 50/50 sucess rate. The benefit is that humor takes the edge off the seriousness, and opens the topic up more for discussion.
