I know you were joking with both... Somewhere there is a line between good and bad taste, which I acknowledge is subjective. For me the first joke was fine - it is similar to others I've seen and a fun way of poking fun at the polar end of that particular debate. Most jokes are characterizations of an extreme view which is why they are funny, and we all need to be able to laugh at ourselves sometimes. I've also seen you poke fun at ultra conservatives (rarely, but I've seen it).
But the line probably gets crossed with jokes about taking advantage of slave labor of children. I realize your joking but if you step back and read it in print from the view not of your own eyes but of others it sounds really, really bad. --- In [email protected], "justifiedright" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > That post I made this morning was a joke.
