Ok, I was trying to hold back... But you're really acting like a tard and have just pissed me off. My response about him having the frame of reference and emotional maturity of a 15yr old had nothing to do with the "war effort" or being off topic, and I'm sure everyone understood that. It had everything to do with the fact that the 15yr olds are the ones who often can't understand appropriateness yet, and love perpetuating jeffrey dahmer jokes or the others he sent. People should be able to talk about whatever they want... But part of being an adult is learning appropriateness. The fact that we are bombing afghanistan is NOT funny. It's probably necessary, but it is still very sad. The fact that you and the person who posted the original joke list don't understand this says more about your mindset than I ever could. -- Michael Bryan Bell http://homepage.mac.com/michael_bell/ -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
