What the hell do you consider funny then? Oh forget it, you'll probably say something like "I have a good life with good friends, I don't need to have lots of humor." But just remember this, sonny, all good crude humorists or whatever should know that if they're willing to dish it out, they better be able to take it. I make fun of people behind their backs all the time, and I expect something bad in return. But if they can't see me for what I am to them, an asshole, then they're wasting their breathe. Assholes such as oanst and myself don't give two ****s whether or not you're offended. The person should be mature enough to just shrug off our disgusting form of humor. You live miles upon miles away and will probably never encounter us in real life. What the hell do we care what you think?
You're a man.

Aww,
come on. You're either being more than slightly disingenuous here, or just plain stoopid. I would hope you recognise rudeness when you see it, that not everything is game for a laugh - not some absolute 'I'm an asshole, it's what I do: deal' bollocks.
Besides, of course you'd be bothered whether or not someone is offended by something outrageous being said. Can you imagine if you got no reaction at all?! By god, you'd be so disappointed without your moment of validation.
Anyway, I'm mainly playing devil's advocate here, because someone may actually have a legitimate point here and I don't want to see them simply being shouted down simply because they aren't hip enough to be in your crowd.
If you were so completely secure in your asshole-ness (I probably had that stage when I was 13), then why attack someone so profusely who's doing simply what you ask for? The person who's answering back, who decided not to take people's crap. Just like you asked for. Or was it not the right
kind of rebuttal?
Now, here's the rub: either your statement above is actually some vaguely post-modernist, ironic comment on your disability to empathise OR you actually believe that contradictory nonsense.
Disingenuous or stoopid. Which? Which!
EDIT: Because I don't think this is clear from all of the above, just to say I really have no problem with the sort of humour Zozo takes umbrage with, and in fact the people who would perhaps be seen to be the main perpetrators are actually my favourite members on here. Including Used. But the aggression shown isn't justified or helpful, it just makes me cringe. I'm fine with the piss-taking, I'd probably be doing the same if EVERYONE wasn't so dismissive of the point, but to actually try to debunk an argument which isn't all that unreasonable with such a zealous streak is, for me, just ridiculous. Especially as it's the sort of thing some young idiot would come along and punch the air and say 'right on!' to.
And once again: I love Used, I want his babies, but I think he's way off base here.
