Beliefnet has something for almost everyone, because it's ecumenical!

2. Sorry, got upset and responded in the wrong place.

[Tobin S.]

3. I'm pretty sure it was posted in jest

As an example of the kind of bigotry that mentally ill people have to deal with.

6. Well, each person has to read it and take from it their own reaction.

We still have a long way to go on the path to universal respect

Happy New Year elocs.

9. Who could say? Certainly not me.

Using the mentally ill as the object of jokes seems to be ok among the ecumenical.

12. Isn't this Festivus, isn't this for the Airing of Grievances?

I mean it sure has looked that way in GD for more than a week.

4. Complete with a "sorry, but"!

Meh.

ETA: Also, not even original. It's been making the rounds for awhile.

5. Isn't this ugly thing at least three years old?

Wasn't it a right-wing email awhile ago?

[HereSince1628]

7. In one form or another I think it's been floating around the ether for over 10 years

[HereSince1628]

14. I think you mean Festivus and

it's great to see you are into the spirit of "Airing your Grievances", too!

13. Their humor isn't very funny. It's just douchey.

This was probably written by one of those people that thinks they're hilarious (because they told themselves they are), but in reality their humor consists of going around and insulting everybody.

15. I like beliefnet, and I like even dark humor, and I think people should lighten up.

Jesus Christ.

Happy Christmas...

19. Let me explain something about mental illness to you, elocs, my friend.

First.

Don't assume that people you respond to aren't victims themselves...

[font size=10]OK?[/font size]

So, please to get off your high horse and tell us what is and isn't acceptable because if we all listen to everybody's concern this would be one boring place where nobody would visit.

Happy Christmas.

18. Happy New Year Elocs...
