Student to McCain: "Boxers? Or Briefs?" McCain: "Depends."

:woohoo:

[allalone]

1. oh, you're bad

[flvegan]

2. Mocking the aged

regardless of their vote...nice move.

I'm sure that this is funny to some.

Some idiots, that is.

[BurtWorm]

3. Sorry to offend you.

:hi:

[flvegan]

4. Let you know when it matters

or if/when I buy that.

Thanks for your concern. It's noted.

[BurtWorm]

5. Thanks for kicking the thread up too.

:eyes:

[flvegan]

6. No problem.

Exposure is good, both pro and con.

[BurtWorm]

7. So...

How 'bout those Pats, huh?

:bounce:

[wtmusic]

9. Funny, it seems only young self-righteous types get upset

about jokes like this.

How old are you?

[flvegan]

12. I'm 36.

You implying something?

I also get uppity when folks mock my gay brethren. Wanna ask my sexual orientation?

I also get pissed when folks take issue with gender. I'm male. Got a problem?

I also get really damn pissed when folks have racial issue. I'm white. Got something?

Call me self-righteous. I've been called worse in regards to not shitting on other people.

How "funny" is it now?

Didn't realize I needed to be older to be outraged by mistreatment and unkindness. I'm sure you have the answer, though, having called it out. Some things just aren't really "jokes" to some. Maybe they are to you. Maybe, just think, it's a good thing that "young self-righteous types" don't just fucking gloss over everything that another might find funny.

[BurtWorm]

13. Could you maybe try a different approach to interpersonal communication?

Try a little kindness toward your fellow DUers, maybe? Tone down the hostility a notch or two? Maybe? That's what's coming across as self-righteousness.

You want me to know your opinion about Dole/McCain jokes? Fine. Here's my opinion about your own communication: If your message is peace and love among your brethren and sistren, you need a different tone to get it across, I think. If you don't care if I get the message or not, I'll reciprocate.

16. An army of straw men

We're all gonna be old sometime.

When I'm so old, so incontinent, so fucking crusty, and so hung up that I can't laugh at a joke like this, put me in a box and bury me.

I don't wanna live.

[Snarkturian Clone]

17. Get over yourself NT

[walldude]

19. Yikes.. um.. it's just a joke... get it?

You claim to get uppity when people make jokes about minorities. Good for you. The difference here my friend is being old is not a minority. Some people will never be gay, some will never be white, some will never be male but everyone and I fucking mean everyone will get old. It's not a minority, it's life. Get over yourself.

[trueblue2007]

20. I think it is FUNNY!!

I'm female and 57!!!

I'm NOT a young self righteous type except I'm YOUNG in my heart.

[Dukkha]

21. I bet you're a blast at parties

with all that phony outrage and smug elitism
:eyes:

[Itchinjim]

22. 36? I'm surprised you've made it this far in life without a sense of humor.

Your problem is that you are a smug, self-righteous, priggish scold, and you should apologize to the OP.

[IronLionZion]

23. life of the party! WHOOOO! nt

[trueblue2007]

18. quit taking this joke SO seriously

get a life

[Fire Walk With Me]

8. Aw man...

Am I bad because I laughed out loud? Or just doomed to my own Depends experiences?

[BurtWorm]

10. Tonight we laugh.

Tomorrow we Depend.

[Swamp Rat]

11. McCain is insane in the membrane

[applegrove]

14. Good joke.

[L. Coyote]

15. Okay, who wants to chime in about laughing so hard, their Depends ...

Thanks, I'm going to use this one more than once.
