Help me understand politically incorrect people.

Okay, then you were trying to be an ******* and succeeded. It doesn't matter that you were ironically parodying a non-existent person who really believed in the things that you falsely claimed to believe.

"Hey Hitler, why did you go and murder six million Jews?"
"I was ironically making a point that if some other person murdered six million Jews then it would be a bad thing."

No, obviously you are not as bad as Hitler. Yes, you are just as dumb as my fictitious ironic Hitler.

Maybe you just need to stop being so PC and whiny.

Yes, clearly I am the worst person in this thread, as opposed to the guy who is bragging about "ironically" making retarded veteran jokes

[giblets]

What if some jerk/asshole said that it's true that veterans really are dumb, because they served in a war, that was really just for defense contractor corporations to make money?

That jerk could plausibly claim then, that their politically incorrect statement has some truth to "veterans are dumb."

Gee, maybe they're poor and figured joining the army and eventually getting a college scholarship was better than working at McDonalds?

If you want to troll conservatives maybe you should just make fun of religion... since at least 99.9% of the world's religions are made up bull****.

Exactly. Politically incorrect statements/jokes are often based on ignorance, whatever the topic/issue is.

A lesson I've learnt, relearnt and will learn again is that if I voice an opinion or tell a joke, there's a good chance someone will be offended. More and more I just keep silent.

You shouldn't call politically incorrect people "politically incorrect people" because that is offensive.

[loinburger]

You are racist against my racism, which makes you the real racist!

I'm offended by your implication that you're offended with this.

[Egbert]

Can someone explain to me why politically incorrect people would be offended by my politically incorrect jokes? Does it have anything to do with hypocrisy and double standards? Or is there some other explanation?

Presumably for the same reason "politically correct" people are offended by things like bigotry.

Everyone has beliefs, many people are offended when there views are challenged.

An abortionist may be genuinely offended by the suggestion that abortion is morally wrong.
An anti-abortionist may be genuinely offended by the suggestion that it is morally wrong to allow abortion.
They disagree completely in their views on abortion.

[giblets]

I think you made a typo, which offends me.

Don Rickles to me is the best example. Almost every joke he makes is politically incorrect. But I have always found him hilarious. I don't consider him offensive at all. He makes fun of EVERYONE equally, even himself. People pay extra money or get to his shows early so they can be in the front row and more likely to get picked on during the show.

But there are people that consider him offensive or if they told some of the jokes he did, people would respond very negatively.
Sometimes people should just lighten up and laugh along.

But granted, you could always tell that he wasn't being hateful. He was always able to carry it off. But he isn't as popular anymore because of this.

This thread delivered. It's always fun to see inept trolls try to pass themselves off as social justice warriors.

He's also old as dirt.

Isn't that normal for people with Alzheimers - they remember the oldies best
