from being a mod. This pains me but I can't handle the fact that there are so many people that don't understand what a joke is vs what an attack or bullying is. I feel honestly that with that much of a struggle to identify that simple thing, the mods and admins are going to be at odds forever moving forward. My two bits that I want to say was said perfectly by Kuro "you can make a joke with out attacking someone." Very simple concept that seems to be forgotten if a smiley face is attached to…

the work. Even though at a first glance the poem is exceptionally bleak, parts of this poem are jolly and at times sarcastic. The mixing of levity and grimness in his poem highlights certain topics that he is trying to bring attention to. He uses jokes and playfulness to show how society as a whole…

Many people in this world today have trouble getting over the past. In the story "The Cask of the Amontillado", by Edgar Allen Poe, Montressor has a problem with Fortunato. Through the story, Montressor tricks Fortunato into following him to the catacombs. After they arrive Fortunato is chained to a wall and buried alive by Montressor. The fact that Fortunato is normally drunk, easy to trick, and is a jokester, makes him an easy target for Monressor. Based on what happened it is easy to see…

Response to Stephen king’s “Why We Crave Horror Movies” While reading there the paper by Stephen king, I was a little disturbed, there were some jokes that were over bored. However, I do agree with Stephen king statement “we’re all mentally ill”. I believe that everyone has a certain level of mental illness, some more then others. Normally you will see this in kids but adults also have this mentally ill in side them too. Hiding it can be challenging but some pull it off. Stephen king…

Looking at the day two events, the joke “I am stuck with her” was not necessarily intimidating. The preceptor might have wanted to be friendly with the student by making some jokes. According to Brooks and Bitterly (2017), jokes in the workplace can help the worker to be more productive. In another hand, the preceptor should have been more careful when making a joke with the students…

chosen to leave it out is that this determiner is not very important in TT and does not affect the meaning of the instance. In addition, the joke ends with the idiomatic expression “she's not easy”. The phrase refers to a someone who is easily seduced and sexually promiscuous. The humorous effect of the joke arises from a parody of Snow White as a woman of easy virtue who lives with seven other men but still is hard to get.

throwing around racist slurs and jokes like meaningless table talk. Stereotypes exist in the real world as well. How often do we assume that if we are in a “ghetto” neighborhood that there will be African-Americans and they will behave violently? That is a ridiculous assumption. We see a Hispanic person and assume he or she is an illegal immigrant. I find this just as outrageous. Adding to this issue, there are racist jokes. Some people have this mindset that if you tell a joke about…

This show focused on sexual references and jokes, more than it did friendly humor to make the audience laugh. Even when the jokes were shameful, they were kind of humorous and made the show enjoyable to watch. This shows that today this behavior is found funny and is practiced by teens, too. This is shown by noticing that most of the jokes were sexual, even though there were some that were indeed not sexual.
