Walk past or engage?

[Tank]

Superb plan

I'll try it next time they come calling, but I might emphasise the word "Screeves" in a higher-pitch voice and say "Sceyereeeeves!!" while waving my hand to indicate that it is already creeping up behind them.

I almost want a visit now 

[Sweetdeath]

I always come up with what to say after the fact.   I went to the burger joint today to buy french fries.  A fat black woman was waiting beside me in line.  Suddenly she turned to say to me how great it is Jesus spared the Eastern U.S coast from a great earthquake.  I didn't know what to say. I just blinked at her.


Argh, i'm so unclever.  I'll take suggestions though.

I would have said " I know, right? I mean not like those heathen Japanese!" All in hillbilly accent

Me too.  We have a sign on our door to discourage proselytizers.  Last time I had one knock on the door was years ago.  I couldn't come up with anything clever to say because they woke me from a sound sleep - at the time I worked nights.  One good thing came from that, however.  They took me off their list for that area.

You're all right, all you'd have to do is send your other half to the door and get him to smile at them!

I live with Jehovah Witnesses. So I guess they don't knock on each other's door.

I think that maybe engaging is the most efficient way of getting rid of unwanted door to door salesmen JWs, Mormons or any other person with religious intentions. When all the 'beware of dog' signs you place between your family and them aren't enough, they leave you little choice. Bring out the bible and give them hell

I know you say this in Jest, but many of my friends in Japan were directly affected by the tsunami, so.....i'm no... I don't joke about such a serious matter.

I guess we will just joke about someone's religion then. No.

[Sweetdeath]

What the crap does religion have to do with making light of a tsunami that freakin killed thousands?

I have friends who's whole  towns were leveled.  So excuse me if I don't find humor in your statement above.

My point is that one person's personal values are not everyones. It's ok to make fun of ABC but don't you dare make fun of D because it hits too close to home. That's the point. People make fun of other's personal issues as long as it doesn't affect their personal issues.

I'm an equal opportunist joker. Have I told you any of my dead baby jokes yet?

You seem to be ok with making fun of things that do not personally affect you. AS DO I

[Sweetdeath]

What have I made fun of that affects or offended you?  If someone told me I offended them, I would actually stop and think.

Last time I checked, I haven't made fun of you or your Satanism, or whichever.


But knowing people in Japan who lost everything pisses me off.
Even though I don't personally know anyone in chile, haiti or new orleans, "poking fun" at victims of a terribly natural disaster is sick.

Somebody or something is almost always the butt of a joke. Almost all jokes will offend somebody, on that basis should all humor be banned?

You are of course supporting the Muslim view of the Danish cartoons about Mohamed that because they find those cartoons offensive they should be banned.

I won't make fun of the disaster in Japan. I do not wish to get you upset.

Though alot of stuff you post offends the shit out of me. But tis a free world and I got my big girl pants pulled way up high. So no worries.
