Thats a retarded analogy, since why would any one of us have any reason to show them a TA thread?

I make cancer jokes, it helps me deal with it.

Humor is great with getting through tough shit like this. Yes some people take it too far but usually the jokes can be down right hilarious.
After reading this thread I sent it to a friends boyfriend who has Parkinson's and he laughed like a champ.

i was just presenting a hypothetical situation to make them think about whether or not they are being honest with themselves about making fun of people with parkinson's that's all.

So is that it then? We've got this all figured out here:

Jamie thinks people who find this funny are cunts or dickheads.

Everyone else (other than Stan) seems to find this (or similar situations) at least somewhat funny.

Therefore, everyone except for Jamie and Stan are cunts or dickheads.

I'm all for finally putting this one to rest and have no problem with which camp I've fallen into.

well i think if it's someone u are really close with and u know how they are then yea...joke away because you are right...humor is definitely a good remedy for situations like that. but i just found it odd to start a thread and be like, "lol parkinson's disease" that's just me though.

Originally posted by Slylee i seriously doubt any of you would laugh like u did if your mother or father or someone you love had it and struggled with it every day. that's all i'm sayin... it's just tacky humor imo...like "going too far" type of humor. but whatever right? lol
