Guys....
            I
Mean    I    Jokes
            I

Stay on the right side (yes, I know I've crossed it before, doesn't justify you doing it, and I am not talking about anyone specifically, its just we abuse Taysby quite a bit)
But internet
In my mind, they blur together. If it doesn't offend someone it isn't funny.

There's a difference between making a joke at someone's expense (which I do a lot) and just being mean. Mean x= funny
Not at someones expence nessecarily. Mean is not always funny, but in my mind true funny cannot exist without mean.

People need to develop thicker skin. Man when I was in the Marines, every joke is mean and at the expense of others. Haha, but yeah, they're always the funniest.

Anecdote:

I tried growing a mustache at MOS school and while we were in formation, the school's 1STSGT comes up to me and goes, "what the .love. are you doing with that high speed dick duster on your lip?"

Judging by your pic, your head no look like it would fit in a jar. 😞

Then you have problems...

Hilarious, and not mean in any aspect.

And there is a definitive line between just being mean with a slight sense of irony and joking.
Nonsense. If it truly funny someone has to take offense. Bo Burnham's song about God? I'm sure some Christians get offended a lot about it. His song about Hitler? Some Jews get offended.

TBH, you sound like the school bully.  Being mean just because it's "funny", and that is not ok.
No, I'm saying that not all mean is funny, nor is mean against a single person always funny, as i have already said.. But, in my opinion, real funny things have to be offensive to some group. How does that make me a bully?

Truth. The Office wisely said that no discussion will convert people's thinking, only further entrench them in their own beliefs.

Distriimuir

So no discussion on the discussion board? Why even have it then? This section is way too pc lol.

No discussion about things that are off topic... If you want to talk about it start your own thread. It's kinda turned into people being dickish to taysby.. I get that a joke here and there is fine, but this whole thing has been blasting him.

Sorry. Im not good at knowing when I've crossed a line.

You can poke fun at anyone, but when there are like 6 people involved in making fun of you, then it's no longer enjoyable for that person, even if they have a good sense of humor, (which Taysby does.)
