# i would say its the difference between making fun of a dead person
and a dying one. If theyre dead it seems to be less nasty because the act has occured. If theyre dying or missing then people just come across as being a cunt. Because noone wants anyone to die or be hurt. But once theyre dead then nothing can happen to undo the deadness

# problem with this is it's schroedinger
until she's found no-one knows if she's alive or dead, which makes it even worse than jokes about someone actually dying (e.g. litvenenko) plus she's a 3/4 yr old who's not actually done anything to bring this abuse upon herself

# well yes, worse than someone dying in a coma is obviously
some kid missing. at which point i think people should be hoping/praying (if thats what they do) that shes found safe and alive. not making crude jokes at her expense. It just seems there has to be a limit on the cynicism and irony of the posts on this board. Where you have to decide if youre a decent person holding on hope for a girls safe return or youre a shit making fun of her. And just because this board has no limits and people could post pics making fun of the situation doesnt necessarily mean that they should.

# theres obviously a huuuuuuuuuuuge difference between a generic joke
made 4 years ago about no one in particular while also satirising the media and making a specific joke about a girl who is currently missing. But i would have thought that was rather obvious

# but when you start drawing lines
saying when things are funny and things aren't, that's when you're discriminating against certain people, the best way to not be rascist, sexist or anything, is just to offend everyone :)

# but offending for the sake of offending

# i can pretty much guarentee that noone in this country finds this situation funny
This is such a small community of like minded people where taste isnt a problem. So people post the most offensive things to people who support it and congratulate them. But they forget that outside this community 99% of people would be horrified at people making fun of this girl.

And this isnt the seventies. Roy chubby browns method of "offending everyone" is about as popular as smallpox. Racist,homophobic jokes just arent funny anymore. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news
