1) I don't understand why you'd post this
2) WTF!??!?! PLSS IS REALLY IN A WHEEL CHAIR?!??!
Because Derek is drawing a line and he should be applauded, whether I'm in a chair or not. If you said you were Asian would I make yellow face-panhead jokes ? No I wouldn't for obvious reasons. If u were a vet with no legs would i call you Bob, or 1 legged ilean ? Simply no. It's childish, immature and simply un-American. Pull your head out your pucker..
Cockus just had no comback. He'd just result to Crip jokes. No different than a racist joke. It's bigoted and not tolerable in today's society. Imagine a vet just home from Iraq with blown-off legs. Is that me? No but one just never knows. Could be anybody. You think jokes would be funny and appropriate? Show some respect . Common sense goes a long way. I know a vet on this boredom who lurks. Just uncool. He's not crippled but his friend and platoon mate is.
If you can't be funny without personal attacks on those with injuries, bigoted jokes about others with different skin colors or those who suffer with harsh realities, then don't reply.
I don't dislike Cockus, I just like to thrash him in joking fashion. When I heard of his dad I was the first to say I'm sorry and to wish his dad well.. I understand where to draw the line. I could have shredded him and his dad like some of you did (whooooshed by cocker or not) but I drew the proverbial line. Not because the first amendment gives me the right, but because I know the 1st amendment has unwritten rules of decorum. Just have fun, beat the shit out of fellow members but
be cool like the fonz when appropriate.
