Not being a Nazi or Israeli or Kyoukan def of American...but
I am only going to rant about this once, then I will just do what people should do in an open community and make heavy use of the STFU button.
Rape and child molestation are not viable targets for humour.
If you think they are it is not my sense of humor that needs an adjustment, murder is more funny than child molestation. Yes I realize my view is affected by my society, and that people under the age of 16 have had sex in an accepted manner in history and it is a new found value not an established one, blah blah blah and etc.
BUT slavery was once accepted, and we have grown past that being funny, we should do the same with these issues. I will treat people joking of child molestation that same way I treat people telling racist jokes, with disdain and lack of concern for your existance.

Anything is jokable in the right context, unless of course you are a thin skinned pussy who can't take it as well as you dish it out, or possibly supressing something.
War is an option whose time has passed. Peace is the only option for the future. At present we occupy a treacherous no-man's-land between peace and war, a time of growing fear that our military might has expanded beyond our capacity to control it and our political differences widened beyond our ability to bridge them. . . .
Short of changing human nature, therefore, the only way to achieve a practical, livable peace in a world of competing nations is to take the profit out of war.
--RICHARD M. NIXON, "REAL PEACE" (1983)
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, represents, in the final analysis, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children."
Dwight Eisenhower

I just saw that George Carlin episode on HBO the other night, he is the king of all things offensive to giant pussys out there. I LOVE the man.

.Instead of warning pregnant women not to drink, I think female alcoholics should be told not to fuck
