Sorry, but: 1. Doesn't sound like a joke, note even close. 2. If it happened to my daughter and I was there to witness, I'd have to control myself not to punch

Sorry, but: 1. Doesn't sound like a joke, note even close. 2. If it happened to my daughter and I was there to witness, I'd have to control myself not to punch the asshole in the face too. Especially if he was one of those dork-looking too-coward-to-man-up-and-be-normal nerds. Oh, and that was a joke, wasn't it obvious?

People think it's a joke because shows like south park and family guy have normalized the behavior. We really need to ban free speech and strictly regulate all public speech to make sure no one says anything "wrong".

  You may think you're being clever false flagging like this but you actually have to understand a position before you can parody it.

    Oh I understand it. People aren't sensitive to other cultures, so they need to be re-educated. We've seen from sites like reddit and 4chan that "freedom" only leads to degeneracy. Those that say things that are inappropriate should be censored because they create a culture of abuse. The 1st, and 4th amendments to the constitution of the US need to be repealed so we can shape and mold a non-abusive society.

"Doesn't sound like a joke, note even close." It sounds very much like a very specific joke. Blues Brothers has a scene where Belushi is being obnoxious and asks the father in family of diners at a neighboring table "How much for the little girl? How much for the women?" Of course, the joke there is precisely that it's so outrageous and unacceptable.

  Of course those are two different things.

    What two things are different?

      To sound like a joke, as in everyone will find it funny and immediately know it is a joke, and to sound like one specific obscure line that is a joke in some film, and that people don't immediately get. They both sound like a joke, but here "like a joke" means two different things.

        Ah. I think you're drawing a reasonable distinction. Though I certainly wouldn't say everyone (or even most) need to find it funny to "sound like a joke" in the sense you meant. Surely, there are bad jokes that sound like bad jokes. I think it's probably correct to say that most should "immediately know it is a joke". All of that said, whether that's likely to be the case in this instance depends on a lot of context that wasn't specified.

Everyone likes to beat up imaginary nerds, but what if it was the Charles Atlas kick-sand-in-the-face kind of guy, huh?

  no, I was just making a point, as in saying something stupid and then just using the cop-out that it was a joke, like the first commenter did. I would defend my daughter no matter the size of the asshole, like most parents would.
