Speaking personally, I think all wrong-thinking people are right.

I'd like to ask August what changes he would make if he were Hitler.

[AlohaDawg]

August: Don't attack Russia. Seriously. Keep the non-agression treaty. Also, this time, just kick the shit out of France. They really, really deserve it.

[AugustWest]

Gee, I thought I'd just pay some Dutchman to set fire to Lord Snowden.

Debater mode.. on!

See, I think the problem here is in case construct. Is August supposed to make decisions as if he was a rational actor on Hitler's position? Or is he supposed to make decisions as if he was actually Hitler, with all the whackjobness that typically entails?

Either way, Russia = bad. Don't play that game, man.

Damn straight.
Wow, so I automatically assumed that "Achewood in the Media" would not contain very interesting threads, which goes to show you that assuming makes an ass out of you and some Chinese guy named Ming.
Anyway, my take on the matter is identical, apparently, to everyone elses at this point. If anyone listened to the Jon Stewart interview with Al Franken on Air America lately, they talk about it a lot: everyone has a threshold over which things, for them, are simply not funny. For instance, elderly Jewish people do not like jokes about Hitler, because that is their threshold ("understandably so," Stewart comments).
Personally, I don't know what my threshold is, although it's certainly understandable that it's rape for at least some women. Only recently have I found out how prevalent sexual assault is (friends of mine getting felt up on the subway, some dude grabbing my sister's breast), and that's freaked me out as well.

DON'T MAKE JOKES ABOUT THE GRAFFITI ON OVERPASSES TO YOUR GIRLFRIEND!

she will most likely NOT see the humor in saying "oh, so they give _great_ head, i'll have to jot that number down."

I can't decide whether to imagine you saying this like Kryten or like a Power Ranger activating part of their mech.

But... I don't want the world. I really do just want your half.

I am not entirely sure, either, except that I think I might implode in shame if I had to be, say, the Pink Ranger. Because holy crap.

That's graffiti written on a bridge, not an overpass.

Growing up in the American South, you quickly learn the difference.

[AugustWest]

Really?  I grew up in a very southern town, but I'm not sure I know the difference.

the funny thing is, that my reaction of "wtf is she talking about" to your reaction to me saying "oh, so they give _great_ head, i'll have to jot that number down" is the exact same reaction ("wtf is she talking about") i had to her reaction to my saying "oh, so they give _great_ head, i'll have to jot that number down" which i guess just serves as a concrete example to NOT MAKE JOKES ABOUT THE GRAFFITI ON OVERPASSES TO YOUR GIRLFRIEND!

ever.

incidentally, an overpass is a bridge that has a road on it that goes over another road.  so, an overpass is a bridge, but a bridge is not necessarily an overpass.  i'm sure there are other definitions, but that's the definition i was going on.  definitely.

i think.

dammit, wtf am i talking about?

It took me three read-throughs to have any idea what you actually meant to say. I lose at life.

(Also, I accuse my parents of not adequately teaching me the difference between bridges and overpasses.)
