This forum is full of sickos

[Dan2nd]

I admit that when I met with my friends today we all exchanged a few Michael Jackson jokes... but that doesn't mean that I am disrespecting him.

Michael Jackson was never normal I mean would you have been normal if you had been a 'pop star' since childhood? But lets be honest if he was normal like all of the other one hit wonders out there would we know him as the king of pop?

I personally think jokes such as this should be expected since he has had such a 'strange' life.. I mean just because he has died doesn't mean I'm never going to watch scary movie 3 and 4 ever again.

Sure rumours will always be around, and sure people will always comment on how he had a lot of surgery but look at Elvis there was all of that stuff about his drug, drink and binge eating problems and he even died on the toilet.. people still make jokes about him but still we remember him as the legend he was and still is as I'm sure MJ will be remembered for many years to come.

I think the best solution is just to agree to disagree because I can't see this debate/argument going anywhere. The simplest solution is to just ignore (and maybe report) posts you find offensive and move on.

MJ jokes are easy. They always have been and that's why people are making fun. When Jade was dying, I was against all the jokes, but people carried on and people laughed. Nobody asked to ban those, so why should things change for Michael Jackson? Different people find different things funny and people shouldn't be banned for that. It's minor.

No-one actually knows hes a pedo though do they I agree some things he did was sick but hes still the king of pop.

You'll never avoid jokes, there are jokes on every single subject matter so saying specific (clean) jokes can't be said is a bit over the top in my opinion. ]

We can avoid jokes on Habbox very easily. Just ban the rude jokes...

To the bit in bold, I've lost someone incredibly close to me and I made "immature" jokes. Its not for you to say waht the right way to react to something is as people all have their own individual way of coping with certain things. The death of someone close to me is in no way comparable to the death of Michael Jackson.

I'm not saying what's right and how to act when someone dies, I'm saying what's obviously inappropriate and immature to do when they die. I also didn't say you were close to Michael Jackson, obviously you wouldn't feel the same way about his death as you would regarding someone closer to you. But the same principle still applies, you can still show him some respect by not making rude jokes.

Don't be so patronizing please, hxf users better than having a different humour? Seriously, what is so hard to understand? Everyone's different, get over it. You talk **** by the way, because we're teenagers (why do you refer to everyone as teenagers, aren't you one too? not that you tell your age) you think we can't deal with deaths 'properly' or have never experienced any??? That's ********, I have had a few people close to me die and this is the way I deal with it, make light of the situation as I've said before. There is no law or nothing about making fun of a dead person I would be really disappointed if staff ever made it into a rule.

:eusa_thin I think I handle things pretty well, that's why I can laugh and joke and not take things seriously which is better than can be said about many others, there is not a PROPER way to grieve there are just different ways. You can NOT ban/sack anyone for having different views and opinions, that's called corruption.

Oh in that case lets all start to rob stores and get into fights and laugh at everyone who is dead and not care about anyone. We can justify it as legitimate behavior by saying, "we're just teenagers".

When my dad died I wanted to play 'Another one Bites the dust' at his funeral, honestly I couldn't care less

Again, my Dad died and I still find the jokes funny, I think it's a shame that you have to take this so seriously...


Honestly, some people have to Joke about things, every on needs a good joke once in a while. When it's someone that you liked it seems harsh, however if it was Osama Bin Laden or similar then most of people against the jokes would be joking, most people are hypocritical about everything...

If the jokes were in good humor then that's different. However, the "jokes" I saw were not something I could see Michael's family laughing at...

[Clowgon]

Just leave things how it is...

There's no point in getting into arguments about it..... All i am saying is there should be tougher sanctions on people who make sick jokes like that about dead people.

EDIT: PriceTags i could recall people complaining about the sick Jibes that were aimed at Jade, not many were complaining about Jade compare to now but there was a good few who complained...

Not really, it's your choice whether to look at the jokes, the new spoiler rule is in place and different people are offended by different things so it wouldn't be practical.

I would constitute a rude joke as one that conatins swearing or inappropriate contnet like grotesque sexual references.

I'm not saying what's right and how to act when someone dies, I'm saying what's obviously inappropriate and immature to do when they die. I also didn't say you were close to Michael Jackson, obviously you wouldn't feel the same way about his death as you would regarding someone closer to you. But the same principle still applies, you can still show him some respect by not making rude jokes.

Just because you deem it immature though doesn't mean people can't do it. If this forum was ran how you want it ran it would be like a prison. I never once suggested you said I was close to Michael Jackson, so thats out the blue. Some people find it funny, some people don't. Thats it at the end of the day. Its not harming you personally or anyone who reads them. They just might get a bit aggrevated. If we spend our entire days focusing on the negatives it drags you down, and thats exacatly why I don't do that. It may mean I don't take things seriously but at the end of the day I don't care. I'm not changing who I am just because a few people online consider it to be immature. Accept people for having a different sense of humour to you. Compared to everything bad in this world this is absolutely nothing.

The other day nvrspk4 had to take down child pornography that had been uploaded to UploadPicz, and I'm having to check constantly to make sure the same doesn't happen again. That is the sort of thing I find sick - things that are actually harmful, things that are breaking the law and things that are actually harming peoples lives. A joke about a pop star to me is just such a trivial thing to get upset about.

[Callum.]

No not really, i don't see that as some sort of abuse.

Tbh some of the staff on here are quite frankly immature... and can't handle situations properly.

If i had the power to sack and ban members. At least 10-15 staff would of gone and about 40-50 forum members would of been Ip banned.

Obviously Habbox would take much action as most of the ppl who would of got banned pay for habbox donation...

But the staff should lead an example and i don't think no one did last night or even today to try and calm the situation down, and stop these stupid comments going on.

Same goes to the forum members, there's no need to make jokes about a person who's died. Really shows how narrow-minded you are..

Let's hope he don't come and haunt you tonight...

lol joker.

i saw a post by sammeth and then loads following like "agm posting sick jokes". so when everyone was post goody jokes it was fine?

atleast he didn't die painfully!!!! :eusa_danc:eusa_danc:eusa_danc:eusa_danc

I know people complained about the Jade jokes, because they angered me, and so do these Michael Jackson ones, but if people were banned for making the jokes, there would barely be a community left. He's an easy target and now he's an even easier target. I've chosen to avoid the Michael Jackson threads, and I think that's the best thing for it.
