The fact that we are criticized for laughing at something that is fuuny to
some, but anger to others is just FU$$en messed up.
Joke about hurling a cat draws mixed reactions
GTX_SlotCar assured readers his cat was fine after a joke post about throwing it in frustration. Goy Larsen explained why animal cruelty jokes upset him, others defended black humour and Monty Python, and the thread descended into cat jokes and troll accusations.

Ok. To those few who have expressed concern after my post about hurling my
cat, I assure you that Buster is alive and well and I was only joking.
Pictures of him (alive of course) are temporarily on display at
www.slottweak.com under the News for May 25. Also, I do not really want any
free kittens and I have never felt like tearing my wheel off my desk. For
those who didn't read the post or just don't care, I apologize for taking up
space with this (ridiculous) post.

Well, he was joking and it was obvious to me that he was. I guess some
people don't like or understand black humour.

Yep, it's pretty sickening what goes on in this world to animals *and*
people sometimes. There was a case here last summer where some guy
dragged his dog behind his pickup, people were out to lynch him for it
too.

Yes he was, when Monty Python in their prime made all kinds of sick
jokes, it was funny because you didn't expect stuff like that to really
happen, it was so over the top, not all of their stuff is as much fun
today as it was when it was made, and I'm a big fan of Monty Python

Lynching would have been too good for him IMHO, I would have done to him
what he did to his dog.......like I said, cruelty to animals is one of
them things that gets me going :-|

That's funny. I was going to mention Monty Python and the dead parrot
skit in my other post, but decided against it. :-)

Making jokes on the internet is a dangerous thing, we saw that with
the joke about the wing settings of the plane in which Couldhard
crashed. I have a cat too, and I don't dare to think about something
bad happening to him (her actually) but I found the post about the cat
really funny.
Cultural differences I think...

You just made his point for him. :)
Jeezum Crow, some people really have NO sense of humor I guess.
To paraphrase Tom Sawyer, " All I want is a cat and a string to swing it
with."
For all you cat lovers out there, my cat is sitting right next to me,
purring away, without a fear in the world that I might swing her from a
string. She's a sweetie and treats me better than any person I've ever
known. I reciprocate the favor.
Once, I accidentally knocked my cat off the desk & she hit her head a little.
It scared her. She hid on a little shelf under the desk.
I felt bad so I gave her some strawberry jelly so she would trust me again.
A few weeks later she was eaten by a coyote.
The End

Judging from the pictures, that candy cane Buster is trying to eat
gives me the impression that you are trying to pass off two Christmas
pictures as being recent. I'm afraid at this point that Buster must
be dead. <pauses for a moment of silence>

Well, I'm a cat daddy myself (check sig), but isn't that taking it a
little
too far? But, before we go into the pro/contra debate reg. the death
penalty,
I should just stop here... ;)

A troll is someone who trolls. Someone who makes a provocative post for the
express purpose of generating heated response.
Trolling in the real world is a fishing technique where you drag a line
behind a boat and randomly hope something comes across it and bites.
A troll is an an ugly little charecter who lives under a bridge and eats
billy goats who try to cross it.
You see the analogies?
