AnneLine Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Agreed, not approving. Think it might be a bit of mod-testing by the Phounder ... but not sure.... Actually, being someone who doesn't listen to TV or Radio much during the day, I hadn't realized the Court HAD spoken this morning... or I probably would have responded differently. But I think Franciscanheart might be right about one thing... Mrs. dUSt probably does find it easier to dust with THE dUSt not hanging around....

To Jesus Through Mary Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 I didn't say I approved. It's in bad taste though. Wasn't directed solely towards you. You weren't the only one upset by innuendos. Just seems like bizarre a double standard, considering the gravity of the matter at hand vs the subject context previously. I don't think poking fun/making light of is really an appropriate response... especially making a sexual joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnneLine Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Valid point, TJTM, especially after looking at the original post more carefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seven77 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 TJTM, it's better to make light of the darkness rather than lament it... or words to that effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightofChrist Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Dust I know this is an attempt at humor, but with much respect I must say I am confused and perplexed. As I understood you asked the Phorum to avoid immature jokes that are sexual in nature. How is this joke different and how is it not sexual in nature?

To Jesus Through Mary Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 TJTM, it's better to make light of the darkness rather than lament it... or words to that effect. Really? How is it better? How is making a sexual joke when an attack on marriage is even remotely "better"? Not to mention the crazy double standard. But this is going to have a huge effect on our Church and society. I am not saying to sit around and pout, but I fail to see how making light of such a tragedy is "better" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seven77 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Wow. I thought that we are supposed to be optimistic, hopeful and joyful as Christians. Of course the decision is tragic and we must pray for our nation--- but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy a laugh. The picture is so utterly ridiculous that it cannot be taken as a "sexual" joke. I think that it is quite obvious that dUSt doesn't really care for that person in that way... even though a fruit hat might suggest otherwise… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Christ never said we had optimistic. And of course we can enjoy a laugh, but should we laugh at sin? How is that NOT a sexual joke? Do I think dUSt is really gay? No- is he making a joke- yes. Is it sexual in nature. yep. (Yes I realize I just lost any shot at Church Militant tag) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say I post a image of me and my completely platonic female friend laying on a sofa together I with my hand up her shirt and she with her hand on my bum. Would you be as quick to dismiss concerns that it wasn't a joke that was sexual in nature?

(This place is getting a bit uptight for being Ordinary Time...) thank you for saying Apollo's name - I kept trying to think of it and couldn't! p.s. i think this picture was taken months ago (I think I recall seeing it on facebook), it's not like dUSt had Apollo over at his house specifically to take this picture for the purpose of this thread.
