Just saying, thats the law. I didnt make it, but I follow it.
My expletives aimed at people who don't take responsibility just because they got drunk, not you. ;)

As a family member of a rape victim (actually, fate has a really weird sexual interest in our family) I can safely say rape jokes can be hilarious. I just don't ever tell them around my family (except my brother, who also seems to be of the opinion rape jokes can be funny).

"Anything worth taking seriously is worth making fun of."

I don't believe in sanctity, and if people can't differentiate a joke from an offensive comment, they're probably socially retarded.

Yes. People should be allowed to make jokes about anything. This is due solely to the fact that people can take offense to anything, so if one thing is made off-limits, you are embarking upon a slippery slope.

Speaking of which: never high-five a rabbi.

And laws, especially morally ambiguous ones such as these, are eternally concrete & can never be changed at all right?
Well, I dont see how me saying they're not raped or just going out and doing it myself then saying I didnt rape them is gonna help. But hey, if you want to take that approach, by my guest.

I know, like I said, I was just saying. There's a lot of different kinds of rape, and they probably shouldnt be rapes.

Should it be funny no. Can it be funny yes. I'm getting this quote wrong but it goes like
this. "stubbing my toe is tragedy, falling down a manhole and dieing is comedy." So yea as
humans we can find just about anything funny even the most inappropriate things.

Well, they make me laugh. So yeah.

All about the personal taste, and personal experience. I would probably change my mind if I ever had to personally confront the issue.

If you don't agree with a law, you try & change it. You try to get people agreeing with you.

Fuck, it's better than just letting it happen.
Yeah... Problem with that is it makes you look like you're for rape, and no amount of silver tongue waggling will change that. But hey, go ahead, start the movement, maybe I'll get behind it. Like I siad, before, I dont see anything wrong with it, because even if the person is drunk you shouldnt be taking advantage of them as a sober person.

I'm not sure how it works if you're both drunk.

I agree with this. As long as someone doesn't take it too far any type of joke can be funny. If people are gonna be over sensative about this then were does it stop. Do we ban muder jokes? Do we just flat out stop finding anything that may be hurtful to anyone else funny? It's a slippery slope so it's better just to draw a line and leave it there.
