Subject: RE: Parody songs: can they insult and hurt?
"There has to be a line somewhere but that line is not fixed."
I am sure you are right David. I guess the line changes now and then too with context and events. Individually it is hard to define where the line is crossed, as it is a subjective thing, but sometimes, as with jokes, we would all know when it has gone too far.
My supicion on me is that I err on the side of caution a great deal in many things, so would maybe find some things a little more risque than some others, which I can happily manage of course. It's when something is deliberately meant to hurt or insult I have more of a problem.
I, like you, would respect that others who do not feel as I do have a right to express their own views. The idea of this thread is to see what other ideas people hold. Whilst I err on the side of caution in a lot I would not consider myself prudish... perhaps more a dinosaur as I age lol
