[quote=scaredyclassic][quote=ltsdd][quote=scaredyclassic][quote=Blogstar]What would Freud say about Yo Mama Jokes.? I think he would say it’s impossible that they are ever merely just for fun. What would Shakespeare say about them?
Yes. Seemingly fun inocuous interaction is of course very serious business.[/quote]
Innocuous according to whom? To the one that’s dishing it (most definitely) or to the one at the receiving end (very unlikely). The jokes bothered the kid enough for him to tell his dad about it so you can’t dismiss it as harmless. It did have a negative affect on the other kid and he could have reacted in a physical, violent way.[/quote]
Inocuous according to a reasonable middle school male hoping to be accepted by normal male peers so he can have normal relationships with other grown men
Not Inocuous to a little bitch.
More likely than not, son was trying extend friendship in a,peer group. Now the kid is likely to not get such an invitation from those kids at least.[/quote]
You’re talking about a middle schooler. Which could very well be a 10 or 11 year-old 6th grader, no? You think it’s perfectly fine for kids at that age to speak and behave in such a way? You think it’s better if the other kid took exception to the jokes and popped him in the face, instead?
It’s usually harmless and fun…until someone got hurt or killed because of it.
