it could be though the funny names for some of the places do not make that much sense, a liquor store named Morehammered by a christian day care is well not that good of a joke?
Have you been to Continental Europe? A place that seems devoid of zoning; it is not uncommon to have a day care across the street from a sex shop, next door to a bar, if you are focused on your path it is really not a big deal.
uhh no although you can build a bar or sex shop in the vicinity of a school the closer you get the harder it is to get a license to run it, and if you do manage to get a bar next to a school you will have a special chair reserved for the inspector who is going to be looking if you check every id, so its kinda not a very good idea to build your bar right next to a school if you want to stay in Business.
but im guessing you went to amsterdam once in your life and saw the daycare center in the middle of the red light "road" it was placed there for the girls that workl there by a nun or someone similar

Re: I like the sound of waves crashing
lol i really don't get those that cant take a joke on their expense in slovenija we have tons of different jokes depending on the part of slovenija you come from
gorenjska - well they dry and reuse their toilet paper, their schnapps is a glass of water and a hit on the back whit a bat .... they are deemed as being very stingy, basicly the Scots where thrown out of the gorenska region cause they spent to much.
tajerci and dolenci ( im from the dolenjska region) well a tajerc cant look at an empty glass, and a dolenc cant look at a full one,(we are basecly the drunks of the country) and we have our own mentality our glass is not half full or half empty we are that much closer to the next glass
and similar jokes or predjudice remarks for all our regions and no one gets medieval on anybody where in the rest of the world you show a caricature of mohammed and they burn your flag, you tell them god did not cause the big bang and they call you a satan worshiper .... lighten up people

Re: Targetting "The Line"
the line changes when someone is truly offended and it moves cause some people have though skin and others dont you tell a fat joke to someone who is fat and knows it, and also knows he should do something about it he might not hold a grudge or he may evan truly laugh about it not the emberasing laugh, you can tell the same fat joke to a woman who is fat and has just lost 2 pounds and she thinks how well she is doing and after the joke is told she runs to the refrigorator eats ice cream for 2 days and dosent stop crying.
the line is clearly not visible and one should do his best to know the person you tell something that may offend him it is the only way to hope you wont cross the line.

Re: Targetting "The Line"
What I mean when I say "there is no line" is that there is no topic that one couldn't try to make funny. I've heard funny jokes about pretty much every subject - AIDS, rape, pedophilia, cancer, handicaps, dead troops, genocide (and a host of others). The only thing is, you risk coming off like a completely insensitive asshole if it doesn't work, but it can work.
and who does not like dead baby jokes
what is bad? 100 dead baby's in a trash can
what is rely bad? one alive at the bottom
what is worse? he has to eat his way to freedom
what is worst? he comes back for more

Re: The Once and Future Line
The reason there is no hate law relating to eyebrow density is that no social grouping has ever been significantly subjugated on the basis of bushy eyebrows.
i guess you have not met this man
people make fun of his eyebrows his singing and he does not give a f%&$$ cause he is making money of of it
athough his lyrics are not bad nategnem e tvojo prijatelj can be interpreted Should i f%$# yours too my friend, or what the song realy talks about should is stretch yours too my friend (meaning a Slingshot)
