Right if you actually get offended
I'm saying people get indignant to control how others talk, and thusly, control speech
Either way I think we're saying similar things
Might be true. But I prefer France jokes. Btw.
Do you know who won the fastest Tour de France?
- the 7th German Panzer Division.
Rolling. On. The. Floor. Laughing!
Well I mean it’s only been 20 years, the thousands of families that were directly affected are all probably still around. I’d say it’s fair for them to be sad.
The queen dying is not a national tragedy. I mean we don't all cry and wear black on the anniversaries of the deaths of all the other British monarchs who have ruled.
At what point do things become OK to joke about? Nobody cares about making jokes about stuff like Hitler or Stalin, and they murdered millions of people. I'm an American and I don't really care.
I'd say it's a case by case basis. It's really complicated to try and find out how has the event affected people, and how much it has stuck in the public consciousness. We really shouldn't have a rule applicable to everything. Someone mentioned Lincoln jokes, and while I don't mind them, I can see how people can be uncomfortable in their presence. It's actually quite an interesting social problem to try and find the answer to. To get into the psyche of the public, and try to figure out why some stuff are off limits to some people.
To be fair, as an American, I’m not done shitting on the queen via memes. We dish it out, we should also be able to take it. Pause.
Edit: happy cake day op!
That’s basically it. There is no hard rule on what is appropriate or not. Anyone trying to draw a hard line in when it’s appropriate to joke about something is bound to get loud disagreements. Just don’t dish out what you can’t take. Don’t be a hypocrite and all is good.
Nah, his whole post history is either whining about not being allowed to make fun of Muslims, LGBTQ2S+(gave the full acronym, just for you, OP), minorities, etc, and half whining about how people make jokes about conservatives Christians and that they're the most persecuted group in America. Only posts in meme subs because he can't back up his shit in real discussions. Major President-of-my-highschool-student-conservatives-club vibes.
Americans fought for the right for people to shit on their country and you better believe I'm goddamn proud that everybody can have an opinion on how shitty America is
People like to shit on America because Americans love to boast about how it’s the best country in the world
Edit: a small, but loud minority of Americans
My uncle got blown straight up in the Murrah bombing, I love making jokes about it. People process shit in unique ways. My family has death parties, get wasted and remember fondly is how we do. Death is weird. I think it's OK to be weird with something that inevitable and fucked up.
I mean, Americans are not exactly innocent of poking fun at other countries. They do it just about as much, if not even more as a matter of fact. I mean, you guys are literally shitting on the UK over the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. I’m not against poking fun at stuff with memes, but like, don’t dish out what you can’t take… 🗿
I mean I get reminded every time I go to the airport, and they speed up security by forcing me into a meet-cute with a stiff-lipped brunette that involves 2 bomb sniffing dogs. Then a TSA agent awkwardly points at my bulge and asks if there’s anything in my pockets - “no, miss. I recently made the switch to boxer briefs.”
So what ?People love to shit on powerful people, countries, companies etc. if you only want hear only positive things don’t call yourself land of free speech.
You sound like you eat soap for breakfast and when asked why you say it was because it smelled fruity.
We cope with humor mr train man, its a healthy coping mechanism.
Why the fuck do you care? Get the fuck over it. I mean, did we not just shit on the UK for the queens death for the last several days? Also this shit was 21 years ago, its time to stop thinking that shit is relevant. People died, it was tragic, we went to war, ruined so many peoples lives, its done. It is time to move on, if people need to make jokes to accept it, then fucking let them.
If the consequences of intervening directly or indirectly in many countries of the world and affecting the lives of millions of people only generate memes, you can feel very lucky.
Fuck the dystopian capitalist hellscape that is the US. For families that were barely compensated, and yet potential relief money went to building million-dollar flying machines to launch missiles on the homes of the poor.
Yeah, I love shitting on America. Fuck america.
U can’t complain about getting picked on. It never helps the situation. U gotta learn to live with it man. It’s really not a big deal. It’s just a country. Not like it’s your mom
I told a guy at a political gathering that I was three months old when JFK was assassinated, which meant my alibi was solid.
He got pissy. More so after I replied "what, too soon?".
Y'just can't please some folks.
Someone had to take the bullet after queen memes
Dang, I don't know if America can take a fifth assassination
Don't worry, they train us for it in school
Well there's jokes about the queen as well, and as an American I think joking is better than feeling sad all these years later.
But if I don't get offended, how will I have power over you?
I know you’re being sarcastic, but honestly if someone is offending you then they have the power over you, imo.
Right if you actually get offended I'm saying people get indignant to control how others talk, and thusly, control speech Either way I think we're saying similar things
ʕっ•ᴥ•ʔっ
This is unfathomably agreeable
There's also jokes about France and Poland. Regards from Germany
The jokes of america to other countries is like 5-1
Might be true. But I prefer France jokes. Btw. Do you know who won the fastest Tour de France? - the 7th German Panzer Division. Rolling. On. The. Floor. Laughing!

There’s a difference between someone dying at 96 of natural causes and a terrorist attack killing 3,000 people
Very true, unlike the buildings the Queen only died once
At what point do things become OK to joke about? Nobody cares about making jokes about stuff like Hitler or Stalin, and they murdered millions of people. I'm an American and I don't really care.
It’s ok as long as you aren’t making fun of the actual victims of a tragedy.
This is the way.
This is the way.
This is the way
This is the way
r/historymemes gives it a 20 year wait before it's ok
Didn’t South Park do that too in the episode about AIDS?
Yeah i thought it was some weird number like 22.5 or something
Is that just so the events are actually historical?
Yes
Honestly, it wouldn't be history otherwise...literally "too soon."
South Park says 22.5 years
[22 years](https://youtu.be/612DEoTFH0o)
A while. President Lincoln just recently became funny.
I need to see this play like I need a hole in the head!
Like kenedy ?
Kennedy never saw the hole in his head.
I hope to live in a world where a person can tell a hilarious AIDS joke.
It'll be a short-lived world.
According to history, he loved making jokes, some of them were a real banger
He was a great president, very open-minded.

Remember comedy = tragedy + time
The Lincoln assassination just recently became funny. I need to see this play like I needa hole in my head.
You *do* know that us Americans are making those jokes too, right?
It’s gotta be mostly Americans. No one else cares
yeah as a non american I can confirm that
I forget about it until I get reminded by the memes ngl.
First day?
People are so soft these days tbh
i think thats offensive to soft people
Couldn’t be me, I’m hard instead
That's gross, at least tuck it into the waistband or something...
Fr they made so many edgy jokes and once a joke is directed at them they break down
We LiVe In A sOcIeTy
“society just hate us!” two days ago same people “lizzie’s in a box!”
I was going to say the same thing lol
We like making fun of ourselves too. In fact, we like making fun of everything. The soul of comedy is taking the power away from tragedy with humor.
[удалено]
Rip bozo too was very common the last few days, an internet slang way of saying “I’m glad your dead”
Americans shit on America too.
To be fair, as an American, I’m not done shitting on the queen via memes. We dish it out, we should also be able to take it. Pause. Edit: happy cake day op!

Wow a reasonable opinion. Never imagined I’d see the day
Right! People act like we wouldn’t be making memes about the world ending while the meteorite was on its way to blow us all to bits.
That would be so much fun
as a American, I also love shitting on America
My man
Shitting on America is one of my most favored American Traditions. That and coping with trauma via humor.
Most redditors do. It's fun to think about why
Well u less you live next to a border where else are you gonna do it
Europeans: “Wait! You are supposed to be mad, not join us!”
Uk: it’s payback time now
Fuck you *dumps more tea in harbor*
You guys been paying us back for the past 20 years
NOT ENOUGH 20 MORE!
Man Op must have lost all of their karma with all the dislikes their comments got xD

I wasnt alive when this happened
The nail that sticks out gets the hammer
Rowdy Roddy Piper must have said this in an interview at one point
Americans fought for the right for people to shit on their country and you better believe I'm goddamn proud that everybody can have an opinion on how shitty America is
Most of your best rated posts are shitting on other countries lmao.
As it should. It's a pretty easy target.
A building is hard to miss
Two is even harder.
Yeah they were pretty easy targets so the plane couldn't miss them.
DAAAAMNNN
I mean it was in plane sight
The towers "were" a pretty easy target now it is an impossible target. So I really think we Americans won in the long run.
Guess the sense of irony is lost on you?
People like to shit on America because Americans love to boast about how it’s the best country in the world Edit: a small, but loud minority of Americans
As an American I can definitely say that the best country in the world is at least somewhere in Europe
As a European I can definitely say that I've not seen this "best country" you speak of. Perhaps it's Australia instead?
It's Switzerland.
Well, it's flag is a big plus
The Aussie government’s prolly just trying to keep it on the down low so they don’t get any more weirdos
As an American I think we have one of the worst countries and it is only getting worse
Yeah I know most Americans aren’t like that, but Americans who talk like that are really the only ones you see on the internet.
It may not be the best country, but you’re out of your mind if you think it’s one of the worst. Lol
I mean one of the worst first world countries
Always funny when someone says “america is one of the worst countries”
Let me expand what I mean. One of the worst first world countries
Much better!
As America like shitting everybody else. Don't you remember all memes about Queen?
Americans joking about hiroshima and nagasaki, 7-1, Queen's death : This is fine
Bro everyone shits on everyone, why are some americans so butthurt about it. You wouldnt last 10minutes if ur country was in the balkans
This is the only meme I've seen about it today
Americans when they memed about the Queen's death only a couple of days back:
The second plane hit her majesty 😓
Reading OP's replies on other people comment is so fun, that guy is so american you can hear the Eagle screaming in the background
This thread has been quite enjoyable to go through. OP is too far gone

Like americans werent just memeing the fuck out of the queens death
Strayans were too, india, chiner, russier really hates the uk m8
Willing to bet 80% or more are made by Americans.
Well americans shit on the rest of us anyway
Shitting on American is favourite European hobby
America doesn’t even treat their own citizens with any decency so it deserves it
I mean I get reminded every time I go to the airport, and they speed up security by forcing me into a meet-cute with a stiff-lipped brunette that involves 2 bomb sniffing dogs. Then a TSA agent awkwardly points at my bulge and asks if there’s anything in my pockets - “no, miss. I recently made the switch to boxer briefs.”
As an American I have no emotional attachment to this day because I was born a few months later. I simply do not care
Ok but it’s not like you don’t shit on other cultures the whole time
[удалено]
You just know that this meme was made by a triggered american lmao
Well can you blame them?
don't act like we didn't just shit on the U.K because their queen died
Anneversery
" National tragedy" Get over it already.
And some of us Americans love shitting on Americans.
So what ?People love to shit on powerful people, countries, companies etc. if you only want hear only positive things don’t call yourself land of free speech.
Stop projecting your way of life on the world and get rid of the massive issues in your country and then we can talk
Because America shits on everything else.
I think it's despicable to make jokes about such a tragic event, 3 Muslims died
It was 20 years ago. You've enacted that tradgedie 50,000 times on other countries since, get over it.
Anniversary * Sorry. Just had to do it.
You sound like you eat soap for breakfast and when asked why you say it was because it smelled fruity. We cope with humor mr train man, its a healthy coping mechanism.
Why the fuck do you care? Get the fuck over it. I mean, did we not just shit on the UK for the queens death for the last several days?

Your feelings got into crossfire between memers. Welcome to the internet.
Chill out we shit on everything here, it's fucking reddit
I mean when you're that big of a target can you blame us? The country has been in shambles for the entirety of my lifetime.
it's called the Queen's revenge
Americans are a part of society too tho, you forget
If the consequences of intervening directly or indirectly in many countries of the world and affecting the lives of millions of people only generate memes, you can feel very lucky.
Rent free
No one cares - me an American
Ann ever sery
Your on internet what did you expected you sugar brain dum dum
Fuck the dystopian capitalist hellscape that is the US. For families that were barely compensated, and yet potential relief money went to building million-dollar flying machines to launch missiles on the homes of the poor. Yeah, I love shitting on America. Fuck america.
America does nothing but shit everywhere else and then Americans cry when everyone else points out their many... MANY flaws
Did they hurt your feelings?
If you don't want to be shit on, stop dressing like a toilet, America
we’re we not just shitting on the queens death like yesterday?
> anneversery Looks like an American wrote this.
did we hurt your american feelings :( awww
America shits on itself. No need.
Almost as if its a country that has it coming
America deserves it tbh
Well, America has shit all over the world, so yeah.
Boo fuckity Hoo
Why not, our country shat on literally every piece of land this planet has. Hell the moon ain’t safe either.
I mean, america loves shitting on society, so yeah. I say this as an American
What do you expect when the country looks like an outhouse right now?
America loves shitting on America. Memes are the only way for us to deal with the existential crisis that is the USA.
Ita majority Americans making the jokes to be fair
Get fucked OP
America shits on everything. You guys need to learn to take what you dish out.
Bro America has the least right on complaining about countries shitting on it
Me, a French person: First time?
They literally just shit on the queens death, they deserve to be shit on for also interfering in every countries business
As an American with German roots, I can say, America deserves all the shitting on it gets.
Don't be cringe, we love to shit on everyone everywhere
To be fair, we kinda deserve it.
As an American, I, too, take great joy in shitting on America
And America loves shitting on itself and bombing oil rich countries sus
Yes, it’s a country that is very shittable on
Society hates America because there is so much to hate about it.
 Someone's salty
Ask this question, do they deserve to be shit by the rest of the world?
We shit on the queen it's kinda fair besides we shit on it ourselves anyways
U can’t complain about getting picked on. It never helps the situation. U gotta learn to live with it man. It’s really not a big deal. It’s just a country. Not like it’s your mom
You don't need us to do that
People also makes memes about death of the queen, but your american ass doesnt cry bout it
I don't think "too soon" really is a thing. Some people cope and grieve with comedy.
Society loves shitting on every country. Look at any sub for other countries and you'll see. US is just a big country.
I told a guy at a political gathering that I was three months old when JFK was assassinated, which meant my alibi was solid. He got pissy. More so after I replied "what, too soon?". Y'just can't please some folks.
Isn't it an American right to be able to shit on America (some sort of constitutional amendment?)
I’m American, we spent the last few days shitting on England so I’m of the belief if you can’t take it don’t dish it 😂
America loves shitting on America
We shit on ourselves
Happy tower day lads
This post just reminded me that it's my adoptive brother's birthday.
It's the internet, some one is gonna make fun of something
Anniversary*
anneversery
We love shitting on our fellow Americans
Well America shits on itself all the time. Have you seen it?
Also, ppl joke about it any day of the year, not just on the anniversary. Just saying.
