While I agree that society as a whole is very soft and sissified, there are certain things that are funny and others that are not.
Example: Racial jokes. Some are so funny that they make you pee in your pants. Others are funny only to those that find the subject funny. So eventhough it technically was a "joke", it wasn't very funny to the majority of people listening. Does that mean that jokester has to have a little more class or does that mean that the listener needs to lighten up?
Basically, when you are truly kidding around about something 99.9% of people will know right away that it's truly a joke. If you have a very mixed reaction, then your "joke" was either delivered wrong or just wrong all together.
There are certain things people should NEVER "joke" about in my book; someone's family/children, someone's religion, someone's misfortune. If that's too many boundaries, then so be it. I just think that respect and tact dictate that people NOT pour salt into someone's wounds and then call it a "joke" and laugh about it. That's just you being an ass and hiding behind a smile.
