Since Mick has let me know he'd like to discuss this post

www.tribe.net/thread/d812...d589935071e2

in open forum, I will oblige. I don't think its funny to rough someone up because they happen to work in a bar...or any other job...where they do not control what the establishment sells or does not sell.

I like root beer. I think fine root beer should be available everywhere. However, some businesses obviously do not share my belief. If you are angry about the lack of root beer, or any other product, being made available whenever you think you should get it, at least target your frustration at the people responsible. Now, sometimes we all tip over a bit when it comes to things that frustrate us. But, realize that when you do that you are not always behaving appropriately. And, its not funny to be beat up for something that you do not control, although you may find a nervous humor in the possibility.

      Yeah, he was probably kidding. But, it wasn't funny is what I'm saying...unless you are the owner of the bar and are a sadist to boot. Yeah, some people get paid to take the blame and be beaten up for what their boss does. Sure. But its not funny...except to the persons enjoying the beating and the people who enjoy watching the beating.

        I have to ask if you've ever watched and laughed at any old Road Runner/Coyote cartoon.

          Sure. But that's mostly Wiley E getting his comeuppance for trying to capture and eat the Road Runner. However, the humor there is completely different from the attempted humor in the post I referenced above.

          In your "joke" the only person to get messed up is some innocent bartender with you doing the beating. Not funny. Unless, of course, you consider beating up people who have nothing to do with the problem at hand as funny. Violence is not funny just because its mentioned or happens.
