Okay, so, today this girl I know-Lauren, just took a sudden dis-interest in talking to me. Is she just on her period or something?

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Not if the joke is over 18 years old.

Depends.  Online, it's usually not so bad.  Offline, you have a 100% chance of getting called a heretic and stoned on the spot, unless you're joking with friends.

Only if you do so while a TSA employee is frisking and groping your 6year old daughter...

Making an opening post with just the word "Discuss" does.  You're not just evil, you're also too lazy to make a proper introduction of what you expect to get in response.

Well, over here in Belgium, we have a tradition of horrible sexual crimes. (Dutroux, Fourniret... There is so many of those pedophile-cum-serial-killer than I cannot remeber all of their names.) So yeah, it is pretty much acceptable to tell pedo jokes.

Aziz Ansari did a stand up special for Comedy Central which included the following routine:

I loved this comedy special and this joke was one of my favorite parts. The subject is funny, especially when kind of satirizing our hyper sensitivity to it.
