Here's a joke. "What's the difference between a terrorist and a redhead?"

Here's the punchline. "You can negotiate with a terrorist."

LOL!!!! What nonsense. :o)

God, people are always looking for something to get self-pitying about, aren't they? As if it kinda removes the obligation to go out and grasp the day. Grow the hell up and stop whining.

My point is though that I don't think this is always possible. The set of things which are obviously acceptable is individual and cultural. There are certainly things which I feel I should always make sure to be on the safe side of, but I can't include every possible social interaction in that list, or I'd never be able to do anything. Hence, I should give people some leeway in my reading of their actions towards me, rather than assuming the worst straight off.

True. I just don't think that ribbing someone is ever on the "obviously acceptable" side of the line, unless the recipient has said that it is for them. Without that, I think it's always either a "not acceptable" or a "maybe", so a person does it at their own risk.
