This is a thread about the Bubonic plague

I don't think a joke's relevance to today's world should impact how seriously we take it. Just because the Holocaust is more recent and there are still living Holocaust survivors doesn't mean it was any worse than the Bubonic Plague or slavery or whatever. Jokes are jokes. Some are in poor taste, and some aren't funny at all, but so long as you don't go intentionally stirring up hurt and pain in people's lives with them I think they're fine. Everything can be laughed at. People need to lighten up a little.

There is not a word in this post that I didn't agree with.
