I disagree strongly with your ill-informed feelings about social attitudes in the South; let's leave it at that.

Ill-informed? I just lived through 7 years in Texas.
I'm not sure if I'm more amused that you think that Texas is "the South" or that you think that living in Texas from 1998-2005 (in Dallas, right?) makes you an expert on social attitudes there.
My point, poorly-made, I am happy to concede, is that the glidepath of social acceptability of gay/racial/gender jokes is on a more rapid descent than the glidepath of social acceptability of disability jokes. I can't believe that you would disagree with this or that, from living in a big city in Texas for the last seven years or so, you have a greater ability to judge this than I do. But I don't want to fight about it anymore. It's almost Friday, and I've just closed a big thing and want to talk about drinking and fucking, not argue about who's got more southern cred.
