People are too worried a lot of times what other people in the audience are going to think about them, so they like to feign offense so other people don't think that they're inappropriate for laughing at something.
Jim NortonMy job is to express who I am and what I hate about the country and what I love about it and what I hate about myself and what I love about myself and to make you laugh while I'm doing it.
Jim NortonIt just seems like right now weโre in a place where people are being witch-hunted for expressing an opinion. Even if itโs a lousy opinion or a shitty opinion, and comics I donโt think can ever fall into the trap of any groups that want to censor what a person says or thinks or punish a person for expressing what they think. Anything you say about a social issue is going to offend half the country. I donโt care how nicely you say it, I donโt care how well you construct the joke, simply by stating the opinion, you are for something and anti something else.
