Is her appearance more important than her rape to you?
Of course not, and I certainly didn't say nor intend to indicate that it is.

She just really does look like some kind of Richard Simmons and Steven Tyler hybrid clone. I was just making a joke at her expense. Probably a bit more insensitive than I intended.

I make inappropriate jokes all the time; pretty much desensitized to everything. My girl gets on my ass all the time for making really dark jokes. Pretty sure it's an Army thing.

Not excusing my insensitivity, just so you understand:

"The 3D realization that occurs from having witnessed someone dying right before you can either shut you down, or wake you up, and for some, it does neither because they’re emotionally disconnected from it all. They have to be in order to still function normally in an environment where every day death is a large factor.

How do we adjust? We laugh. We have to laugh or we will go crazy, but what makes us laugh? The dirtiest most disgusting jokes you can imagine. Why? Because it’s a defense mechanism, so we grow so emotionally calloused that at times, it becomes difficult to experience every day normal emotions. We have to relate to something just as hideous and attempt to see the comedy in it. It’s the same way we deal with the hell we go through. If you don’t learn to laugh, you’ll go crazy. The dirtier and more disgusting the joke, the more likely we are to still feel some form of humor stir within our minds. If we didn’t laugh, we would feel nothing.

...

Holidays become normal days. Birthdays don’t mean as much; instead, the dates of certain firefights, or the deaths of brothers and sisters take their place with much more deeper meaning. We don’t laugh at the small jokes with no true meaning. We don’t smile too often at the little things in life being that once you’ve seen the realities of what war and life are all about; it leaves you with the realization of just how disgusting and barbaric human beings can be.

Why do we laugh? Why is our humor so off color and misunderstood by civilians, because if we didn’t laugh, we’d be crying in fits of rage.

We laugh to adapt. Our humor is dark and almost always misunderstood. We don’t inwardly mean it, but sometimes it’s the only way we can feel anything."

If it puts it more into perspective, I'm also stupid-high.

I frankly think that whatever helps you to survive the fucking horror of the battlefield has to be a positive thing and no civilian has the right to judge.
Meanwhile I think we need a "naked picture of yourself thread" and you need to get the ball(s) rolling.
Funny the things that cross my mind when I'm drinking.
