Emo has been associated with a stereotype that includes being particularly emotional, sensitive, shy, introverted, or angst-ridden. It has also been associated with stereotypes like depression, self-injury, and sadly suicide.

I'm like you Ian, had to read a couple of times. I Believe " emo" is schoolyard abbreviation for emotional, and such people in that particular state cut themselves.

All clear..? Or should I say cut and dried?

I wondered the same thing. Even a google search did not give me enough info to get diggers joke.

I thought it was hilarious. Sadly, many people seem to be losing their sense of humour in the quest for politically correct woolly headed thinking that only serves to enhance the power base of the wimps, ******* and wowsers that are reducing this, and other countries, to the lowest common denominator.
The ability to laugh with and at yourself is the very basis of inner strength and resilience, which is just what many of the less fortunate amongst us need, rather than mollycoddling and wrapping in cotton wool. End rant. :cool:

I think Im getting close but Im unsure if there is a market for it... hopefully you guys can help me out there..

what Im trying to do, if I succeed will mean no lawnmowers are required anymore, no more untidy lawns, and no time spent on the weekend cutting lawns.

Im trying to cross a hardy evergreen self repairing lawn with an "emo" kid...

If I succeed I suspect the lawn will constantly cut itself! hope to hear your views!

I just think that jokes about children with mental disorders and self harming are not appropriate. If you want to think I'm a 'wowser' or '******' for that then that's your prerogative. I couldn't give a flying hoot.

Similarly suggesting that those with a mental illness need to 'harden up' shows just how backwards attitudes in Australia are.

Did you hear about the new emo website?

How many Emo kids does it take to screw in a lightbulb? None, they all sit in the dark and cry.
