To be fair, many guides and handbooks and other books of that nature are more meant to be referenced as opposed to read back to front.

I get the intention here but being celibate isn't an aberration either, celibacy exists in nature too, and there are plenty of people who are voluntarily celibate for reasons other than religion, such as many asexual people.

Boobs aren't universal for every man though. Some prefer ass.

Why do men always want to hog all these enjoyable past-times? Next they'll be claiming that stuff like stepping on frozen puddles on the side of the road to hear the satisfying cracking noises is a "guy thing". Like please, we all know men don't go outside.

That's because "I'm sorry" is essentially short for "I feel sorrow". What it means specifically can differ depending on the context. We have lots of examples of phrases that work like this, for example: if you end a relationship with someone you call it "breaking up" with them. If you pass through a tunnel during a phone call and can't hear the other person very well or the call drops, they're "breaking up". That's because something "breaking up" can refer to it falling apart or being severed. When you apologize, you feel sorrow over your own actions and/or the hurt they have caused. When you console someone grieving, you feel sorrow for their loss. This, like puns, is not in any way exclusive to the English language.

The punch line is that "son" and "sun" sound the same. "my kid" isn't a reuse of the punchline any more than "my boy" is, but it reads less awkwardly.

"my kid" is more natural sounding and indicates parenthood a bit more obviously.

The person you replied to WAS talking about Palestinians so at least have the integrity of taking responsibility for your own response which by nature calls Palestinians terrorists.

Israel isn't just killing Hamas. They're killing civilians. They're not taking any appropriate steps to avoid killing civilians. Israel has all the power in this situation, including the power to avoid as much collateral damage as possible, but they don't care about collateral damage, they only care about giving collective punishment.
