    Every joke has some truth in it

    Could be one of many reasons, including:
    People just don't like you
    Your joke sounded serious
    It wasn't obvious it was a joke
    The person just doesn't understand that it was a joke
    People on the internet like to argue for the hell of it

    I agree. Like when my boss makes a sarcastic joke and nudges me like saying "it's all in good fun". Saying he is joking around doesn't remove the fact that he insulted me.

    However, if the joke is just a joke that has nothing to do with making fun of someone, then I imagine that the joke did not coincide with the other person's sense of humor.

    It might be offensive to certain people, it also depends what kind of a joke it is.

    Yes, I agree. It is natural that one humor can't make all people laugh.
    It depends on culture, education level and also personality.

    It's hard to convey a joke over the internet. Part of what makes a joke funny is the delivery, the way a person says it along with body language.

    The internet is an impersonal thing so sometimes it's hard to understand what's a joke and what isn't.

    usually people dislike racial jokes for obvious reasons.

    But i think people should relax and enjoy some humor in their lifes.

    Its simple. People who understand the joke, they smile or laugh or giggle but who dont they start seeking explanation..... All depends on sense of humor... :)

    Well, it's those people just don't have a sense of humour, that's why!
