Erm... well, yes, maybe you are right... But it still isn't "a wonderful and everybody-friendly-with" way to have fun...at least for the moment. But yea, online it is "a wonderful and everybody-friendly-with" way to have fun, but not for me. :)

WHY THE **** DOES EVERYTHING HAVE TO BE "EVERYBODY-FRIENDLY-WITH"? I AM SO SICK OF THIS "WE'RE ALL PEOPLE, DO SHIT THAT EVERYBODY LIKES AND OFFENDS NOBODY" CRaP.

Now that I just saw this thread, Ive sarted thinking about this too. A lot of people at my school laugh at disaster jokes, especially the Aids jokes.

Its because your on the internet.
On the internet, your not shown personally.
You dont know anybody, and nobody knows you.
Its simply about expressing an opinion because you can.

Eye on the TV
Cause tragedy thrills me
Whatever flavor it happens to be like
"Killed by the husband"
"Drowned by the ocean"
"Shot by his own son"
"She used a poison in his tea and kissed him goodbye"
That's my kinda story!
It's no fun 'till someone dies.
Don't look at me like I am a monster
Thrown out your one face
but with the other
stare like a junkie into the tv
stare like a zombie
while a mother holds her child
and watches him dying
holds him to the sky crying
"Why oh why?"
Cause I need to watch things die
From a good safe distance
Vicariously I live while the whole world dies
YOU ALL NEED IT TOO DON'T LIE.
The song fits perfectly into this thread.

Yeah. People need to suck it up and stop being offended because someone doesn't give a **** about "Their savior" or said Merry Christmas to an Atheist.
On topic - I don't see the benefit of referring to diseases and illnesses so seriously, but I DO see the benefit in laughing at them.

We become desensitized and when we see it more than 5 times it eventually becomes humorous.

Quote from Krob.You know what I mean. We, as people of the internet. We laugh at Aids, death, homosexuals, mocking of religious figures, social groups, jokes about major disasters, etc. Why? Why is it that we find misfortune and disaster comical? Why do we find situations that most people would agree are utterly disgusting and horrible, hilarious. I wonder this sometimes.
why? because its funny. Everyone finds at least one of these things funny, at least one of these things you will find humorous if there was a good joke about it.
But in society, it would be horrible if you did it, on the internets, you can say whatever you want, laugh at what you please, and jack off to child porn
Quote from aycarambaNo, some people is born with Aids. Thats not funny.
well, then its a good thing niggers in africa don't have internet

Seriously why not laugh at shit. Why should I care what anyone individual thinks when I know there are others who back me up. My friends laugh at aids and 911. People give us shit but we don't care.

Because things that are immoral aren't seen (or at least weren't) everyday. You get used to it and instead of being surprised you become intrigued. After so much interest it becomes a habit to laugh at other's misfortunes. Conformity also has a big role.

The human race is naturally in chaos. We are unable to dicde things for ourselves, ex. world leaders. We grow frustrated with inequality, ex. french revolution. We create inequality, ex. poverty,slavery. We kill for no reason whatsoever, ex. serial killers. We create "systems" that lead to further inequality, ex. currency. We burn,destroy,mutalate,crush,poisen, and only give structures that wont last 40 years after we finally leave.
All in all, we are the most brutal thing nature has ever spawned, and that is why we laugh at pain and misery.
