Personally, I can't see anything funny in them. But, people made some damn funny jokes about 9/11, and that shit was pretty serious.Dulcinea said:Anything can be laughed at? Sure. You can laugh at anything. But why would you want to? I was raped as a child and I don't think there's anything lol worthy in that. An Australian solider was shot in the head yesterday and died on the spot. Their body is being transfered home so his family can bury him. Care to point out there joke there? I knew a girl whose mother and father died of AIDS. She was orphaned and led a less than ideal life in foster homes that saw her and her younger sister abused to the point of hospital trips. I see nothing worth laughing at there either. A divorced man in Sydney (near my home) kidnapped his daughter and murdered her, before then committing suicide. Nothing funny in that. One of my friends committed suicide after years of bullying in school. Her family asked the school to hold a service so that the young girl's friends could say goodbye. Someone decided to start laughing during the minute of silence. This caused my friend's mother to break down in tears, as those who bullied her in life were continuing to mock her in death.

It truly saddens me that I have to add this to what would otherwise be a mockingly-and-frankly-FUN-post, but here it goes:
THERE IS NOTHING (and I mean NOTHING) IN THIS WORLD SO SERIOUS THAT IT CAN'T BE LAUGHED AT. And, YES, games fall into that category - ALL OF THEM! Seriously, are you all a bunch of Jihad-ists willing to forgo your humanity over a cartoon? (<--too soon? If so, let me know!) Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww... fuck it. Bring on the flameburger!
Alright, Sergeant Sarcastic Tone, if you want to take that attitude, I'm game. I do believe he said "There is nothing in this world so serious that it can't be laughed at." He did not specify if he meant one lone crazed hermit, or the average person. So yes, technically everything CAN be laughed at, whether deliberately, unintentionally, or even if the laugher understands what he's laughing at. Perhaps the joke is in the delivery, Dulcinea, and while perhaps it is not the event itself being laughed at, it's the wording. Or even the fact that you're not supposed to laugh at it.Dulcinea said:If you had read the post you may have noticed their words: "THERE IS NOTHING (and I mean NOTHING) IN THIS WORLD SO SERIOUS THAT IT CAN'T BE LAUGHED AT." I don't see anything there that would suggest they were solely referring to video game anger. In fact, the next lines of the quote tell us they weren't.Thyunda said:Also, you're comparing people getting pissed off at a game to those very tragic examples of yours.
I find reading the available information well before making comment on it helps resulting dialog.
I have to read shit twice to get the full story. Otherwise, you're editing it AS I'm reading it. Which I doubt.Dulcinea said:I'm honestly wondering if you read the comments you're quoting, for I must wonder if you did how you missed the bolded part;Thyunda said:So yes, technically everything CAN be laughed at
"Sure. You can laugh at anything. But why would you want to?"
Unless you quoted my comment simply to agree with me?
But your challenge not only agreed with him, but also challenged a facet of his argument that DID NOT EXIST. The fact that you actually typed a lot of words to argue a point that wasn't there says more about your urge to argue than it does about my reading skills.Dulcinea said:You don't seem to understand how these things work. You see, when someone puts forth an idea and openly asks for challenge, going so far as to say 'bring it on,' they must expect and accept said challenge(s) when it(they) arrive.Thyunda said:words
If you're done? Enjoy your day/evening.
