fakeitormakeit2 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Well the way I see a funereal is its a memorial for the dead person. They should be celebrated and their life's challenges and good times be recalled, which involves joking. However I got very annoyed when I recently went to someone's funereal and people were talking about each others kids and jobs, no relation to the person, and they were laughing obnoxiously. Death is good if the life of the person was good. Death is simply the next stage of a continued life. What people cry over is just a shell and is no longer the person.

They went to a persons funeral they didn't even know, dragging my brother and I along, just to suck up to people. ~~~The Harpy List~~~Harpy Facts~~~It's Super Effective~~~The Beginning~~~Harpy Therapy Center~~~Alg~~~Jedi Harpy~~~Rohirrim~~~Attenuation~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriegsmier Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Yes, it helps people in a lot of cases. I know for me personally, me and the guys with me in Iraq did it all the time....it took the serious situations and turned them into humor.

TTanT Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Exactly what Nick said... but I have somethings to add. I'm all for humour, but if it involves mass murder or extremely unfortunate circumstances then laughing about it usually considered distasteful. Nick what you mentioned is joking about a particular death to one who endured it, but it goes all the same for a 12 year old dieing of leukemia, deaths of thousands by the hands of a few, and the recent earthquake in Haiti. These things are not to be joked about even if you're not talking to someone directly involved. Well, someone had to shake things up! ...Sorry.... OT: I think jokes are good for just about anything, as they can dull the pain if used correctly. Mind, you also have to guess whether the person your telling the joke to has a sense of humor.

shinedownkid Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 well for me, you really gotta mean something to me to truly be effected if you were to pass away. but if you were someone ive never met, nor talked to, or even barely conversated with, then most likely it'll just brush right off of me and i probably wouldn't care much.

Amaranth_GTO Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 At my funeral, and I'm not kidding, I want to crowd surf, just for the lulz it would give some people.I want to go to that funeral.

K4ylan Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 It was pretty funny. Come on, I know you laughed. But yea I think it is a bit too soon for Haiti jokes. We're still donating money and trying to help them out, should we really make jokes?But for Hurricane Katrina, it is long overdue for some jokes. ~~~The Harpy List~~~Harpy Facts~~~It's Super Effective~~~The Beginning~~~Harpy Therapy Center~~~Alg~~~Jedi Harpy~~~Rohirrim~~~Attenuation~~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're still donating money and trying to help them out, should we really make jokes?But for Hurricane Katrina, it is long overdue for some jokes. I disagree about Haiti. I think humor dulls tragedy. When all of mankind gains the ability to laugh at their own sorrow, then this'll be a happier planet. And no-one joked about Hurricane Katrina because it was too easy. "Pfft, I can handle this here hurricane."-Hurricane Katrina-"OH MY GOD GOVERNMENT HELP ME" The sad part is that that was true.

Dizzle229 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Yep. Anything can be joked about always, just watch out for the people with no sense of humor. And for christ's sake, there's a right way to do it and a wrong way. On a related note, how come when Michael Jackson was alive he was an evil pedophile, but when he died he became a God?

And for christ's sake, there's a right way to do it and a wrong way.On a related note, how come when Michael Jackson was alive he was an evil pedophile, but when he died he became a God? Agreed. I also think it depends on who died and the way they died. For example I wouldn't jest about a woman who was raped and beaten to death- she was penetrated without consent and forcefully killed. In some cases where the death was humorous (as humorous as a death can be) or out of the stupidity of the person, then I'll joke about it. You might recall this little incident http://www.cnn.com/2...lity/index.html and the jokes about how he should receive a Darwin award. There were also several gif's with Batman holding the victim's head in his hands. It seems celebrities get the worst treatment despite the way they die. I remember how quickly South Park jumped on Steve Irwin's death when they included a character attending Satan's Sweet 16 party as Steve Irwin with a stingray tail portruding from his chest.
