Is death a topic that should be joked about?

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.

My parents do that, sadly. They went to a persons funeral they didn't even know, dragging my brother and I along, just to suck up to people.

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.

The only difference between Hitler and the man next door who comes home and beats his kids every day is circumstance. The intent is the same-- to harm others.

I told her there was a secret method to doing it - and there is - but my once nimble and agile fingers were unable to perform because I was under the influence.

I would laugh, not hate. I'm a male. :(

Since when was Ireland an island...? :wall:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

God has died, been black and been white at some point in history, not to mention he loves the little children of the world. Michael Jackson now fits this description, ergo he is God.
